Microplane Gourmet Series Hard Cheese Grater (Fine, Black)

The microplane is super easy to use and clean. I use it to grate frozen ginger and it works quickly and perfectly. The microplane is high quality and should last for many years to come. It comes with a protective cover which is a great feature. I think the microplane is a great value for the money.

Excellent quality handheld cheese grater. Nice, sturdy handle. Purchased another one for a family member.

Sharp. Easy to clean. Replacement for the same brand that had a cracked plastic casing. This one is metal.

This has a very find grind Excellent for zesting fruit but not for cheeses; in an almost powder.

VERY nice micro plane. I use it for grating my Parmigiano Reggiano cheese for my homemade pizza. I use a regular fine grater for my pasta dishes.

good for grating cheese and garlic

love this product! It is big enough to use for larger things like cheese and such and still a breeze for smaller things. Very sharp, sturdy and comfortable to use.

I do a lot of cooking and food prep at home. There are a few gadgets that are indispensable and my Microplane grater was one of them. I wore it out after many years. Other brands just don't work as well or last as long, so I was searching for Microplanes only. I didn't want another plastic frame, as that was what wore out on the old one. Probably didn't like the dishwasher. But on the Microplane web site I found that they make the "Gourmet series" that has a sturdy metal frame. Perfect! I checked them out in a large kitchen supply store and loved what I saw. There are a few other lines of Microplane graters (Professional, Home, and another with the Lexan plastic frame) that are pretty good but not as good. Not shaped quite as well, not as easy to handle. But one real advantage of the Gourmet Series is the "slider attachment" accessory. Only costs a few bucks but it makes it safer to grate food and it fits the Gourmet Series graters perfectly. Only costs a few bucks, too. And the prices of the Gourmet Series are actually better than the other lines. So I purchased the fine and medium graters with the slider accessory. I am really, really pleased with them. Great food handling, handles (cushioned just right) make it easy to grip and manage the graters, and the slider helps with the grating and protects my fingers. I've tried them on a very wide range of materials. Grates nutmeg well (especially with the slider), although I prefer my nutmeg grater for that (kind of shaped like a pepper mill), and handles parmesan cheese like magic. Grate for shaving nuts into a dish, carrots, etc. Haven't run into a problem yet. And they are built very solid. Frame is solid steel, but not overly heavy in weight. Some brands are pretty flimsy and bend after a bit of use. Not these ones. I liked my previous one with the thick plastic frame for that reason, but it cracked with time. Won't happen with the steel ones!

Troisième râpe microplane que j'achète du même type pour équiper cette fois-ci une amie. Très belle qualité de fabrication. Les lames sont tranchantes et permettent un râpage de haute qualité et de bonne tenue dans le temps. Le chocolat, le parmesan, les zestes (vous retrouverez j'espère le plaisir de zester un citron ou une orange !!) le gingembre ... tout est découpé finement, de manière mousseuse pour le parmesan ... un régal à utiliser mais attention au nettoyage : personnellement à la main sous l'eau chaude et en faisant attention à mes bouts de doigts c'est très tranchant ...

Top! Dopo un anno di utilizzo le lame sono come il primo giorno!

Toppen till köket om man vill kunna riva fint

Nuff said!

Very sharp, use caution
