The kitchen tools you choose largely determine the results you get at the stove. This is true in home kitchens and in Michelin-starred restaurants alike: you simply cannot create quality dishes without the right tools to prepare them.

A grater may seem like a basic kitchen tool, yet it is essential for chefs and pastry chefs alike. Both need a tool that can grate the ingredients they use to prepare or garnish dishes and desserts, so they should choose their grater with care.

In this article we introduce Microplane graters and all the features that make them the graters most loved by top chefs and food lovers around the world. Once you know all the advantages they offer, adding them to your kitchen tools will be a priority.


Microplane grater: the world's sharpest blade for effortless grating

Working with a grater that does not grate properly means working badly. Pushing food against blunt blades it barely glides over slows you down, gives poor results and causes stress. With a tool like that in hand, even the keenest cooks end up frustrated and lose the joy of cooking.

Sometimes the problem is not so much a blunt blade as a blade that is not suited to the food being grated. In these cases too, grating and cooking can become annoying and sometimes difficult.

Microplane has solved this problem by creating the sharpest blades in the world, using new technologies and innovative manufacturing techniques, starting with top-quality materials. Let's find out what makes a Microplane grater different from every other grater.

Microplane grater: quality, design and functionality in your hand

Microplane graters are made from top-quality materials using innovative manufacturing techniques to ensure maximum durability and strength. Every product is designed to be functional and practical, to make life in the kitchen easier and turn meal preparation into a pleasure.Microplane graters

The unrivalled feature of Microplane graters is the extreme sharpness of their tiny blades, which cut food cleanly without crushing or tearing it. This allows flavours and aromas to be released in full. These extremely sharp, precise blades are produced through a unique photo-etching process: this is the Microplane technology that has allowed the company to create a wide range of products, made in the USA, in addition to its graters.

The advantages of a Microplane grater

Thanks to their durable photo-etched stainless steel blades, Microplane graters offer significant advantages in the kitchen:

  • Efficiency and precision: consistently perfect results thanks to sharp, precise blades that let you grate without effort or pressure. Food glides easily over the cutting surface and the grated product does not stick to the blades.
  • Enhanced aromas: because the blades are so precise, food is cut cleanly rather than torn or crushed, so aromas are released in full and flavour is intensified.
  • Versatility: the company has created several series of graters, each with its own look and uses. Every series includes graters with different blades, so each food has the right blade for your needs: a spice blade, a dual blade, a zester blade or whichever suits the food you want to grate.
  • The joy of cooking: cooking is no longer a struggle, so it becomes a real pleasure!
