Types of Microplane graters
The range of Microplane graters is designed to offer the ideal tool for every preparation need, with a variety of specific blades:

Frequently Asked Questions about Microplane (FAQ)
Why are Microplane graters so effective?
Microplane graters are exceptional thanks to their cutting technology. Unlike traditional graters that tear or crush ingredients, Microplane's sharp blades cut them precisely, allowing the food to release all its original aroma and flavor.
Which Microplane grater should I choose for citrus zest?
The Microplane zester grater is the ideal tool for citrus zest. Its fine, elongated blades scrape away only the colored part of the peel, avoiding the white, bitter part underneath, for an aromatic result without an unpleasant aftertaste.
What is the best way to clean Microplane professional graters?
To maintain maximum sharpness, we recommend washing the grater by hand immediately after use, with warm water and soap. Although many Microplane graters are dishwasher safe, washing by hand will prolong their life and shine.
Are Microplane graters suitable for grating ingredients other than cheese?
Absolutely. Versatility is one of Microplane's strengths. With different types of blades, you can easily grate vegetables, nuts, chocolate, ginger, garlic, and spices. Each blade is designed to offer optimal results specific to each type of ingredient.
