Microplane Grater Two-Way Blades

If you like baking, you'll love this grater. The sharp two-way blades grate chocolate into fine flakes which can be added to cake mixtures or used to decorate gateaux. The more compact, the better: This grater is also perfect for grating nuts or matured hard cheese such as parmesan, Swiss sbrinz or mountain cheeses.

These graters are razor-sharp. The numerous little cutting edges are not simply punched out of the metal but are accurately cut by means of photo-etching. This guarantees that blades stay ultra-sharp even after frequent use. Citrus zest, for example, is sliced rather than grated or rubbed, so that it retains its flavour, aroma and vitamins. Chocolate can be grated into fine flakes – as can hard cheese, potatoes and vegetables – without losing its structure.
The graters are made by Microplane in the US (the individual parts, however, are assembled in China). All metal parts are stainless steel; the finely crafted handles are made of walnut wood from Kentucky.
