Microplane grater two-way cutting edge

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.

These reamers are razor sharp. Their many tiny blades are not simply punched out of the material, but are photo-etched with complete precision. That's why the blades are so sharp - and stay that way, because even with frequent use of the graters, they hardly wear out. Citrus peels, for example, are sliced, not grated, and retain flavor, aroma and vitamins. Chocolate and hard cheese can be sliced into fine flakes, potatoes and vegetables retain their structure.

The graters come from Microplane in the USA (but the individual parts are assembled in China). Stainless steel is used for all metal parts and Kentucky walnut wood for the neatly finished handles.
