The walnut Microplane coarse grater cleanly cuts through cheese, apples and carrots without squashing or tearing. It’s ideal for wafer-thin shavings of cheddar that melt evenly on top of a lasagne or shepherd’s pie.

Microplane’s story begins in Canada in 1994. A Canadian homemaker was frustrated that her kitchen graters were not up to the task of zesting an orange – instead of neatly removing the zest they would tear, catch and stick. In a flash of inspiration, she took a woodworking tool from her husband’s workshop. The super-sharp blades effortlessly shaved the orange zest, and the idea for Microplane was born. Microplanes are now the graters of choice for professional chefs and home cooks all over the world.

This Microplane coarse grater features an elegant walnut wood handle, non-slip foot and protective cover. All graters come with a lifetime guarantee.

Hand wash only. Do not soak. Use a food-safe mineral oil or wood preserver to keep the walnut handle in top condition.
