The Incredibly Effective And Sharp Microplane Grater And Zester
Last Updated on December 28, 2019 by Cassie Lyons
If you’re tired of dealing with mediocre cheese graters, the Microplane Grater will put an end to the frustration. Made from high quality stainless steel and razor sharp grating edges, there’s nothing that this small tool can’t handle. Hard cheeses, onions, ginger and citrus fruits are just a few of the foods that this grater can take on, extracting the best flavors from your food and turning ordinary meals into masterpieces. An ergonomic plastic handle makes the grater comfortable to use, while the stainless steel blade measures out at 8 ½ inches. The idea came from a rasp, which is a woodworking tool that is small and efficient.
Although the cutters are ideal for grating, you will need to use caution when using the tool. Since it is sharp enough to cut through tough rinds and foods, it can also cut through the knuckles. Fortunately, none of the reviews had safety issues with the product and instead exercised extra caution when using the grater.
There are very few negative complaints about this product, especially with the overwhelming number of product owners. The only issues that a few people had were that the razors dulled after some time. However, this is a common occurrence for any grater and most product owners had no issues with the longevity and durability of the product.
