The legendary Microplane grater (the one you’ll have seen Jamie and Nigella using and raving about) now has a Gourmet series – all the same sharpness and efficiency with just a little more user-friendliness added in. The black-handled fine Gourmet model is ideal for grating all types of citrus peel without lifting off the fruit’s bitter-tasting pith as well as for grating a variety of hard spices – such as nutmeg, cinnamon, chocolate and Tonka beans. The rubber-coated bar at the end, and thicker, softer handle help with your grip and leverage while you’re grating away.
Microplane’s chemical-etched blades, still made by a family-owned company in America, are far more effective than traditional punched blades, so they cut effortlessly through hard or soft foods without tearing or shredding. The repeated groove pattern spread evenly across the different grating surfaces means less resistance, so grating requires less effort. it’s made from surgical grade stainless steel, with a comfortable, ergonomically designed plastic handle, so it feels fantastic in your hand and makes grating so easy. The snap-on plastic cover can be flipped round to catch food while in use, and of course, keeps the blades safe and sharp when not in use. They are the ‘must-have’ of kitchen graters.
