The Microplane Gourmet Extra Course Grater, with a 12.6 x 6 cm grinding surface, is designed for vegetables and fruits such as apples, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers and potatoes, as well as foods such as butter or soft and hard cheeses. The wide paddle-shaped blade is manufactured in the USA from stainless steel and features a protector. The Gourmet range of grinders are elegant, wide grinders with a large abrasive surface area, designed with both professional and home cooks in mind. Featuring soft handles and non-slip rubber tips for greater stability, they allow you to effortlessly grate even the most 'hardened' foods. Thanks to Microplane' s proprietary photo-etching technology, which uses chemicals to achieve the cutting surfaces, Microplane grinds will not tear or shred produce, preserving flavour and aroma.
The Microplane brand is the world leader in the production of multi-purpose saws, and its advanced photo-etching blade technology guarantees the extreme sharpness and effectiveness of the tools offered in its catalogue. Microplane saws are manufactured exclusively in the USA and have been patented in many countries around the world. The manufacturer provides a 2-year guarantee against corrosion.
