The Microplane Gourmet star blade grater is the just the thing for creating a fine ‘snow’ of food and spices. The most popular use for star blade graters is for grating whole nutmeg, but try using it for chocolate or even zesting citrus fruits and see how versatile it is.

Microplane’s story begins in Canada in 1994. A housewife 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.

Every Microplane grater features a comfortable soft-grip handle, non-slip foot and protective cover. All graters come with a lifetime guarantee.

Grater is dishwasher safe. Protective cover is hand wash only.
