Microplane grater two-way cutting edge metal handle

If you like to bake a lot, you soon won't want to do without this grater. For example, this kitchen tool with its extra sharp two-way blades quickly and easily planes block chocolate into fine flakes - as an addition to cake batter or to decorate a Black Forest cake. The more compact, the better: This grater can also heartily grate nuts or - interesting for fans of cheese pastries and homemade pasta - well-matured hard cheeses such as Parmesan, Sbrinz or mountain cheese.

They are literally razor sharp. The many small blades of these graters are etched out of the material and not simply stamped (as is common with many other models) - this is where their exceptional sharpness comes from. Another advantage is that even with frequent use of the graters, these photo-etched blades hardly wear out. Thus, citrus peels are not crushed, but cut, thus preserving flavor, aroma and vitamins. Chocolate and hard cheese can be sliced into fine flakes, potatoes and vegetables retain their structure even when cut.

The graters come from Microplane in the USA (but the individual parts are assembled in China). Stainless steel is used for all metal parts.
