Its six specially designed long blades cut wide, wafer thin shavings. This is ideal for strong flavoured ingredients such as parmesan or truffles – you get a stunning garnish without overpowering a dish. 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.
