Core Operational Features
Efficient Coarse Grating Performance: The coarse cutting surface is designed to produce larger, consistent shreds suitable for cheese toppings, vegetables, chocolate, and general food preparation.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction: The stainless steel grating surface provides dependable resistance to corrosion and everyday kitchen wear while maintaining reliable cutting performance through repeated use.
Controlled Handheld Operation: The elongated rectangular profile provides a practical working surface for steady, efficient grating during both small-batch preparation and repeated kitchen tasks.
Protective Blade Cover Included: The supplied cover shields the grating surface during storage, helping protect both the cutting edges and surrounding kitchen tools.
Dishwasher-Safe Convenience: The grater can be cleaned in the dishwasher, supporting quick sanitation and efficient turnaround in active food preparation environments.
Professional Applications
Ideal for grating hard and semi-hard cheeses, vegetables, chocolate, butter, and other firm ingredients used in garnishing, baking, prep work, and finishing dishes. Its coarse output is well suited to recipes requiring visible texture rather than finely grated or powdered ingredients.
Why Professionals Choose It
The Microplane Elite Coarse Grater combines a durable stainless steel surface with an efficient handheld format that supports quick, repeatable preparation. Its coarse cutting profile, protective cover, and dishwasher-safe construction make it a practical addition to professional kitchens, catering stations, and well-equipped home prep areas.
Care & Maintenance
Rinse the grater promptly after use to prevent food particles from drying on the cutting surface. Clean it by hand with warm water and mild detergent or place it in the dishwasher. Allow it to dry completely before attaching the protective cover, and store it where the grating surface will not contact other utensils.
