Microplane Elite Five Blade Box Grater with Measuring Cup Base - Black

Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp grater blades. Made in the USA, the tiny, razor-sharp teeth act like finely honed knives, cutting ingredients with precision rather than tearing them. Created as a woodworking tool, the original zester revolutionized grating in 1994, finding enthusiastic support from professional chefs and culinary enthusiasts.

The Microplane Elite Box Grater features five popular blade styles: fine, coarse, ribbon, ultra-coarse, and a large shaver. The fine and coarse blades make quick work of parmesan cheese, zesting, and grinding hard spices, while the coarse blade can be used to grate hard cheese, carrots, chocolate, and coconut. The Largest panel on the front is ideal for grating larger vegetables and fruits like potatoes, cabbage, and apples. The large shaver on the side panel is perfect for small slices of Parmesan, ginger, chocolate, and truffles. The Ribbon blade is an efficient bi-directional blade that effortlessly cuts into softer foods like cheeses, fruits, and vegetables.

The Elite box grater features a built-in measuring cup with a locked-in catch plate and a clear window to see your results as they pile up. The measuring cup has a capacity of 2.5 cups. The surgical-grade stainless steel blades, made in the USA, are designed to withstand years of hard use.

For easy cleaning, the graters (excluding the Master Series) are dishwasher safe. However, to ensure the blades stay sharp as long as possible, it is recommended to wash them by hand. Each product comes equipped with a protective cover for increased longevity and ease of storage. The hand-held paddle graters feature non-slip rubber feet, offering superior stability.

Thanks to the sharpness of the blades, a minimal effort is all it takes for food to glide gently and easily off the blade without needing to apply any pressure. The ergonomic, non-slip handle and the rubberized non-slip base provide comfort and leverage when grating large quantities of ingredients.

In summary, the Microplane Elite Box Grater is a versatile 5-in-1 grating tool that offers a variety of cutting surfaces and textures, with durable construction, easy cleaning, and a convenient built-in measuring cup. Its innovative design and high-quality components make it a must-have for any kitchen, whether you're a professional chef or a home cooking enthusiast.
