Microplane 48310 Ginger Tool 3in1 Grate Peel Slice Stainless steel / White / Grey

Product Information

The tool often comes as a rounded ceramic dish with dull teeth in the center or as a flat, stainless-steel device with a handle. The soft touch handle of the Microplane Ginger 3-in-1 Tool provides comfort and control and when not in use the tool has a protective cover included. PRACTICAL KITCHEN MULTI TOOL - This utensil allows you to peel, grate and slice ginger, an ingredient that is usually difficult to work with. It's nothing revolutionary, but if you use it instead of a spoon, you're dirtying one less piece of equipment.

When used with harder ingredients, a fine grater produces powder-like results that pack an intense flavor.With the side scraper on the side peel the ginger quickly and easily without needing a spoon or knife. It’s true that ceramic graters are fantastic at turning fibrous roots like ginger and wasabi into a puree. Once each level of chef had presented their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way. Pitting these tools against our winning rasp-style and box graters, we grated a whopping 6 pounds of ginger.

These devices are also easier to clean than a typical microplane tool, as their flat surface can be easily wiped down, and one's fingers can be used to scrape out any excess ginger. However, when using a ginger grater of the ceramic variety, the circular walls and raised center help separate the ginger fiber (which stays caught on the teeth in the middle) from the juice and purée (which move to the outer edges,) helping you get more ginger for less work. The peeler is situated off the side of the grater and peels away papery skin, just the way a spoon would. What remains is, depending on the amount, a unique sharpness in flavor which is a wonderful seasoning for many dishes.

We have everything for the dedicated and occasional gardener alike, as well as providing great places to visit for a great cup of coffee and much more.

By contrast, the zester-grater (which was also brand-new) left a pile that was definitely more wet and mushy. I also don’t love how the edges along the back are curled over, so I can’t just swipe down the length of it to remove the ginger clinging to the back. A wide panel incorporating Microplane's top-selling fine blade, makes fast work of grating ginger, and a razor-sharp, angled blade towards the bottom of the tool thinly slices ginger with ease and precision. The ultra-sharp, photo- etched , fine blade - made in USA - grates ginger in a spoonable consistency.And one tablespoon of ginger puree has a lot more ginger in it than one tablespoon of fluffy grated ginger bits. Measurements: 27,5 cm x 5 cm x 1 cm; Exact grating surface: 9 cm x 2,9 cm (protective cover for the slicing blade included).

I was able to easily grate 1 inch of ginger in 50 seconds, and since the grater was new and sharp, I didn’t have to push too hard.Many savvy home chefs find themselves turning to Microplane when they need a reliable and sharp tool for their food prep.
