Microplane Gourmet Series Graters - Sleek and ultra sharp - with the launch of the Microplane gourmet series, the original paddle-style grater was enhanced in design and function with both the professional chef and home cook in mind. Handsomely crafted, the high performance Mircoplane gourmet series features seven grating options: Fine, Coarse, Medium Ribbon, Extra Coarse, Star, Small Shaver, Large Shaver and Wide Ultra Coarse Grater. In addition to the multiple sides, graters also come in two styles: stamped and etched. The stamped models represent the tools of our childhood, with rigid grating surfaces stamped into stainless steel. These holes protrude out from the side of the grater, catching food in their wide holes and forcing them over the cutting surface. They’re generally very efficient on the coarse side and horribly annoying on the fine side. Etched graters, on the other hand, are created by using a chemical process that corrodes teeth into the side of thin metal. It creates a tiny opening that’s just large enough to grab onto your food, making it ideal for fine grating. The metal used for these types is thinner, though, so they will flex in and out when being used with heavy-duty foods. What's the Difference Between a Grater and a Mandolin Slicer?

Graters, and Zesters of 2023 The Best Microplanes, Rasp-Style Graters, and Zesters of 2023

The sturdy stainless steel frame comes with ergonomic soft-touch handle for a secure grip and non- slip rubber feet to ensure stability on the work surface. Deiss PRO Stainless Steel Grater: This was a good grater with a nice, soft, grippy handle. It had a little extra tooth and bite in the blade, but the extra length of the grater made it feel slightly off-balance in hand. It's sharp and works fast. The sturdy metal surface doesn't flex even under a lot of pressure. It could zest better, but otherwise it's aces.IC Integrity Chef Pro Citrus Zester: This rasp-style grater looked and felt similar to the Zulay grater but with slightly fewer teeth. It still had a lot of friction and needed more effort and care when grating, though. Freshly Ground Spices Test: We grated two grams of nutmeg to see how coarse the resulting grated nutmeg was. We also evaluated whether grating a hard product like nutmeg dulled each grater's teeth.

KitchenAid's four-sided box grater includes a container for catching food while you work. The finest grate size gives less-than-ideal results, though. Microplane Rotary Grater - Microplane White Coarse Rotary Grater For Easily Handling With Minimal Effort.It is a sleek, slim space saving 5-in-1 grating tool. Five different, ultra-sharp, photo- etched blades - made in USA –in a traditional four-sided design, allows you a diverse range of grating options. You might only use your grater for cheese, but they’re actually incredibly helpful tools. The coarse holes are perfect for taking down everyone’s favorite melting food, but they're also useful for grating carrots for cake or coleslaw, as well as potatoes for latkes and hash browns. The medium-sized holes work the same way as the coarse ones, just with a smaller shred. And the fine holes are designed for grating parmesan, zesting lemons, or reducing ginger to a paste. While I admit that I almost never use the slicing side, it's available for making uniform slices of cheese for appetizer platters or vegetables for gratin dishes if you don't have a mandolin slicer. I’ve been using a Microplane rasp-style grater for zesting lemons and grating nutmeg for years, so it didn’t surprise me when the Microplane 4-Sided Stainless Steel Multi-Purpose Box Grater performed like a champ. Unlike traditional stamped-style models, the blades for this grater are etched into the metal using a chemical process that creates super-sharp edges. That allowed this grater to perform above-average on all four sides. The fine holes resulted in beautifully zested lemons and a pile of airy, fluffy Parmesan, whereas the coarse holes gave us long strands of mozzarella and potato shreds that made the best latkes in the group. For added convenience, a removable bottom tray both catches grated ingredients and is useful to add them directly to the pan or mixing bowl. The ribbon blade is ideal for chocolate, onions, zucchini, apples, cheese, potatoes, carrots and more.
