Microplane Kitchen Grater Coarse for Cheese, Carrot, Ginger, Coconut, Nuts and Horseradish with Stainless Steel Blades - Made in USA

My current grater has got so blunt that using it for aged rock-hard Parmesan is a real chore. So I had to find a replacement. I restricted my search to the MICROPLANE brand because I already own their foot grater, which does a fantastic job removing dead skin from my heels. However I did not fancy also using it for cheese!Some other reviewers have complained about the difficulty of removing labels, but mine came off easily; presumably themanufacturer has noted the problem and changed the adhesive.Although it is classified coarse grade, when I tested it on my rock-hard Parmesan it produced perfectly satisfactory cheese to sprinkle on my spaghetti. I also tried it with the Norwegian cheese "Jarlsberg" which is tasty but a bit rubbery in texture. Again the result was perfect for sprinkling.Finally, another point in its favour. It comes with a plastic shield to use for storage. I can put it into my utensils drawer without danger to fingers.

Strong grater

Perfect handheld grater. Its metal construction makes it solid as well as hygienic. Comfortable to hold and easy to clean. Excellevt.

Good to use, easy to use, practcal.I hope mine will not disintegrate too soon at the grip like for the others.(have two more of this product of different density, for about 2 years now, I am hoping for the best)

Best grater ever

Delighted with this purchase. I had the original design for many years, but the moulded plastic casing deteriorated quite quickly, although the grate remained sharp. The new metal surround is more robust.

I thought this was a premium product but when it arrived it was just in a basic shipping bag and looked scratched and dirty like it had already been used. I returned it without trying it. It shouldn't have been shipped in this state. I would also expect this product to include a plastic safety guard which it didn't.

The best one I got!
