The Micro plane Elite Series includes a transparent protective cover that doubles as a grating catch feature and measuring cup with a generous 1-cup capacity. Use the stainless steel Micro plane fine blade to create flavourful citrus zest without any of bitter white pith just under the fruit’s peel. It's stellar at grating aromatics, such as shallots, onions, garlic and ginger into a fine paste that melts and blends instantly with other ingredients in a pan, as well as transforming Parmesan and other hard cheese into powdery mounds for garnishing pasta and other savoury dishes. Use a fine grater also for spices, chilies, cinnamon, coconut and chocolate. The result will be a fine powder or paste. The made in USA blade has super sharp teeth to increase its efficiency and cutting the food precisely. It does not rip or tear the food and prevents bruising Aroma and taste are guaranteed. Available in black and red colour. Globally recognized, Micro plane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process specifically designed to create ultra-sharp cutting edges. The blade ensures that food does not stick or block, but instead gently slides along the cutting surface to produce perfect results every time.
