Microplane

Microplane® began in the early 1990s and very quickly became the premier brand worldwide for exceptionally sharp culinary tools. Most famous for their graters and zesters, the brand has revolutionized the way chefs and home cooks grate and zest a wide range of ingredients for flavourful, gourmet style cooking and baking. The family-owned and managed company designs and crafts 40+ Microplane kitchen tools.

Most graters on the market use a stamped metal process. In this process, the teeth are made the same thickness as the rest of the blade. As a result, stamped blades are dull. Microplane utilizes a chemical process called photoetching that defines and sharpens the edge of each tooth on the grater. The result is a much sharper tooth, and long-lasting, ultra-sharp stainless-steel blades, giving you a more precise result with far less effort.
