Microplane 45008 Gourmet Series Extra Coarse Grater with Soft Touch Handle, Black

$21.99

Key Features:

Extra Coarse Blade for High-Volume Prep: Produces thick, wide strands ideal for coleslaws, hashbrowns, and big shreds of soft cheeses like cheddar. Also handles apples, carrots, zucchini, potatoes, and more with ease.
Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Blades Made in the USA: Blades are manufactured at Microplane's facility in Russellville, Arkansas using photo-etching technology that creates ultra-sharp, razor-like teeth that cut rather than tear for clean, consistent results.
Ergonomic TPE Soft-Touch Handle: The non-slip, soft-grip handle provides a secure, comfortable grip during extended prep work, reducing hand fatigue in demanding kitchen environments.
Non-Slip Foot for Stable Operation: A rubberized non-slip foot at the base of the frame keeps the grater firmly in place on countertops during use, preventing slippage and countertop scratching.
Reusable Blade Cover for Safe Storage: Includes a protective cover that shields the ultra-sharp blade when not in use, extending blade life and reducing the risk of injury during storage or transport.
Dishwasher Safe Construction: BPA-free stainless steel construction allows for easy dishwasher cleaning, though hand washing is recommended to maintain long-term blade sharpness.
Hang Loop for Convenient Storage: Integrated hanging loop on the handle allows for easy rack or hook storage, keeping prep stations organized.
Overall Dimensions: 12" L x 2 5/8" W x 1" H with a 5 1/4" grating surface length, providing a practical footprint for professional kitchen use.
