Microplane Gourmet Series Ribbon Grater

The ribbon cut produces wider, flatter shreds rather than the thin, needle-like strands created by a standard zester. It is ideal for creating delicate curls of hard cheese or softening the texture of ingredients like chocolate and vegetables.

While the Gourmet Series Ribbon Grater is specifically optimized for hard cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino, it can handle semi-hard cheeses. For very soft cheeses, you may find the blades clog more easily, so we recommend chilling the cheese first for the best results.

Yes, the blade is crafted using photo-etching technology to achieve an ultra-sharp, surgical-grade edge. We strongly recommend using the included protective cover when storing the tool to prevent accidental cuts and to keep the blade from dulling against other utensils.

The non-slip end is designed to anchor the grater against a cutting board or the rim of a bowl, providing significant stability. While it makes the process much safer and easier, you will still need to hold the handle firmly to maintain control during use.

Yes, the grater is top-rack dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the sharpness of the surgical-grade stainless steel blades over the long term, hand washing with a gentle brush is often preferred.
