The four sides include an ultra-coarse side for shredding vegetables or soft cheeses, a fine/zester side for citrus zest and hard spices, a medium ribbon side for semi-hard cheeses, and a slicer side for creating uniform slices of fruits and vegetables.

Yes. Microplane is famous for its patented photo-etched blade technology, which creates razor-sharp cutting edges rather than stamped metal holes. This allows the grater to slice through ingredients cleanly without tearing or crushing them.

Yes, it includes a convenient collection container that fits snugly at the base of the grater. This helps keep your workspace clean and makes it easy to measure or transfer your ingredients directly into a bowl or pan.

While the stainless steel construction is durable, hand washing is highly recommended to maintain the sharpness of the blades over time. Dishwashers can dull the fine edges of the photo-etched teeth.

Absolutely. Because the blades are so sharp, it handles soft ingredients like chocolate or mozzarella very well. For the best results with soft cheese, chill it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before grating to prevent it from clumping.
