Microplane Savor Series Cheese Grater

This grater is designed specifically for fine grating, so it works best with hard cheeses like Parmesan, Pecorino, or aged Gouda. Soft cheeses tend to clog the fine teeth and are better suited for a coarser grater or a box grater.

Yes, the etched stainless steel blades are excellent for zesting lemons, limes, and oranges. The fine teeth create a light, fluffy zest without cutting into the bitter white pith.

The non-slip base is designed to provide stability when you are grating directly onto a cutting board or countertop. It offers a secure grip, though it works best when you apply steady, downward pressure.

While the grater is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it when possible to keep the etched blades sharp for as long as possible. If you do use the dishwasher, place it on the top rack away from other heavy utensils.

The grater comes with a reusable protective cover that snaps over the blade surface. This keeps the teeth sharp and prevents you from accidentally cutting your fingers when reaching into your utensil drawer.
