Microplane Black Sheep Series Grater

The Black Sheep Series features a durable PVD coating over the stainless steel frame, which provides a sleek, matte black aesthetic and enhanced scratch resistance compared to standard uncoated models.

While it excels at hard cheeses like Parmesan, Pecorino, or aged Gouda, soft cheeses may clog the teeth. For soft cheeses, we recommend chilling them in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before grating to achieve cleaner results.

Yes, the grater is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the sharpness of the photo-etched blade and the integrity of the matte black finish over time, hand washing with warm, soapy water is generally recommended.

Yes, the rubberized foot provides significant stability, allowing you to grate directly over a bowl or cutting board without the tool sliding around. It is particularly helpful when you need to apply firm pressure for harder ingredients.

The grater comes with a reusable protective cover, which you should use whenever the tool is not in use. This prevents the ultra-sharp teeth from dulling against other utensils in your drawer and protects your fingers when reaching for it.
