Blade Guide
Microplane® graters provide professional and home cooks with a wide variety of superior blade styles. The blade styles vary from very fine to extra coarse to satisfy every cooking requirement. Many blade styles can be used on the same foods. It is simply a matter of choice, depending on which grating result is desired. The texture and aroma of the food will change depending on the different blade style creating a different grating result.
Whatever the need though, a Microplane® Grater makes the kitchen task effortless, efficient and a pleasure to work with.

Care & Handling Tips
To guarantee a long life for your blades and to have a safe, efficient, and fun grating experience, we have put together some care and handling tips for your consideration.
Grating with minimal effort without applying pressure
• Due to the sharpness of the blades, food gently slides along the cutting surface to produce perfect results every time, with no effort.
- The sharp and precise edges of the teeth ensure that food does not stick or block.
- There is no need to apply any pressure while grating making the grating job easy and fun and minimizing the risk of getting hurt, by slipping off the blade when applying too much pressure.
