The Master Series Microplane Extra Course Grater has a long-lasting stainless steel blade that is ultra sharp and made of wood sourced from sustainable American Walnut handle. It has a comfortable, grip handle that is perfect for grating a variety of cheeses, carrots, courgettes, and other vegetables. The grater cuts by wounding rather than crushing the ingredients, resulting in a stable, well-grated result. The Grater can be washed by hand and stored in its protective cover.
