Microplane Gourmet Series Cheese Grater (Coarse, Red) – USA-Made & Dishwasher Safe

Microplane Gourmet Series Cheese Grater — Coarse, Red

Designed with durable, surgical-grade stainless steel blades manufactured in the USA, the Gourmet Series grater is built for lasting performance in busy kitchens. Its robust construction and bold red finish blend reliability with style, offering a versatile tool that can handle a variety of everyday tasks without needing multiple devices.

The coarse cheese blade delivers a slightly thicker cut compared to a traditional zester, yielding fluffy, well-distributed shavings that cling to salads, top omelets, or sprinkle over pasta. It’s particularly well-suited for hard or semi-hard cheeses such as Parmesan and Asiago, helping you achieve a balanced garnish that enhances flavor and texture without overloading the dish.

Beyond cheese, this grater shines with hard vegetables and fruits. It creates thin, even slices for carrots and coconuts, adding subtle texture and flavor to baked goods, breads, and cookies. It can also make veggie additions feel approachable for picky eaters by delivering flavor with minimal detectable texture.

Chocolate lovers can enjoy the same coarse blade for dusting treats with fluffy, delicate shavings that elevate desserts, drinks, and toppings with a touch of visual appeal.
