Amazon.com Review
This manual grater coarsely grinds cheese, chocolate, or garlic with ease. Originally designed for shaving wood, the patented 18/8 stainless-steel Microplane blade has razor-sharp teeth that make grating effortless and that won't clog. The large 5-by-2-1/2-inch grating surface can handle bigger ingredients, such as fresh coconut, and the matching 18/8 stainless-steel frame and satin-finish offer durable support for the blade. The grater has a non-slip rubber grip just above its head to keep it steady on a tabletop during grating. A plastic safety cover is also included to keep fingers safe and to keep the blade from dulling while in storage. This grater is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. --Cristina Vaamonde

5 out of 5 stars Does what it should   July 11, 2008
The Microplane Course Grater is very much what I expected. It's very sharp and easy to use. It demolishes whatever you decide to grate with it: firm cheese, garlic, ginger, onions, carrots, or even your fingers.


5 out of 5 stars Microplane is best   November 4, 2007
Like all the other Microplane graters I have used, this one is excellent. It works beautifully for very soft cheeses such as fresh mozzarella. I recommend it highly.

When my food processor quit working, I replaced it with a set of Microplane graters (the 35000 series). At the time I placed my order, I didn't know about Microplane's professional graters (the 38000 series). However, after using them, I was so impressed that I sent the 35000 series to my daughter and ordered the professional 38000 series for myself.

I do a lot of cooking, so I know these graters are going to get a lot of use. I'm in no mood to buy another food processor, as I rarely used the one I had and a food processor takes up a lot of valuable kitchen storage space. The Microplane graters, on the other hand, fit neatly inside a drawer and have protective covers on them.

I'm giving the 38000 series graters a 5-star rating because they're better quality than the 35000 series graters and look like they'll last longer. They are very sharp and do an extremely effective job. I especially appreciate the sliding hand guard. I very seriously doubt I'd use a tool as sharp as this without something to protect my hands.

If you cook at all, you'll LOVE this. I purchased it to replace the plastic-framed Microplane grater, which worked beautifully but wasn't durable enough. This version is entirely made of stainless steel, is easy to use and works like a dream. Totally dishwasher safe, unlike the plastic one. One caution: all Microplane graters are VERY sharp. Of course, that's the idea, but you can cut yourself if you don't bear that in mind while using. You will not regret this purchase!

This is the second Microplane grater that I have purchased (actually I purchased the extra coarse version), but the only 1 of the 2 that I would give a 5* rating to. The other grater was from the standard line not the professional line. With many kitchen items there are no significant differences between the two, but in this case it definitely matters!

All Microplane graters use the same basic technology for cutting -- technology which was originally developed for the woodworking industry but that has adapted for exceptional service in the kitchen as well. The razor sharp laser cut grating head will make quick & easy work of cheese grating or citrus zesting (if you have the proper size). I would suggest when choosing a size of grater that you choose 1 size larger as the sizing tends to run on the small size.

Now, what makes the professional so much better? Well, the standard line has 3 major/minor flaws: 1) the easy-grip rubber handle tends to capture water when washed, 2) the plastic molded frame holding the grating surface cracks when washed in the dishwasher, & 3) the head is so incredibly sharp that it must be kept covered, yet there is no easy way to due this except for the original tagboard cover.

The professional version fixes all of these issues. As you can see, the frame and handle are all stainless steel which eliminates issues #1 & #2 and the professional version comes with a nice snap-on plastic cover to protect the sharp head surface. In addition, the rubberized rest on the top of this version can come in very handy.

End result: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
