For Efficient, Effortless, Tidy Grating Results

The latest addition to the Microplane® range of exceptionally sharp and effective culinary tools is the NEW ultra-sharp Microplane® Bowl Grater Fine Blade which easily and efficiently grates hard cheese, citrus fruits, nuts, coconut, chocolate, and spices comfortably and neatly directly into the bowl without ripping or tearing ingredients so that natural aromas are released to enhance flavour.

The Bowl Grater Fine Blade sits comfortably horizontally across the top of a round bowl up to 16cm in diameter or can be placed horizontally inside the bowl. You can also hold the grater at an angle inside the bowl, for safe, comfortable, and quick grating thanks to the two rounded non-slip ends which are perfectly moulded to fit inside the bowl and prevent slippage.

Made in the USA, the sharpness of Microplane’s signature blades is achieved by photo-etched technology which was pioneered by Microplane over 50 years ago. The ultra-sharp, long-lasting stainless-steel blade effortlessly grates the toughest ingredients with precision. Foods are cut without ripping or tearing, releasing the natural aroma. Hard Parmesan is reduced to soft, airy drifts; garlic, ginger and onion are quickly grated to a smooth pulp and chocolate is shaved into incredibly fine clouds, perfect for decorating deserts, cakes and summer ice cream.

This practical and versatile grater is the perfect tool for preparing larger quantities of ingredients for a variety of dishes including citrus zest for an Orange & Chocolate Cake or Lemon Meringue Pie; coconut for a Blueberry & Coconut Pudding; nutmeg and cinnamon for a traditional Baked Rice Pudding and hard cheese for a wide range of pasta recipes. The Microplane Bowl Grater is already available with an extra coarse blade for larger textures, ideal for raw vegetable salads, coleslaws and vegetable gratins. The Bowl Grater Fine Blade and Bowl Grater Extra Coarse Blade are the perfect duo for the kitchen.

Peter Morrell, Editor, comments “I am a long-term fan of Microplane products. Their perpetual sharpness and hardwaring handles and grips mean they give tiptop service for years. I’ve recently been putting the Microplane® Bowl Grater with Fine Blade through its paces, and the results were excellent.

“A couple of examples, making an orange sauce for duck requires just the zest without the underlying pith which is bitter. The Fine Blade captures the zest with all the flavourful essental oils. The second was grating parmesan cheese to melt into a risotto. The fine shreds of cheese disappeared into the creamy rice within seconds. I can see many other applications for this versatile kitchen tool.”

While dishwasher safe, the long-lasting Microplane® Bowl Grater Fine Blade can be cleaned quickly and easily by simply rinsing under the tap.
