Box grater Microplane 34006 — stainless steel blades, plastic body, 114.3×79.4×269.9 mm

The Microplane 34006 box grater is a four-sided kitchen tool with stainless steel cutting surfaces and a black plastic body, sized 114.3×79.4×269.9 mm. It combines an Ultra Coarse blade, a Fine/Zester blade, a Ribbon blade and a Slicer blade into a single compact unit designed for grating, shredding and slicing vegetables, cheese, citrus zest and chocolate. The upright box form offers stable handling and multiple cutting options for everyday kitchen tasks.

Advantages

The grater’s stainless steel blades are designed to produce consistent results across different textures, from fine citrus zest to coarse shreds for coleslaw. A four-sided design replaces multiple individual tools, saving storage space and simplifying meal preparation. The plastic body keeps the overall weight low while providing a secure frame for the cutting surfaces. The dimensions make it suitable for standard kitchen counters and storage areas.

How to use

Place the grater on a stable, flat surface or hold it upright over a bowl or cutting board. Select the side with the blade appropriate for the task: use the Fine/Zester for citrus and hard cheeses, the Ultra Coarse for larger shreds, the Ribbon for soft cheeses and vegetables, and the Slicer for medium-thick slices. Move the food item across the blade with steady pressure and controlled strokes, keeping fingers clear of the cutting surface. For larger blocks, work from top to bottom; for thin items such as zucchini or cucumber, use short, gentle passes to avoid twisting the food.

Usage recommendations

Rinse the grater in warm water immediately after use to prevent residue from drying on the blades. Hand washing is recommended for thorough cleaning; if using a dishwasher, place the grater securely to avoid contact with other items. To remove trapped particles, soak briefly in warm water and use a brush stroking in the same direction as the teeth. Store the grater with the blades covered or in a safe place to protect both the blades and hands.
