Flat grater Microplane Medium Ribbon Grater Black Sheep Series — stainless steel blade, 68×15×300 mm

Flat grater Microplane Medium Ribbon Grater from the Black Sheep Series is a handheld ribbon-style grater with a stainless steel blade designed for medium shavings. Its compact profile (68 mm × 15 mm × 300 mm) and bi-directional Medium Ribbon blade produce uniform medium-thin ribbons suitable for firm cheeses, chocolate, vegetables and citrus zest. The unit is supplied as a single-piece pack and includes a protective cover; a non-slip rubber foot helps keep the grater stable when used on flat surfaces or over bowls.

Advantages

The photo-etched stainless-steel blade is ultra-sharp and long-lasting, engineered to create precise ribbon-like shavings without tearing or crushing food. The black stainless-steel finish with PVD coating increases scratch resistance and provides a consistent working surface. Design elements such as the non-slip rubber foot and reusable protective cover improve safety and storage convenience while allowing controlled grating for consistent results.

• Grating firm and hard cheeses for salads and garnishes

How to use

Hold the grater with one hand on a flat surface or position it securely over a bowl. Press the food item lightly against the blade and move it back and forth following the blade’s bi-directional profile to produce consistent medium ribbons. For firm cheeses and chocolate, use steady, even strokes; for softer vegetables and citrus zest, use gentler pressure to avoid crushing. After use, remove the protective cover and rinse the grater under warm water, using a brush if needed to clear trapped fibers. The protective cover should be hand-washed and the product should be dried thoroughly before storage.

Usage recommendations

To extend blade life and maintain performance, avoid dishwasher cleaning of the protective cover and dry the grater immediately after washing. Use the non-slip foot on a stable surface and apply moderate pressure to achieve even ribbon shavings without damaging the blade.
