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

Microplane Fine Grater from the Black Sheep Series is a flat, single-piece grater designed for precise, fine grating of citrus zest, hard cheeses, chocolate, nuts and spices. The tool features a photo-etched stainless steel blade with long-lasting sharpness and a matt black finish across handle, frame and blade. Compact dimensions make it easy to position over bowls, plates or pans for finishing and preparation tasks in a home or professional kitchen.

Advantages

The photo-etched stainless steel blade provides ultra-sharp, consistent cutting that produces fine, fluffy results without shredding or tearing food fibers. A PVD coating increases scratch resistance and the non-slip rubber foot improves stability during use. The flat, ergonomic form and compact proportions give controlled handling for delicate tasks such as zesting citrus or creating a light cheese garnish. A reusable protective cover helps protect the blade during storage.

Suitable for

• Zesting citrus fruits for desserts and cocktails

How to use

Hold the grater at a slight angle above a bowl or plate and move the ingredient across the blade using gentle, even strokes. For citrus zest, grate only the colored part of the peel to avoid bitter white pith. When grating hard cheese, apply steady pressure to create fine, airy shavings. Clean the blade carefully by rinsing immediately after use and wiping with a brush or soft cloth; the protective cover should be used for storage. The blade is very sharp — handle with care.

Usage recommendations

Hand wash the grater and protective cover; do not place the grater in a dishwasher to preserve the PVD coating and blade sharpness. Store with the protective cover in place and keep out of reach of children. Use the non-slip rubber foot contact surface on a stable plate or bowl rim for safer operation.
