Microplane Black Sheep Lama with large handle bowls is a handheld grater designed for precise and efficient food preparation. The model is engineered to deliver fine, consistent grating for finishing tasks in cooking and baking while providing an ergonomic grip for comfortable everyday use. Constructed with sharp, stainless steel blades and a widened handle area, this grater aims to combine control and performance for home kitchens and professional use.

Advantages

The grater produces uniform, fine shavings ideal for finishing dishes, garnishes and incorporating zest or spices without crushing. The large handle bowls improve stability and hand comfort, reducing slippage during use and allowing more controlled pressure. Durable stainless steel blades resist corrosion and maintain sharpness for extended use, while the compact handheld design simplifies storage and cleaning.

• Grating hard and semi-hard cheeses such as Parmesan for finishing pasta and salads
• Zesting citrus fruits for sauces, desserts and cocktails
• Finely grating whole spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon

• Preparing small amounts of garlic or ginger for dressings and marinades

Key specifications

• Handheld rasp-style grater with fine microplane teeth for consistent shavings
• Ergonomic wide handle bowls for improved grip and control
• Stainless steel cutting surface designed for corrosion resistance and long-lasting sharpness
• Compact footprint for easy storage in kitchen drawers or utensil holders

How to use

Hold the grater by the large handle bowls with one hand and support the ingredient with the other. Position the food at a shallow angle against the microplane teeth and move it across the surface with steady, even strokes to create fine shavings. Apply gentle, consistent pressure; avoid forcing very soft items to prevent clogging the teeth. After use, rinse immediately under running water or use a brush to remove residues before drying thoroughly.

Usage recommendations

For best results, grate cold, firm cheeses and firm spices; warm or soft foods can be chilled briefly to improve texture before grating. Clean the grater promptly after each use to maintain blade performance and hygiene. Store in a drawer or protective sleeve to keep the cutting surface undamaged.
