Grip grater Microplane 43302 — stainless steel manual grater, 304×63×18 mm

Microplane 43302 Grip grater is a stainless steel manual grater with dimensions 304×63×18 mm designed for fine grating and creating vegetable spirals. The handheld profile allows direct use over bowls or cutting boards. The tool is intended for zesting citrus, grating hard cheeses, chocolate and garlic, and for producing ribbon-like vegetable shreds in home kitchens and professional prep stations.

Advantages

The grater combines a robust stainless steel frame and a photo-etched, razor-sharp stainless steel blade to deliver consistent, fine results with minimal effort. Its handheld form factor gives direct control when grating over containers or work surfaces. The ribbon-style blade produces elongated, fine shreds suitable for garnishes and delicate presentations, and the sharp cutting edges grate citrus zest cleanly without tearing the fruit.

• Shredding chocolate and garlic for baking and seasoning

How to use

Hold the Microplane 43302 Grip grater securely by the handle and position it over a bowl, plate or cutting board. Move the ingredient across the blade with steady, even strokes; apply light to moderate pressure to produce fine, elongated shreds. For citrus zest, grate only the colored outer peel and avoid the bitter white pith. For harder ingredients like cheese or chocolate, use a controlled motion to maintain consistent shavings. Clean the grater after use according to care instructions for stainless steel tools.

Usage recommendations

To preserve blade sharpness and ensure safety, dry the grater thoroughly after washing and store it in a protective sleeve or drawer. Use the grater on flat, stable surfaces and avoid excessive lateral force that could bend the frame. For best results with citrus, hold the fruit at an angle and rotate it to grate only the zest layers.
