Grater Microplane 45057 Transparent Plastic 1 pc

The Microplane 45057 Transparent Plastic grater is an attachment designed for efficient, controlled grating in the kitchen. Made from lightweight, transparent plastic, it fits the Microplane Gourmet series and functions as both a container and a guided holder for grating ingredients like cheese, nuts and chocolate directly onto a surface or into the integrated receptacle. The frame acts as a guard rail to protect fingers while ensuring even contact with the blade surface for consistent results.

Advantages

The transparent plastic construction makes it easy to monitor the amount of grated product and keeps the unit lightweight for comfortable handling. The attachment snaps to the Microplane Gourmet grater, providing a secure fit and converting the grater into an enclosed system that reduces mess. The built-in holder and guard rail allow efficient back-and-forth motion over the blade while protecting hands from contact with sharp edges. The design simplifies cleaning and storage compared with bulkier grating setups.

Suitable for

• Grating hard and semi-hard cheeses directly into a container

How to use

Attach the Microplane 45057 to a compatible Microplane Gourmet grater until it snaps into place.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use firm, well-chilled ingredients when grating cheese or chocolate to minimize clogging and to achieve uniform shavings. Clean the attachment promptly after use to prevent residue buildup, and inspect the fit on your Microplane Gourmet grater before each use to ensure secure attachment.
