Flat grater Microplane Extra Coarse (Black Sheep Series) — stainless steel blade, 68×15×300 mm

Microplane Extra Coarse Flat Grater from the Black Sheep Series features an extra-coarse stainless steel blade designed to produce thick, coarse shreds. With compact dimensions of 68×15×300 mm, this flat hand grater is intended for kitchen prep and finishing tasks that require robust texture, such as coarse-grating hard cheeses, chocolate, firm vegetables and nuts. The single-piece pack and stainless steel blade provide a straightforward tool for portioned grating and quick surface work.

Advantages

The extra-coarse stainless steel blade creates consistent, thick strands suitable for au gratin toppings and bold-texture applications. Its compact flat design and precise cutting pattern allow controlled grating over bowls, plates or pans. Constructed with stainless steel cutting surfaces, the grater resists corrosion from food acids and is easy to rinse after use. The dimensions make it practical for handheld use and for storing in a drawer or utensil rack.

Suitable for

• Hard cheeses such as cheddar and pecorino for coarse toppings
• Chocolate shavings for rustic dessert finishes
• Firm fruits and vegetables like apples, cabbage and potatoes
• Nuts when a coarse texture is required for salads and garnishes

How to use

Hold the grater steady with one hand and the food item with the other, moving the food across the blade in a controlled motion to produce coarse shreds. For safety and consistent results, apply even pressure and grate along the length of the blade.

After use, rinse under running water to remove residues and allow to dry before storage.

Usage recommendations

Use the Microplane Extra Coarse grater for coarse textures where volume and bold strands are desired. Avoid grating extremely soft or overly wet items that may clog the blade. For safer handling, use a protective holder or a cut-resistant glove when grating small pieces.
