Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane Fine Grater
Customer Review: GRATE-IFIC
Summary: 5 Stars
Ginger, Garlic and Nutmeg are now my favorite additions to any of my dishes. I put fresh spices and herbs on more dishes than ever thanks to the ease of the micro fine grater! If you have never tried fresh Nutmeg, buy this tool and try it, it's 100 times tastier than that pre-pakaged stuff that sits in your pantry for years! Plus the "whole" Nutmeg lasts along time. Customer Review: Well built - Effortless
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for an electric grater, because my hands get tired very easily and grating had become a real chore. After reading reviews, I decided to give a manual grater one more try. Well, it is a pleasure to use a well-designed tool that delivers what it promises. Grating is effortless, you can produce mounds of grated cheese in no time and without hand fatigue. I bought the attachment for it, and while I have used without it for larger chunks of cheese, I recommand it for smaller pieces. The grater is very sharp (that is what makes so easy to use), and you would not want to grate the tips of your fingers with it! Highly recommended!Customer Review: Simply the best!

I wonder if the viewer who had the grater handle crack in the dishwasher didn't buy a cheap imitation grater. There are many look-alikes that are not the Microplane brand, and I would trust nothing but Microplane. I have washed mine in the dishwasher (although I prefer to quickly clean in the sink right after I use it before stuff gets dry and stuck) and I have never had any of my Microplanes break. I own every type of Microplane and they are amazing. Don't buy a discounted imitation product, when the Microplane will give you years of great use (thus saving you money in the end!)Customer Review: Great until you wash in the dishwasher

I loved this item. I purchased from another discount store, (not Amazon). Works fantastic, nice large size for grating orange peal, or other large items. However, after washing in the dishwasher a few times, the handle cracked, and then broke.Highly recommended if you wash dishes by hand, otherwise stick to the molded handle without the acrylic, (which disintegrated in the dishwasher).
Customer Review: Well worth it!

As you've probably read elsewhere, the Microplane grater was born when a cook discovered how good a carpentry rasp was for zesting. It is indeed a superior tool, well worth the premium price, both in usefulness and in durability (someone I know who cooks all the time is still on her original one, which does NOT have the bells and whistles this one does!) In particular, I now prefer it to my garlic press as it is quick, thorough, and easy to clean. The "pusher attachment" is essential, and will amortize out because you will not stop with just one Microplane once you see how useful it is.
