Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane Professional Medium-Ribbon Two-Way Grater
Customer Review: Versatile but the result is not quite "ribbon"
Summary: 4 Stars
The Microplane graters come in different series and there are so many kinds of blades, so you may find it hard to choose one that you need.
About the size, shape, grip and other overall design of the 38000 series, these graters are very well thought out and executed. They are very convenient to use on a bowl, a pan, and a cutting board. They are also very easy to use on the serving dishes in the last steps of presentation.
At the time of this writing, I have used 3 products in 38000 series, plus the slider attachment. I bought different graters so that I can experiment with all sorts of ingredients to make novel garnishes, or something interesting that people wouldn't think of. The manufacturer says this shaver is good for chocolate, soft cheese, and butter, but I was hoping that it would work with vegetables and other things to make pretty flakes. Does it work just as well with other ingredients? Well, sort of. This grater says "ribbon grater" but the actual shape of shaved stuff is not quite "ribbon" with most things I tried: not thick enough and not long enough. But it works with more things than the large shaver, and in this sense I can say this product is more versatile. However, the resulting shape I get from this grater is not as interesting as those I get from large shaver. I don't see as much creative potential in this product as in the large shaver, but it may be just me. It is certainly more interesting than fine zester/grater, since the latter is very predictable in what it does and what you get.
I may try more graters in this series if I get some idea of how I can make use of other blades.
Description of Microplane Professional Medium-Ribbon Two-Way Grater
Save time and grate in both directions with this oversized tool which features a two-way blade. Ideal for grating of soft cheese, butter, chocolate, cabbage and apples. This is a professional style tool designed and built to take lots of use in busy commercial kitchens, so it will certainly stand up to daily work in your kitchen.This manual grater cuts medium-sized ribbons of cheese, butter, or chocolate with ease and, as an additional timesaver, grates in either direction. Originally designed for shaving wood, the patented 18/8 stainless-steel Microplane blade has razor-sharp teeth that make grating effortless and that won't clog. The large 5-by-2-1/2-inch grating surface can accommodate bigger ingredients, such as a head of cabbage for cole slaw, and the matching 18/8 stainless-steel frame and satin-finish offer durable support for the blade. The grater has a non-slip rubber grip just above its head to keep it steady on a tabletop during grating. A plastic safety cover is also included to keep fingers safe and to keep the blade from dulling while in storage. This grater is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. --Cristina Vaamonde
