Our take on the Microplane Premium Classic Black

The Microplane Premium Classic is a long hand-held rasp grater with a plastic handle and a 12.8-inch body. Its etched stainless steel blade cuts in one direction, which is why cooks use it for hard cheese, citrus zest, garlic, ginger and nutmeg. It is dishwasher safe and has a hanging loop. Compared with box graters it is faster on zest and fine cheese but not built for bulk shredding, and it is the model most often recommended as the standard rasp.

Questions and answers

What can I grate with it?
Citrus zest, hard cheese such as Parmesan, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and chocolate. It is not meant for soft cheese or large amounts of shredded cabbage or potato.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Yes. Microplane lists it as dishwasher safe, though rinsing it right after use keeps the blade clear.
How is it different from a box grater?
It is a single fine rasp rather than four surfaces. It is faster and cleaner for zest and hard cheese but slower for bulk shredding.
Does it come with a blade cover?
The Premium Classic is sold as a single grater. Check the listing for whether a cover is included, since Microplane sells covers separately.
Is it good for left-handed users?
The blade cuts in one direction, so left-handed cooks grate away from the body. It works, but the motion feels less natural than for right-handed users.
Where is the Microplane Premium Classic Black cheapest?
At Abt Electronics, for $18.99, as of our latest check.
