- What can I grate with the Microplane Premium Classic?
- It is a fine-blade grater, best for citrus zest, hard cheese like Parmesan, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and chocolate. It is not meant for soft cheese or large volumes of vegetables.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Yes. Microplane lists it as dishwasher safe, though hand washing and drying keeps the blade edge in best shape.
- How does it compare with a box grater?
- It is sharper and produces finer, fluffier shreds, and it is easier to clean. A box grater is faster for bulk cheese and offers coarse and slicing sides this one lacks.
- Does it come with a blade cover?
- The Premium Classic ships as a single grater. A protective cover is sold separately and is worth adding if you store it loose in a drawer.
- Is the handle comfortable for small hands?
- Most owners find the rubberized handle comfortable and secure. The grater is long, so check that it fits your drawer or hanging space.
- Can I use it for soft cheese or butter?
- No. Soft foods clog the fine teeth. Use it for firm, dry foods only.
- Where is the Microplane Premium Classic Green cheapest?
- At Abt Electronics, for $18.99, as of our latest check.
