- What foods is the Microplane Premium Classic Rosa good for?
- Hard foods: citrus zest, hard cheese such as Parmesan, ginger, garlic, nutmeg and chocolate. The fine blade is not made for soft cheese, cooked vegetables or potatoes.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Yes. Microplane lists it as dishwasher safe, though hand rinsing keeps the blade edge crisp longer.
- How does it compare with a box grater?
- It is sharper and more precise and much easier to clean, but it does fine grating only. A box grater covers coarse shredding and slicing.
- Is it different from the Microplane Classic?
- The Premium Classic adds a soft-touch non-slip handle and a hanging loop. The blade and grating performance are the same.
- How long is it?
- About 12.6 inches long and 3.5 inches wide, with a 1.18-inch height. That is longer than a pocket rasp, so it reaches over a pot easily.
- Does it come with a cover?
- The grater ships as a single piece. Microplane sells blade covers separately if you want one for storage.
- Where is the Microplane Premium Classic Rosa cheapest?
- At Abt Electronics, for $18.99, as of our latest check.
