The Microplane Gourmet Coarse Grater is a hand-held grating tool designed for professional food preparation. It produces coarse shreds suitable for vegetables such as potatoes and carrots, as well as harder ingredients like cheese and chocolate. The stainless steel blade is photo-etched rather than stamped, which means the cutting edges are genuinely sharp from the outset and stay that way through consistent use.

In a busy prep kitchen, a grater that drags or clogs slows down mise en place and adds unnecessary effort to repetitive tasks. This Microplane cuts cleanly on each pass, reducing the force required and allowing prep cooks to work through volume without the fatigue that comes with lower-quality tools. The coarse shred it produces is consistent in texture, which matters when the finished result is visible on the plate.

  • Sharp stainless steel blade reduces prep effort and speeds throughput
  • Ergonomic soft-touch handle supports comfort during extended prep sessions
  • Non-slip rubber end cap provides stability on flat prep surfaces
  • Paddle design offers a broad grating surface for efficient passes
  • Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning

The grater requires no installation considerations — it is a hand tool that needs only storage space and a place in your cleaning routine. It is dishwasher safe, which keeps it practical in a professional environment where hand-washing every utensil at the end of a long service is rarely realistic.

This grater is well suited to smaller operations, single-section prep stations, and kitchens where hand-grating forms part of regular mise en place. For very high-volume sites producing large quantities of grated ingredients continuously, a table-top drum grater or similar mechanical solution may be a more appropriate option to consider alongside hand tools like this one.

If you are equipping a new kitchen and want to talk through what smallwares and prep tools make practical sense for your setup, we are happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Is this grater suitable for daily use in a professional kitchen?

Yes. The stainless steel blade and dishwasher-safe construction make it practical for daily professional use. It is well suited to kitchens where hand-grating forms a regular part of prep, though for very high-volume continuous grating a mechanical option may be worth considering alongside it.

What ingredients does the coarse grating surface work best with?

The coarse plate is designed for shredding firm vegetables such as potatoes, courgette, and carrots, and works equally well with hard and semi-hard cheeses and chocolate. It is less suited to very soft or wet ingredients, which tend to break down rather than shred cleanly.

How should this grater be cleaned and maintained in a catering environment?

The grater is dishwasher safe, which is the most practical cleaning method in a commercial setting. If hand-washing, a brush rather than a cloth is recommended to clear the blade safely and avoid dulling the cutting edges. No other maintenance is required.
