Microplane EcoGrate Series Fine Grater: This was another great-performing Microplane model with a wider plane and the ability to swap out blades. Made from start to finish from the highest quality stainless steel in their own dedicated factories, Microplane graters have non-slip bases, protective covers for safe storage, and ergonomic soft-grip handles to give you a really secure hold.
Every tool I own from them performs with precision, allowing me to produce flawless zests and shavings. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the slightly curved grating surface makes it easy to use with oddly shaped chunks of ginger or garlic cloves. These tools aren’t just for professionals either, many savvy home chefs find themselves turning to Microplane when they need a reliable and sharp tool for their food prep. While most manufactures rely on clumsy metal stamping to produce inefficient cutting edges, a microplane grater creates precise razor-sharp teeth utilising a patented chemical etching process.
This multi-purpose extra coarse grater is made of stainless steel with a matt black finish, coated in PVD for a scratch-resistant finish. Whether it is bottarga, cheese, black truffle, or radish, the Microplane always provides you with the right cut. There is no bar or kitchen that is complete without the handleless grater/zester; its simple one-piece design is easily maintained, and perfect for use with citrus, cheese, truffles, and more.

With its broader, razor-sharp grating surface, Microplane Home Series graters offer more room to efficiently get the job done.A microplane fine grater works more easily and more effectively than standard graters, which is why chefs relish having one among their tools. Zesting Citrus Test: We zested two medium-sized lemons to see how long it took to remove all of the zest and whether each grater was capable of removing just the zest or also took off some of the underlying bitter, white pith.

It has a no-slip rubber base that lets you stand it up at an angle over a plate or cutting board as you grate cheese, hard vegetables, fruit, and more into broad yet delicate shreds, ideal for cheese, rosti, coleslaw, and more. It's also worth noting that our top pick, the Microplane Premium Classic Series Zester/Grater, has teeth that wrap around the edges, giving you an all-over useable surface. The Premium Classic Series Zester delivers the fastest and most effective method of grating incredibly fine citrus peel or lacy wisps of even the hardest Parmesan cheese, and makes the finest gratings of ginger, garlic, spices, chocolate, truffles and nuts, perfect for topping your pasta dishes, puddings and salads.
Zyliss SmoothGlide Rasp Grater: This grater didn’t have enough teeth and the bend in the handle made grating lemons awkward and uncomfortable when held upside down. The brand's zester blade grates very finely, producing a soft, ultra-fluffy grating result, full of flavour.
