Microplane Professional Series Coarse Kitchen Grater — Stainless Steel, Ergonomic Handle & Non-Slip Base (Made in USA)

The Microplane Professional Series Coarse Grater is a heavy-duty, all-stainless-steel tool made in the USA that quickly produces coarse shreds of cheese, vegetables, nuts and roots while resisting wear and breakage.

Built for cooks who want industrial strength with home-kitchen convenience, this redesigned coarse grater from Microplane combines a U.S.-made blade with an ergonomically shaped handle and non-slip base. The all-stainless-steel construction is corrosion-resistant and simplifies cleanup, while the coarse teeth deliver textured shreds ideal for finishing dishes or prepping ingredients. It’s engineered for frequent use in both professional and home kitchens.

How does the coarse blade perform on cheese and firm vegetables?

The coarse grating surface was designed to handle hard and semi-hard cheeses, carrots, and root vegetables without clogging or dulling quickly. Large, evenly spaced teeth cut through fibers cleanly, producing fluffy shreds that melt evenly when heated or add bite to salads and slaws.

• Coarse stainless-steel teeth create uniform shreds for consistent melting and texture.
• U.S.-made blade retains sharpness longer than stamped alternatives.
• Open design reduces clogging from moist ingredients like cheese or zucchini.

Is this grater durable enough for regular kitchen use?

Yes — the Professional Series coarse grater was redesigned to emphasize durability and resistance to breakage, making it suitable for heavy use. The full stainless-steel body resists bending and offers a solid feel, while the precision-ground blade is less prone to damage than thinner, plated options.

• Reinforced stainless-steel frame minimizes flex under pressure.
• Professional-grade blade hardening improves edge life and reliability.
• Non-slip base and ergonomic handle reduce stress on the tool during prolonged tasks.

How easy is it to clean and store this grater?

The stainless-steel construction makes the grater straightforward to rinse or wash; food particles won’t corrode the surface. While it’s dishwasher-safe in most cases, hand-washing with a brush is recommended to preserve the blade edge and remove trapped bits quickly.

• Smooth stainless surfaces resist staining and odors for easier cleaning.
• Dishwasher compatibility for convenient maintenance; hand wash to extend blade life.
• Flat profile and slim shape make it simple to store in a drawer or hang on a rack.

What safety and comfort features does this grater include?

Microplane designed the grater with user comfort and safety in mind, combining an ergonomically shaped handle with a non-slip base to keep the tool steady during use. The handle shape reduces wrist fatigue and the stable footing lowers the chance of slips while grating tougher ingredients.

• Ergonomic handle contours for secure, comfortable grip during repetitive tasks.
• Non-slip base stabilizes the grater on countertops to prevent movement.
• Large coarse teeth reduce the need for excessive pressure, improving safety.

Who is this for? The Microplane Professional Series Coarse Grater is aimed at home cooks who want a professional-grade tool and chefs who need a resilient, high-performance grater. It’s ideal for anyone who frequently grates hard cheeses, roots, nuts or coconut and values durability, easy cleaning, and consistent results. If you need a reliable, heavy-duty grater that holds up to frequent use and delivers uniform coarse shreds, this model is designed to fit into both busy restaurant environments and well-equipped home kitchens.
