Microplane Gourmet Series Ribbon Grater

A ribbon blade cuts on both the push and the pull stroke, turning food into short, curled ribbons. The Microplane Gourmet Series Ribbon Grater makes chocolate curls for a cake, ribbons of zucchini for zucchini bread and fine shreds of cold butter for pastry.

Pull the food back and forth across the blade and let the teeth do the work. The ribbon texture holds together in baking and cooking better than a fine grate, and it melts evenly when the cheese goes on a pizza or into a sauce.

Grated frozen butter is a strong reason for a baker to own one. Shredded straight from the freezer into flour, it gives flaky scones and biscuits without a pastry cutter. Apples, cabbage, carrots, chilies and onions grate well too, along with hard and soft cheese.

For the finest texture, see the Gourmet Series Fine Grater. The Details compare every Microplane grater we carry.
