Microplane Gourmet Series Ultra Coarse Grater

At 4 inches wide, the blade on the Microplane Gourmet Series Ultra Coarse Grater is broader than standard paddle graters, which makes it the one to use for large batches. A sack of potatoes for latkes or a head of cabbage for slaw goes much faster across this blade.

The ultra coarse teeth cut potatoes, zucchini, cabbage, apple, pumpkin and carrots into wide shreds, and they grate both hard and soft cheese. It also softens butter quickly for baking. Grate cold butter across the blade and it comes to room temperature in minutes.

Cauliflower rice is another good use. Break the head into large florets and grate them down to the stem on this blade for even, rice-sized pieces.

The Microplane Food Guard does not fit this grater. For a standard-width blade with large holes, see the Gourmet Series Extra Coarse Grater. The Details compare every Microplane grater we carry.
