About this deal

It produces consistent grates of parmesan cheese and mozzarella, though we did notice that the back-and-forth motion didn't work as well for zesting citrus. Microplane Rotary Grater - Microplane White Coarse Rotary Grater For Easily Handling With Minimal Effort. Grating Garlic Test: With each grater, we grated three medium cloves of garlic to gauge the resulting texture. I expected to hate the Prepworks by Progressive 5-Piece Grater Set because of its tiny blade inserts, but I actually liked this little guy!

The box should be hand washed, but if it’s only used for storage it shouldn’t need a lot of cleaning. We’ve read a handful of reviews saying that the plastic handle may break off, but several Wirecutter staffers have owned this trusty tool for years without problems.

Carrots: We shredded half a large carrot using the coarse holes of each box grater to see how quickly it grated hard vegetables. That means they can bite into vegetables or cheese with little resistance, and grating requires less force or effort. The model also comes with a protective cover for safe storage and long-term sharpness, as well as an anti-slip interior drawer to catch whatever you're grating (that can sit upright or sideways, depending on your preference).

In testing, we found both the larger holes and slicer were ideal for prepping ingredients like cheese, carrots and courgettes, while the finer side made light work of grating parmesan and ginger. The Microplane 46020 Premium Classic Zester and Grater is razor-sharp, zesting and shredding more efficiently than most other paddle or rasp graters we tested.A Microplane has small, sharp notches that result in finely grated results; they are commonly used for zesting citrus or getting fluffy flecks of hard cheeses, like Parmesan. It didn't prevent us from wanting to use this grater, though, and it certainly didn't present a safety concern. And the fine holes are designed for grating parmesan, zesting lemons, or reducing ginger to a paste.
