Microplane Extra Course Grater Professional Series
For bigger prep and heartier textures, the Microplane Professional Series Extra Coarse Grater is the one to reach for. The ultra-sharp, photo-etched blade (made in the USA) creates long, smooth strips instead of shredding or crushing—perfect for potatoes, apples, cabbage, zucchini, cucumbers, and both soft and hard cheeses. It’s especially useful when you want more structure, whether you’re making hash browns, slaws, or prepping vegetables for roasting.
Crafted entirely from stainless steel, it feels sturdy and balanced in hand, with an ergonomic handle and non-slip feet for added control. The wide grating surface makes quick work of larger tasks, and cleanup is simple—just rinse or place in the dishwasher. A practical, efficient tool for when you need a little more volume and texture.
Why Microplane?
Microplane is one of those brands that quietly changes the way you cook. What started as a woodworking tool made its way into the kitchen, and once you’ve used one, it’s hard to go back. Their blades are incredibly sharp thanks to a unique etching process (not stamping), giving you light, fluffy zest, finely grated cheese, and better results with less effort. We reach for Microplane tools daily because they simply work—from citrus and garlic to spices and hard cheeses, they bring out more flavor and make prep feel easier and more precise. Add in the fact that they’re employee-owned and thoughtfully made, and it’s a brand that feels just as good to support as it does to use.
