xA versatile grater built for busy kitchens
The Microplane Gourmet Series Ultra Coarse Grater blends thoughtful design with practical performance. Its extra-wide 4-inch Ultra Coarse blade features large teeth that glide through ingredients, turning prep time into results you can see and taste. This is the kind of tool that shines when you’re preparing bigger batches for hash browns, coleslaw, or generous cheese portions, helping you move from ingredient to plate with ease.
Real-life cooking moments often demand speed without sacrificing texture. The Ultra Coarse blade excels at shredding both hard and soft cheeses, and it can even help soften butter when you apply a gentle pressure. The result is evenly grated ingredients ready for your favorite recipes, without the fuss of multiple passes or a second tool.

Care, maintenance, and daily use
Designed for practical cleaning and maintenance, this grater supports a straightforward routine that helps keep the blade sharp and ready. The body is top-rack dishwasher safe, while the cover should be hand washed. After use, rinse with warm water and remove trapped particles from the non-sharp side when possible. For the front, a brief soak followed by brushing in the same direction as the teeth helps maintain texture and cleanliness over time.
In everyday cooking moments, you’ll notice the thoughtful design in action: the ergonomic grip reduces fatigue during longer prep sessions, the non-slip base mitigates slips on slick counters, and the sturdy construction handles repeated use with confidence. When you’re finished, the protective cover and a quick wipe-down keep this tool ready for the next recipe—whether you’re crafting a pot of hash browns, a vibrant slaw, or a cheese-forward topping.
