Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane 38006 Professional Series Large Shaver
Customer Review: The best of the best
Summary: 5 Stars
When my food processor quit working, I replaced it with a set of Microplane graters (the 35000 series). At the time I placed my order, I didn't know about Microplane's professional graters (the 38000 series). However, after using them, I was so impressed that I sent the 35000 series to my daughter and ordered the professional 38000 series for myself.
I do a lot of cooking, so I know these graters are going to get a lot of use. I'm in no mood to buy another food processor, as I rarely used the one I had and a food processor takes up a lot of valuable kitchen storage space. The Microplane graters, on the other hand, fit neatly inside a drawer and have protective covers on them.
I'm giving the 38000 series graters a 5-star rating because they're better quality than the 35000 series graters and look like they'll last longer. They are very sharp and do an extremely effective job. I especially appreciate the sliding hand guard. I very seriously doubt I'd use a tool as sharp as this without something to protect my hands.

I love the Microplane graters, but was very disappointed with the acrylic mounted models; even with careful handling and no dishwasher, they would crack and break within a year. Spend the extra $$ for the professional series with the metal sides! This large shaver is wonderful for grating hard cheeses, like parmesan, or chocolate and it is much easier and safer to use and clean than the ribbon cutter that cuts in both directions. I love this one so much I also give it to friends and family who enjoy cooking.Customer Review: Ahhhh

Finally, a grater that really works! So far I've used it on mozz and cheddar cheese and carrots, and it made quick work of them, and the cheese cleaned right off. Plus it can be soaked for hours without damage, my worst kitchen habit. I have this and the super fine model and these two seem sufficient for 90% of my grating needs. Definitely get the glove or the food holder as the only drawback is grated fingers! Another item I should have treated myself to years ago.Customer Review: Good shaver

I purchased this shaver hoping it would shave nice slices of cheese. It doesn't do that well, as the cheese tends to curl. It should work well, though, to make chocolate shavings/curls. Very sharp and well made, comfortable to hold. Purchased cut-resistant gloves to go with it.Customer Review: Perfect grater!

This is a perfect grater, several classes better than the one with the plastic handle (I had that first, but the handle couldn't bear the force and broke).
This one has no such problems and the rubber anti-slip band helps a lot
