Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Microplane 40021 Classic Medium Ribbon Two-Way Grater
Customer Review: Excellent for larger shreds/curls of parmesan or chocolate
Summary: 5 Stars
This microplane is used primarily for Parmesan and Chocolate in my kitchen.
If you are making a salad, or finishing a cold vegetable dish the standard microplane makes cheese shreds that are very fine, in my opinion too fine. I prefer to have a larger size shred on my cold dishes. This grater is perfect for that application.
For cold chocolate desserts this tool is also very handy. I like to have larger pieces of chocolate shavings on the top of my cold chocolate desserts (tiramisu and chocolate mousse). When you warm the edge of the large chocolate bar with the palm of your hand for 10 to 15 seconds this tool gives a nice size curl of chocolate.
If you find the fine shreds from a standard microplane too small for some applications give this tool a try. It doesn't get used every day in my kitchen, but when I need it, I am glad it is available. I highly recommend this tool to people that are concerned about presentation.
Description of Microplane 40021 Classic Medium Ribbon Two-Way Grater
This Microplane medium ribbon grater is perfect for grating semi-hard cheeses, butter, chocolate, cabbage and applesEquipped with 36 double-sided blades, this two-way grater generates twice the output without clogging. Constructed of polished stainless steel, the long slender cutting surface measures 8 by 1 inches, and produces medium-sized ribbons from its 3/8-inch blade openings. Perfect for semi-hard cheeses and chocolate, Microplane?s tool works equally well grating pie-crust butter or shredding coleslaw cabbage. The handle, constructed of durable black plastic, contours to the hand for a comfortable hold, and features an open loop providing the option of hanging storage. To prevent dulling when not in use, cover with the accompanying clear plastic blade guard--simply squeeze to slightly curl guard towards its center and slide over grater blade. This dishwasher-safe kitchen tool measures 12-3/4 by 1-1/2 by 1-1/4 inches. --Amy Arnold
