Microplane Specialty Series Box Grater

The Microplane Box Grater is the ultimate cheese grater. A four-sided rectangular grater, the box has four different cutting sides. One for extra coarse, one for fine, a third for cutting medium ribbons of soft cheeses, and a slicer side for cutting even slices of cheddars and Swiss. The Box Grater is easy to use with a rounded, soft-grip handle at the top. With blades constructed of surgical grade stainless steel and a body of plastic, the grater is well-constructed and safe to use. The grater has rubberized feet at the bottom so it rests stably on the counter as you grate and slice blocks of cheese. The fine or zesting side detaches from the box to act as a hand-held zester when zesting lemons, limes and oranges or for grating hard cheese directly onto salads, breads or soups. Cheese, vegetables, and fruits, the Microplane Box Grater can cut, slice, grate and zest almost anything in the kitchen. You won't find a box grater this great anywhere else. Microplane's graters and zesters have been written up in the New York Times, Washington Post, and most cooking magazines. The unique design (once used in woodworking) has been adapted to the kitchen with fabulous results. Each Microplane tool handles its task effortlessly.
