Product Description

This is a professional style tool designed and built to take lots of use in busy commercial kitchens, so it will certainly stand up to daily work in your kitchen.
Amazon.com Review
The generous 2-1/2-by-5-inch cutting surface of Microplane's durable extra course grater provides ample room for rapidly generating grated foods. Appropriate for soft or hard cheeses, create Mozzarella-covered pizza or Parmesan garnish from a single tool. Keeping fingers at a safe distance, hold shaver at an angle and run food in a downward motion over the grating plane. 35 razor-sharp blades, staggered on the arched cutting surface, cut effortlessly and resist clogging for continuous grating. A band of rubber encircling the bottom edge prevents slipping and provides stability. The stainless-steel handle features rounded edges for a comfortable hold, and finishes with a small metal loop to simplify storage. Measuring 13-1/2 by 3 by 1 inches, this tool carries a polished shine and is dishwasher-safe. To protect against dulling, cover cutting surface with accompanying plastic blade guard when not in use. --Amy Arnold

Top of the Line January 7, 2009
Incredibly sharp. The rubber base secures well and feels very natural while grating. Clean-up is a snap with very few places for debris to accumulate. The cover is a great feature for easy storage in a drawer. I am so glad I chose to give this grater a try.
I've used standard off the shelf box graters before and I finally got sick of them always losing their rubber bases or breaking where they were sealed together. Not to mention the clean-up on a box grater is always a bit of a chore. Storage on box graters also suck as they just take up too much room.
Microplane is a quality product and their Professional line has everything you want in a grater. What more could you ask for?
Grater December 16, 2008
This grater is just what I was looking for, perfect size and the quality is excellent.
Get this Professional version! September 6, 2008
These Microplane graters are wonderful, and I only recommend the Professional versions. If you use your graters a lot, the plastic edges of the cheaper versions will eventually break, so spend the extra few dollars and get this steel edged Professional version to start with. I just replaced two plastic edged graters myself because they broke within nine months.
Microplane is best. November 4, 2007
This is an excellent grater, like all my other Microplane graters. I will never use any other brand. I use it for soft cheeses, like fresh mozzarella, when I make pizza and risotto with basil and cheese.

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.
