Microplane

Microplane is an American brand that has set new global standards for culinary tools. With their exceptionally sharp designs, Microplane has revolutionised how chefs and food enthusiasts grate and prepare ingredients – helping to create flavourful, gourmet-style dishes and bakes.

The brand’s graters are particularly famous worldwide. Unlike traditional graters, where teeth are punched from the metal, Microplane uses a patented photo-etching process that produces ultra-sharp, razor-like edges. The result is clean, effortless cutting where ingredients are finely sliced rather than torn apart.

The story of Microplane began in 1990 when American brothers Richard and Jeff Grace invented The Microplane® rasp. Originally producing woodworking rasps for carpenters, a happy accident in 1994 changed everything: a Canadian home cook, frustrated with her dull grater, borrowed her husband’s rasp – and discovered it was perfect for cooking. Since then, Microplane has developed several ranges, including Classic, Professional and Gourmet, each combining precision, functionality, and timeless design.

The world’s sharpest graters

Microplane is known for its exceptionally sharp graters that make cooking both easier and more precise. Unlike conventional punched graters, Microplane’s photo-etched process creates thousands of razor-sharp edges. The result is a tool that slices ingredients cleanly instead of tearing them, releasing more flavour and aroma.

Whether grating Parmesan, citrus zest, chocolate, garlic, or ginger, you’ll achieve smooth, even results with ease. That’s why Microplane is a staple in both professional kitchens and among passionate home cooks seeking perfection in every detail.

Precision and innovation in every detail

Microplane products are crafted using advanced technology and strict quality control. The blades are manufactured in the USA, while assembly takes place at Microplane’s own facility in Mexico – ensuring the ideal balance of craftsmanship, precision, and performance.

Whether you choose a classic Microplane grater, mandolin, or peeler, you’ll get a tool that stays sharp for longer and delivers consistent results. Ergonomic handles and non-slip designs also make them comfortable and safe to use, even during intensive cooking.
