Why this grater earns its place
The Microplane Gourmet Ribbon Grater is the one you reach for when you want vegetable texture without a separate tool. Its medium-ribbon surface does the work a mandoline does, but at a fraction of the footprint and risk: carrot ribbons, courgette strands, celeriac slices, anything that needs to look hand-cut and irregular. The ribbon blade is comfortable to work—no sharp angle on your hand, and you control the stroke. But this is truly a seven-in-one grater: the paddle also carries coarse, fine, extra coarse, large shaver, star blade, and ultra coarse surfaces. One tool, seven jobs.
Stainless steel throughout, soft-touch handle with non-slip rubber feet that lock it down so you can work with one hand and keep your other hand free for the veg. The paddle shape matters: proper surface area to the work, stable footprint, and the ergonomics mean you're not fighting the tool by the end of service. Professional chefs and home cooks choose Gourmet Series because design and function actually line up—it looks good and it works hard.
At 300g and fully dishwasher safe, this is the kind of everyday tool that earns its place. The ribbon blade is the star, but those other six surfaces mean you don't need a grater drawer, just this. Fast to dry, easy to store, and built to last through the kind of daily work that wears out lesser tools.
