Mason Jar Grater - Microplane

From woodworking to cooking...

Today, food aficionados around the world know the story: It all started in 1994, when a Canadian housewife made an orange cake. Growing tired of using her old grater, she commandeered one of her husband's favorite carpentry tools. She slid the orange across the blade of the tool and was amazed by the result: thin slices of zest fell from it like snowflakes. It is this discovery of the capabilities of Microplane® woodworking tools, which effortlessly obtain the tiniest orange zests imaginable, that is the basis of the success of Microplane® kitchen graters.

A new complete product line for amateur and professional cooks was born. She received a wonderful welcome. These products have not only earned their permanent place in the kitchens of homes and restaurants around the world, but they have become true must-haves of kitchen graters. Since then, Microplane® graters have stood out from other types of graters thanks to decades of experience and know-how, using a chemical process to create ultra-sharp cutting surfaces. Unlike stamped graters, Microplane® graters effortlessly cut hard or soft foods without tearing or shredding. By inventing this particular manufacturing method, Microplane revolutionized the world of kitchen graters and arouses the enthusiasm of professional and amateur cooks.
