The Microplane Premium Classic Series Spice Grater is ideal for grating spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. The grater blade is made from stainless steel, and the ergonomic soft-touch handle offers a secure grip and a loop for hanging. Use the included protective cover for safe storage of your grater. Microplane uses a chemical process called photo etching to create and sharpen each tooth on every grater. Sharper teeth mean Microplane tools grate food more quickly and efficiently.
