The Microplane Professional 2.0 Large Shaver is closer to a precision slicer than a regular grater. Five elongated blades spaced at equal intervals create wide and extremely thin shavings with each stroke. You can garnish carpaccio, pasta or Caesar salad with Parmesan, prepare delicate curls for desserts with chocolate, and you can also process butter, zucchini or other suitable ingredients in a similar way. The regular result helps not only to season the food, but also to serve it professionally. The blade cuts the ingredients cleanly, so excessive pressure is not needed to create light shavings.
The Large Shaver belongs to the innovative Professional 2.0 series with a durable all-stainless steel construction and a modern square handle. The matte chrome finish has a restrained effect and the ergonomic shape ensures comfortable guidance of the tool. The non-slip rubber end increases stability when leaning against the work surface, while the hole in the handle offers the possibility of hanging it. The photo-etched stainless steel blade is made in the USA. Simply rinse it off as soon as possible after use; any residue can be gently removed with a soft brush. The grater is dishwasher safe, but the manufacturer recommends hand washing as a gentler way to care for the blade. A reusable cover is included for safe storage.

About the manufacturer:
The American brand Microplane has a long tradition in the field of carpentry with its high-quality rasps. The big breakthrough came in 1994. The old grater of a Canadian housewife reached the end of its service life while preparing an orange cake, so she reached for a carpenter's rasp from her husband's workshop. The orange peel was transformed into fine, perfect strips in an instant. And so the foundations were laid for the future success of the Microplane brand in the kitchen. It didn't take long to come - within five years, The New York Times wrote about the graters' growing popularity among leading chefs. Within three years, a line of Microplane graters was created, designed for professional kitchens.
