The Microplane Gourmet Series Large Shaver has an expansive paddle with large and well-spaced edges for shaving coconut, chocolate, hard cheese, garlic and ginger. Also used to make carrot strips, the shaver is a versatile tool that provides wide grated results often found in salads. The stainless steel blades are made in the USA. Ultra-sharp photo etched teeth make fast work out of any grating chore. The Stainless steel frame provides extraordinary durability. The soft touch handle matches back to the premium classic series zesters. The non-skid foot adds stability when grating on counters and plates, and a reusable cover is included for safer storage.
