In 1994, when Lorraine Lee, a homemaker in Ottawa, Canada, was making an Armenian orange cake. Out of frustration with her old grater, she picked up a new tool her husband, Leonard, had brought home from their hardware store, Lee Valley Tools. She slid the orange across its blades and was amazed. Lacy shards of zest fell from its surface like snowflakes. The Lees marveled at the tool, ate the cake, then promptly changed the product description in their catalogue. The Microplane grater had earned permanent space in the kitchen.

10 years later, Microplane introduced its Personal Care Line. The Microplane foot file, with its 95 tiny files working to gently massage and exfoliate dry skin, was created to soothe tired, sore feet and have them feeling silky smooth and full of energy in no time.

No matter the shape: box, flat, or rotary, Microplane's competition around the world are tools that have been made the same for hundreds of years. The cutting edges are formed by punching holes into flat or curved stainless steel or tin. Files are made by grinding a rough edge that works by rubbing and tearing.
Microplane Tools are better because they are sharp yet safe. Try one and expect a Miracle!

All Microplane 35000 Home Series graters are dishwasher-safe and feature surgical-grade stainless steel blades available in five unique blade styles, clear plastic frames and ergonomic handles available in black, empire red or cobalt blue.

Care & Cleaning

We recommend rinsing your grater in wam water immediately after each use.
Remove trapped particles from the non-sharp side whenever possible.
To remove trapped particles on the front, first soak the tool in warm water and then use a cleaning brush to stroke in the same direction as the teeth.
Store with blade covered when not in use.
