Microplane Fine Julienne Grater for Carrot, Radish, Zucchini, Potato, Apple and Beet Root with Stainless Steel Blade - Made in USA

Product Information

Slice the halves down the middle lengthwise. Take your carrot halves and use your knife to cut them each down the middle lengthwise. Be careful to curl your fingertips out of the way because the round shape of the carrot means it may move as you’re cutting. Wash the carrots. When you get the carrots home from the grocery store or farmer’s market, they may still have dirt and bacteria on their skins. To prepare them for julienning, rinse them under cool water and scrub them with a vegetable brush under the running water. [5] X Research source In testing, we liked that we had a choice of cutting or grating with the inserts in the holder, or holding them up at a steeper angle, like a mandoline. The smallest grater wasn’t as small as some of the graters we tested, but worked well for both cheese and zesting. The larger grating surface also worked well. The julienne blade made small thin slices that were smaller than a traditional julienne cut, but worked well. The slicer was one of our favorites, slicing both carrots and zucchini with ease. Chop the carrot in half. A whole carrot is usually too cumbersome to julienne, so it helps to cut your carrots into smaller pieces. Use a sharp chef’s knife to slice the carrot in half horizontally. The grater is dishwasher safe, and we ran it though the dishwasher multiple times during testing. The box should be hand washed, but if it’s only used for storage it shouldn’t need a lot of cleaning.

In testing, this managed to grate parmesan, but it wasn’t as easy as some others. However, it did a fine job with our softer Colby cheese. Slicing carrots wasn’t particularly effective, but it did a fine job slicing zucchini. We wouldn’t use this for zesting citrus unless we had no other options. Although the Cuisipro is among the most expensive options on this list, it also boasts the best design. First of all, it’s what’s called an etched grater (as opposed to a stamped one). Though etched are pricier, they result in sharper, more precise tools. Plus, the Cuisipro graters exclusively have what’s called Surface Glide Technology, which reduces friction and increases the surface area of each blade, meaning each stroke results in more grated cheese, veggies, or whatever else you happen to be working with. The Microplane Gourmet Series retains the clog-resistant stainless steel blade of all Microplane graters, but with the addition of an angled, non-slip bar at the table end, improving leverage when grating. This also did a good job with our hard and soft cheeses. While it was able to slice both carrots and zucchini, it wasn’t as good as some others we tested, making some rough cuts along the way. Still, if we had the grater out and didn’t want to grab a knife, it would be handy. While the silicone bumper at the base helps keep the grater stable, we noticed that it trapped bits of cheese, which made it more difficult to clean (it's not dishwasher safe). If your carrot keeps moving as you're trying to cut, you may want to slice a small piece off on one side to create a flat surface to steady it.Cleaning Electricals - Steam Cleaners - Vacuums & Sweepers - Hard Floor Cleaners & Polishers - Carpet Cleaners All Offers Kitchenware Offers Homeware Offers Outdoor Living Offers Clearance Dry:Soon Heated Airer Bundles Spend more, save more on selected knives If a carrot is particularly long, you may want to cut it into three or four pieces. You’ll have the easiest time julienning pieces that are approximately 3- to 4-inches (8 to 10 cm) long or smaller.

We recommend the Cuisipro 4-Sided Boxed Grater for its unbeatable efficiency, but those on a budget should consider the IKEA IDEALISK, which gets the job done at a low price. How We Tested

Looking to make some nachos or mac and cheese? What about some grilled cheese sandwiches? Whatever cozy, warming recipes you’re looking to whip up, cheese can almost certainly improve them. And, while you can buy pre-shredded cheese, of course, it’s generally fresher and tastier if you grate your own.

With it, you can zest or shred finely (great for garlic cloves and cheese to top pasta with); slice fruit and veggies such as apples, cucumbers, potatoes, etc.; and do medium or coarse shreds. Some of this, of course, could also be accomplished with some pro-level knife skills, but if you’d rather have a grater do the work for you, this is an excellent option. It also comes with a rubber handle and rubber base and is technically dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended if you have the time. In testing, we ran it through the dishwasher multiple times with no ill effects. Microplane graters feature photo-etched blade technology, ensuring effortless grating for superior results, cutting foods precisely without ripping or shredding
