Rethinking the box grater, and reminiscent of a Rubik’s Cube, Microplane introduces the new Cube Grater. This compact, space-saving gadget combines three of the most popular Microplane surgical steel blades to create a tool that flawlessly grates both soft and hard ingredients.
To ensure optimum performance, the Cube Grater features three original Microplane(R) made in the U.S.A. blades – Fine, Ribbon and Coarse.
Measuring 3.25 x 3.25-inches in diameter, the Cube Grater comes with a durable, transparent cover that doubles as a catch — with 1 ½ cup capacity and measurement marks on three sides.
The Fine blade is ideal for grating citrus for aromatic, flavor-packed zest, without lifting the bitter pith underneath the peel. The Fine blade also excels at grating aromatics, such as shallots, onions, garlic, ginger, and, and transforming Parmesan cheese into powdery mounds for garnishing pasta and other savory dishes.
The Ribbon blade, which conveniently grates in both directions, is the ideal tool for grating chocolate, apple, soft and hard cheeses, and myriad vegetables for a beautiful salad — such as onion, cabbage and zucchini.
The Coarse blade is the best match for grating medium to hard cheeses, such as Parmesan, Romano and cheddar, as well as grating a wide range of fruits and vegetables, from apples and coconuts, to carrots and potatoes.
The Microplane Cube Grater is set to hit stores in August for a suggested retail price of $19.99. For more information on the Cube Grater and other premium quality kitchen tools from Microplane, visit the company website, or call 800-555-2767.
