Award-winning chef-restaurateur Tom Douglas, Microplane, and Amazon.com introduce a line of multi-functional gadgets that will inspire home chefs and build confidence in the kitchen. This fine grater is ideal for zesting all types of citrus peel without lifting the fruit’s bitter-tasting pith. It’s also the perfect gadget for grating a variety of hard spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves, that can add subtle or robust flavors to recipes. The grater features patented, razor-sharp teeth; a durable stainless-steel frame and blade construction; a nonslip rubber end; and a black, ergonomic, soft-touch handle for a comfortable, sure grip. Measuring 12 inches by 3 inches by 1 inch, the gadget is dishwasher-safe and is made in the USA. A plastic blade cover is included. Tom Douglas by Pinzon Microplane Chef Series graters also are available in four other blade styles: coarse grater, extra coarse grater, medium ribbon, and large shaver.

Tom's Tips These tools are magic in the kitchen. Just run this grater over a lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit for perfect zesting without any of the bitter pith. Add zests to spice rubs, sauces, or baked goods for a fresh zing or an extra layer of flavor. Protect your fingers! Use the grater attachment (sold separately) for grating nutmeg or other hard spices on this fine grater. Finely grate chocolate chips for a chocolately dusting on your cakes and pastries.
