What I’m rating
THE NEW MICROPLANE BOWL GRATER
What it’s good for Making light work of slaws and fuelling my obsession with grated cheese on everything, plus it’s a handy tool for turning cauliflower florets into ‘rice’. You can use it over any 16cm diameter bowl – where it will anchor safely for non-slip grating – or put it at an angle in a larger bowl and let the non-slip end hold it steady. Smaller, neater and much easier to clean than a box grater.
The bonus?
Microplane graters are made with ultra-sharp, long-lasting stainless steel blades so they can cope with any hard veg or fruit – even frozen butter for making flaky pastry.
