Fine hand grater GOURMET, Microplane

Product detailed description

The fine grater creates a very delicate texture of ingredients that intensify the flavour component of dishes. Ingredients with a higher water content, such as ginger, garlic or fresh chillies, produce a puree-like texture. With the help of this grater, you can easily obtain thin shavings of citrus peel (called zest). The noble aroma of truffles then lifts the delicious homemade pasta with butter and sage. The stable, non-slip end cap improves the use of the grater to the absolute maximum.

Citrus peel - tips:

• For citrus peel, choose citrus fruits that have not been chemically treated
• Wash the fruit thoroughly under cold running water
• Lightly scrub off any grease and dirt with your fingers
• Dry thoroughly
• Place the zester grinder diagonally on the work surface and gently grate the surface citrus peel
• Be careful not to hit the bitter white layer of the skin, which is just below the rind
• Gradually turn the fruit until you get the desired amount of peel
• You can also hold the grater in the air and grate e.g. directly into the bowl with sweet cream
• Use the fine shavings for cooking preferably immediately, while the bark is fresh and aromatic
• Use the fruit without the peel to obtain a delicious juice
• Clean the grater with a sponge under running water
