2 The Microplane story Easy Prep Series Specialty Series Professional Series Gourmet Series Premium Classic Series Artisan Seiries Elite Seiries Home Seiries 2 From woodworking to the kitchen By now, cooking aficionados worldwide are familiar with the story: The big moment came in 1994, when a Canadian housewife was making an orange cake. Out of frustration with her old grater, she commandeered one of her husband s favourite woodworking tools. She slid the orange across its blades and was amazed: Lacy shards of zest fell from its surface like snowflakes. The discovery that the Microplane woodworking tool effortlessly produces the lightest orange zest, laid the foundation for the success of the Microplane kitchen graters. An entirely new product line of graters for home cooks and professional chefs was introduced. The response was extraordinary. It earned them a permanent space in home kitchens and restaurants around the world, and made them a must have kitchen grater. Since that time, Microplane graters have distinguished themselves from other graters through decades of experience developing an expertise in the *patented chemical process used to create ultra sharp cutting edges. Unlike stamped graters, Microplane graters effortlessly cut through hard and soft foods without tearing or shredding. As the inventor of this special manufacturing method, Microplane revolutionized kitchen graters, and found enthusiastic support from professional chefs and domestic cooks.
