Is the Microplane grater dishwasher safe?

What materials are used in the Microplane grater?

Can I use the grater for soft cheeses?

Why is the Microplane grater better than other graters?

Can I grate vegetables with this tool?

Troubleshooting

Grater seems dull or ineffective.

Ensure the blade is clean and free of any food particles. The blade should not need to be sharpened, if the grater is still ineffective then it is time to replace it.

Difficulty zesting citrus fruits.

Ensure the citrus fruit is firm and not overripe. Apply gentle pressure and move the grater in a back-and-forth motion, avoiding pressing too hard to prevent bitterness from the pith.
