Microplane is offering a selection of professional kitchen essentials which will make preparing your favourite recipes not only easier and quicker, but also add a dash of chef-style panache to the finished dishes.

The balanced, Y-shaped design of the new Microplane XL Peeler, with non-slip handle, has an extremely sharp blade that is longer than traditional peelers, so you can effortlessly peel thicker skinned fruit and veg such as sweet potato, papaya and mango. It’s also great for preparing Parmesan shavings, cabbage, courgette and carrot ribbons.

The ultra-sharp Microplane Bowl Grater Fine Blade - particularly handy when you need to prep large quantities - quickly and easily grates hard cheese, citrus fruits, nuts, coconut and spices directly into the bowl without ripping or tearing so that the natural aromas are released to enhance flavour. The Fine Blade grater sits horizontally across the top of the bowl, or, thanks to the two rounded non-slip ends, you can hold the grater at an angle inside the bowl for safe, comfortable, grating.

Lastly, the award-winning Microplane Premium Classic Zester, sporting a new funky handle.  The unique photo-etching process creates 400 ultra-sharp cutting edges which make light work of grating anything where you want a fine result. With no pressure,  fruit, veg, chocolate and spices slide quickly and easily from the blades without tearing, shredding or blocking.

Microplane graters with the ultra-sharp, signature blades - made in the USA, is used, and loved, by professional chefs, TV presenters and home cooks around the world.
