allisonserna said:it works, but because the cheese being softer than parmesan the cheese doesn't come out as well, you are better off using the cheese grater for softer cheeses.

Be careful if you have long fingernails, it's extremely hard to "open" the handle! If my nails are just a bit too long, I find it impossible to press the button to move the handle.
There are several types of Microplane graters, including fine, medium, and coarse graters, as well as zesters and ribbon graters. Each type is designed for specific tasks, such as grating hard cheeses, zesting citrus fruits, and creating thin ribbons of vegetables.
Microplane graters are known for their sharp and precise blades, which make grating and zesting tasks easier and more efficient. They are also durable and long-lasting, and can be used for a variety of ingredients, including hard cheeses, chocolate, and spices.
One potential downside of using a Microplane grater is that the sharp blades can be dangerous if not used properly. It's important to always use caution and keep fingers away from the blades while grating. Additionally, some users may find that the graters are difficult to clean due to their tiny blades.
To clean a Microplane grater, it is recommended to first rinse it under hot water to remove any larger particles. Then, use a small brush or toothbrush to remove any remaining food stuck in between the blades. For tougher stains, a small amount of dish soap can be used. To maintain the sharpness of the blades, it is important to store the grater in a protective cover or sleeve.
Yes, Microplane graters are versatile and can be used for a variety of tasks, such as grating chocolate or hard spices, shredding vegetables, and even creating fine breadcrumbs. However, it is important to note that using the grater for non-food items, such as soap or wax, can dull the blades and affect its performance.
