Don't Try This With Your Coarse Micro Plane

In summary, a coarse micro plane is a kitchen tool used for grating and shredding ingredients such as cheese, vegetables, and citrus zest. It has ultra-sharp blades that should not be used for grating hard spices or shaving chocolate blocks, as this can damage the blades and potentially cause injury. However, it can be safely used for grating garlic, ginger, and hard cheeses if caution is taken and the proper techniques are used. To clean and maintain a coarse micro plane, it is recommended to hand wash it immediately after use and store it in a safe place. It should only be used on food and not on non-food items to maintain its effectiveness.

So I was grating cheddar cheese for our tacos and the block of cheese broke. Now I have 2 holes the size of the grater bumps! Man does it hurt! No I wasn't using the food holder. I put the rest of the pieces in my old style favorite cheese grater and finished it. Ouch! :thumbdown::cry:
 
:( Sorry!
 
Wow! Sorry that happened- hope you're a quick healer!
