The paddle-shaped Gourmet Series was enhanced in design and function to appeal to both amateur and professional chefs. The non-slip rubber ends offer added stability and the soft-grip handles make handling the Gourmet Series much more pleasant. In addition to seven grating options, the series includes medium-ribbon coarseness, large-shaver coarseness, extra-coarse coarseness, star blade coarseness, and ultra-coarse coarseness.

Thin, long slices of fruit and vegetables are cut with a razor-sharp stainless steel blade. You can slice vegetables cleanly and evenly with this knife. The handle is soft-touch and comfortable to hold. The foot is non-slip so it does not slip.

The professional Juliennehobel complements the Gourmet series of Microplane's graters, which have eight separate blades. Running water is often enough to clean the Juliennehobel. It is dishwasher safe. The blades on this knife are durable and razor-sharp, produced in America.

The handle is ergonomically shaped and pleasantly soft to hold. It has scratch-resistant plastic feet. This grater can be put away in a reusable pouch when not in use.
