Microplane 48310 Ginger Tool 3in1 Grate Peel Slice Stainless steel / White / Grey

Product Information

I also don’t love how the edges along the back are curled over, so I can’t just swipe down the length of it to remove the ginger clinging to the back. When grating the ginger with the coarse blade, the texture is slightly stronger and is great for smoothies, homemade ginger lemon soda or freshly brewed ginger tea. What remains is, depending on the amount, a unique sharpness in flavor which is a wonderful seasoning for many dishes. The soft touch handle of the Microplane Ginger 3-in-1 Tool provides comfort and control and when not in use the tool has a protective cover included.

This makes it quick and easy to grate and use the juice as well, which I tend to loose if I’m chopping it by hand or grating it on a cheese grater! But in practice, these differences didn't matter: Tasters found ginger of every texture acceptable and very similar when eaten raw (added to soy sauce as a dip for tofu). This product has been classified as essential item by the New Zealand Government and can be purchased and delivered during lockdown. The rasp-like tool features a peeler on the side to quickly remove the peel of knobby, fresh ginger root.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. My experience with this is that the fibrous part mostly remains on the piece I’m grating so only the soft pulp and juice are in the dish. They work as a great option for grating garlic cloves, achieving fine chocolate shavings, or shredding hard cheeses.

So with ceramic graters there’s a risk of using too much ginger in recipes (though admittedly that’s not really a bad thing in my book).These tools encompassed a range of sizes, shapes, materials, and grating styles: Some had rasp-style “etched” holes, some had puckered “stamped” holes punched out by a machine, and others—traditional Japanese oroshigane—had either metal teeth or ceramic nubs.

The slicer works like a miniature Japanese mandoline—an angled blade on the end shaves the ginger into paper thin rounds (or longer planks if you shave it from the side). PRACTICAL KITCHEN MULTI TOOL - This utensil allows you to peel, grate and slice ginger, an ingredient that is usually difficult to work with. Freshly grated ginger is a common component of recipes both sweet and savory, lending its distinctive aroma to cookies, cakes, and chutneys as well as stir-fries, glazes, sauces, and soups. The finer, sharper, closely laid out teeth of the 3-in-1 tool make grating ginger not only easy, but fast.But within a few months those little rectangular teeth become so dull they stop cutting and start mashing. Our two favorites were the fastest, producing 1 tablespoon of puree in just 15 seconds; both had etched holes. Globally recognized, Microplane is the original manufacturer to apply photo-etching technology to graters, an innovative process designed to create ultra-sharp cutting edges.

One inch of ginger was all it took to tell me this is the most superior ginger grating tool out there. We added a little knob on the side of the tool that acts like the back of a spoon to peel ginger easily. The quick and easy way to prepare ginger for cooking, without losing any of its precious flavour, this Ginger Grating Dish will become a firm favourite in your kitchen.

Use the small peeler on the side for peeling off the ginger skin, the grating plate of the Microplane Ginger 3-in-1 tool features 140 tiny ultra sharp blades perfect for grating and capturing all the aromatic flavours and juices of the ginger pulp. A razor-sharp, angled slicing blade towards the bottom of the tool thinly slices ginger with ease and precision, retaining all of the root vegetable’s natural oils and aromas for optimum and full flavour. Measurements: 27,5 cm x 5 cm x 1 cm; Exact grating surface: 9 cm x 2,9 cm (protective cover for the slicing blade included). I use mine regularly, but over the past few months, I've found myself reaching for a new style of Microplane grater: the 3-in-1 ginger tool. Right now I am eying the microplane rasp premium, but we do already have a regular grater at home and I don't cook that often.
