Description of Microplane 48060 Spice Grater Black

Spice grater; use the technology of Microplane photoetched blades, that are made in the USA to grind cinnamon and grate nutmeg as a flavor boost to your favorite drink or dish. Spice saver: A convenient airtight compartment sits at the top of the Mill, just unscrew the lid and put your unused or partially used whole spices into this large onboard container. Twist to grind: our original grate and shake nutmeg grater was a huge success, and this one is even better. Just put the whole spice into the Silo, and place the plunger on top, then just twist One direction with light pressure to quickly end up with the amount of fresh ground spice you need. No batteries, no worries about hurting you Knuckles on an open blade - just an easy twist. Luxury finishes: if you want a wanted a velvety smooth finish, We got it! By adding an additional layer of material Microplane gives this spice mill a luxuriously soft finish to make this satisfy 2 senses, the aroma and Touch. Easy to clean: We don't recommend the dishwasher, but you can use it. Instead, rinse (don't soak) in warm soapy water to dislodge the dried spice particles and rinse off the natural oil build-up.

Finest grind

Bought this at the same time as another nutmeg grinder to see which is better. As it turns out, both have their advantages. This grinder requires some downward pressure as it rotates to bring the nutmeg into the grinding plane, but the grind is consistent and the finest grind we've found. If you're looking for the ultimate nutmeg flavor without excess texture, use this grinder.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

very productive and ergonomic

I have arthritis in my thumbs so turning the tiny metal handle is inefficient (just a knife blade) and difficult to hold. This grater has many more cutting surfaces, so a little work makes a lot of nutmeg. And unlike most reviewers, I use nutmeg at least once a week. I love the flavor it adds to chicken, sweet potatoes, and baked goods. The storage compartment is large, which is good, because before use, the spice needs to be moved from storage to a grater. Convenient size, suitable for spice…

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Sprinkled with cinnamon!

I bought these specifically for cinnamon as I already had a great nutmeg grinder. If you have softer cinnamon sticks like those sold in the Mexican market, it's much easier to break them in half to fit the bottom of the grinder. They're also cheaper than the hard varieties sold in jars, and they add flavorful cinnamon dust to your coffee, hot chocolate, oatmeal, and pancakes. I've bought a few as gifts now, always with a bag of soft cinnamon sticks to get people started.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Didn't live up to my expectations

because I bought it specifically for cinnamon and wrongly assumed from the photo that it would hold whole cinnamon sticks. It's not like this. You need to cut the cinnamon sticks into small pieces so they fall into the grinding area. (Storage for whole sticks or 1/2 sticks, depending on length.) I currently use a different grinder for cinnamon and this one for cardamom (whole, with pods). It grinds well and fine and I would give it 5 stars for its grinding ability but I'm giving it 3 stars…

Pros
  • Delivered a comfortable experience
Cons
  • Not the best

The best grater for nutmeg!

After reading many reviews of numerous graters I bought this to replace a lovely little plastic nutmeg grater I have had for decades and found it extremely difficult to get the nutmegs out and dispose of them properly close), but it worked pretty well until I dropped it. One small chip and it was completely useless.] This new grater is AMAZING! Holds a handful of nuts, requires almost no effort, and gives you LOTS of freshly ground nutmeg! If nuts get stuck, give them a quick shake or add more…

Pros
  • Happy so far
Cons
  • Will write later

Great consistency for a spice grinder

The spice grinder works exactly as advertised. The product feels comfortable and does not feel "cheap”. So far I've only used it with nutmeg and cinnamon, but the results have been great! I used cinnamon and nutmeg to top the waffles and some mini peaches. For the most part, it doesn't require too much effort to use. When it's empty, it can be a bit hard to see. But once you break it apart, just add whatever spices you want to grind and flavor. Nutmeg grinder, you can continuously spin it in…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • I won't say anything
