🧄 Efficient Ginger Preparation Made Easy: Microplane 3-in-1 Ginger Grater Tool in Sleek Black and Grey Review

Used for instant rubs of garlic, shallot, ginger, turmeric and galangal. Simply grate and use to add a powerful flavor to sauces. Garlic and shallots add French flavor so not just for Asian/fusion recipes. Fast, easy to use, overall easy to clean. The mandolin is a bit small for large pieces of ginger and the slices can be wedged in the indentation. It has replaced my garlic press and my usual garlic and ginger microplate (but not for other foods like cheese).

I had to put 1 star to write a review. I read a rave review from Epicurious.com so I was surprised to be utterly disappointed. I returned this grater for a number of reasons. The cleaner was useless, a teaspoon in hand works like a charm. The grater was difficult to reach. It would be more efficient if the grate was placed "face down". The cutting blade is also awkward to reach and very sharp. I'm a chef so my standards may be more precise or picky, but I found this grater more challenging. .

I've had a larger Microplane for a long time, but decided to give this one a try because it does everything you want to do with ginger in one tool, saving you time Washing multiple tools. Well, the grater worked fine, the scraper cleans the ginger perfectly, but the slicer doesn't deliver wafer-thin slices as described. I thought I might have a defective part as I also had trouble installing the guard. So I ordered another one in black, this time for comparison. The slicer still didn't give me…

When I first ordered this tool my girlfriend thought I was crazy. At least I already had a reasonably working Microplane. But I read about it on Healthy-ish and had to try it. A small plastic ginger peeler on the side gets you started — save yourself the hassle of getting your spoon dirty for the task. Then the razor-sharp blade slices ginger for tea or soup, or use a grater with the perfect frame and size to create beautifully grated ginger. The grater has triangular teeth that stay sharp…

This combination of grater and slicer (mandolin) seemed like a good idea to me. But when I tried to remove the plastic protection on the razor-sharp mandolin, I cut myself badly. Then when I tried to replace the guard, I cut open the joint next to my fingertip. You must use a flat blade screwdriver to remove the protector and CAREFULLY to install it. I think this protection is a terrible design and sent photos and comments to the company's support man Jarett Hale on April 29th. There is no…

I gave up four graters of ginger after purchasing this tool. I've bought one off and on over the years in search of one that works really well. Some were sweet and some worked a little better, but mostly mush. This grater really grates the ginger. And if, like me, you keep fresh ginger in the freezer, you don't need to thaw it. Simply scrape off the skin or cut it off with a knife and then grate it from frozen – works great. If you don't store ginger in the freezer and don't use ginger all the…

Last night I used a grater to make a small mound of grated ginger to add to the hot oil to start frying. I didn't know how to remove the protective case so I ignored it the first time and decided to wait reading reviews and asking for recommendations. Thanks to the people who answered the removal question. And thanks to the reviewer for pointing out how sharp a real blade is. With this guide in mind, I donned the safety glove I bought with my grater, grabbed one of my heavy table knives, and…

I've used this great tool several times over the past few weeks and it ranks as one of the best I've tried. Thanks to the thick plastic body, it lies comfortably in the hand and is also relatively easy to clean. I wish the grate window was a bit bigger, but the current size is enough for most jobs, it works well for garlic too. Does a great job of grating/grinding without producing a good sized pulp. I haven't used the cutting blade that much, but it's also easy to use, the long notches help…
