Review title: Perfectly fine blade in a worse than useless plastic frame
Product review: That pretty much covers it. The blade is a classic, high-quality, sharp microplane blade. I love them - and I have 5 of the other "stick" style professional microplane graters. This, however, was my first microplane, and it would be sturdier if they made the frame out of a high quality dark chocolate. I don't even wash my graters in a dishwasher, and but plastic surround on this design began to crack within weeks - parts of it began falling off within months. Once that happens it becomes too flexible to use - not to mention the bits of clear plastic frame that in your food. Not good.Anyone who rated this highly either did so too soon to know this - or they don't actually use it very often.If you need a sturdy microplane to actually use in the kitchen, try any of the file-shaped metal-only (or all metal with black handle) versions. They are fantastic. They even cost less. This one stinks.
