Know before you buy
This tool is specifically designed for firm ingredients. It excels at creating wide, delicate ribbons of hard cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino, as well as shaving solid blocks of chocolate for garnishing desserts and beverages.
Yes, the Gourmet Series Large Shaver is dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the sharpness of the surgical-grade stainless steel blades over time, hand washing is often recommended.
While a standard Microplane zester creates fine, powdery shreds, the Large Shaver is engineered with a wider blade surface to produce thin, broad ribbons. It is meant for garnishing and texture rather than fine grating.
No, the blade is permanently integrated into the frame for structural integrity and safety. The open design of the shaver allows for easy rinsing under running water.
The product does not include a protective cover. Because the blades are extremely sharp, we recommend storing it in a drawer where it won't come into contact with other utensils or using a universal blade guard.
