Available in October at retailers nationwide, the new Cup Graters are priced at $9.95 each suggested retail. Sturdily crafted in creamy white, the durable and lightweight Cup Graters are designed to easily and efficiently add grated toppings directly to sweet and savory dishes and beverages. Standing less than three inches tall, each compact Cup Grater features a perfectly round, 3-inch diameter size, original made in the USA Microplane blade for optimum grating results. Additionally, the cleverly designed, "bottomless" Cup Graters include a transparent protective cover for safe storage that can also be flipped over and used as a base to catch grated ingredients. The Chocolate Cup Grater – perfect for grating chocolate, coconut and hard candy, such as peppermint sticks – is outfitted with Microplane's medium-size ribbon blade, which can be used in both directions. Distinguished by its wide and comfortable soft-touch band in cocoa Cup Grater from Microplane brown, the Chocolate Cup Grater is fun to use decorating cakes, cupcakes, doughnuts, pies, and other treats. The Spice Cup Grater features Microplane's super- fine spice blade to quickly and effortlessly grate cinnamon sticks and whole nutmeg. Additionally, unique shaker holes that are strategically placed at the perimeter of the blade allow for convenient sprinkling of grated ingredients. The Spice Cup Grater is perfectly shaped and sized to easily add spice toppings to cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, as well as quickly garnish favorite fall and winter beverages, such as hot tea and cocoa, mulled wine and cider, whisky toddy, and other specialty drinks. The Spice Cup Grater's wide soft-touch band is accented in vibrant red. An appealing holiday stocking stuffer, hostess gift, and practical tool for fall season baking and entertaining, the new Microplane Cup Graters are dishwasher safe for speedy clean up (hand-washing is recommended for the cover).
