Could you tell me what is the difference between the Microplane professional series graters and the gourmet series graters? Thank you.

I believe the only difference is that the gourmet series has a rubber grip handle and the professional series has a metal handle. Both are otherwise all metal as opposed to the Home series which has a plastic framing that, in my experience, breaks very easily. Both professional and gourmet can use the same food guard and are therefore the same size.

I have this product but how do I take it off the grader without wounding my fingers, because it won't slide down the handle; the handle is to thick???

You can take it off by prising/pushing the "clamps" on one side (either side) with your fingers quite safely - hard to describe but once you get the hang of it, very easy to do. Also the best way to get it on again - clip one side and then press down on the other side till it clips over the edge.

Does the metal framing go ALL the way through the handle, or is it simply stuck part of the way into the plastic handle?

It doesn't go all the way through the handle because there is a hole in the end of the handle for hanging, however the metal frame seems very well bonded into the plastic handle.

Are the gratings curved/round/semi circular with this model. I have one that does ribbons. Looking for a grate for hash browns. This the one?

I got this grater specifically for hash browns and it suits the task.

Da ormai qualche anno sono passato alle grattugie della microplane, stanco della fatica immane che si deve fare con le vecchie, classiche grattugie da parmigiano (totalmente inutili per grattugiare qualsiasi altra cosa, tra l'altro). Mi si è aperto un mondo: - si fa meno fatica - si puliscono molto più rapidamente (non resta tutto appiccicato/impastato, cme nelle vecchie grattugie) - grattugiano non solo i lparmigiano/grana, ma anche la buccia degli agrumi, le noci moscate, il cioccolato, e qualsiasi altra cosa Ce ne sono di vari tipi, con diverso spessore della lama che realizzano un diverso effetto sul prodotto grattugiato finale (documentatevi sul sito della microplane e scegliete secondo esigenza), più o meno adatte ai diversi prodotti da grattugiare. Attenzione: nella mia esperienza più adatto vuol dire assolutamente perfetto per il prodotto, meno adatto vuol, dire che grattugia comunque meglio del 95% delle altre grattugie!) Overall: costano un po' più della concorrenza, ma la qualità è strepitosa... e il tempo (e gli improperi) che vi faranno risparmiare compensano ampiamente (secondo me) il costo iniziale maggiore! Prodotti consigliatissimi!
