"   As celebrity chefs have risen to stardom, we&amp;#039;ve seen them endorse everything from cookware to stand mixers, the theory being that if you splurge on their gadgets, you too may be able to cook like Rachael, Paula, or Mario. But a new addition to the market, the Michel Bras Grater Set with 3 Blades by Kai ($120 at Williams-Sonoma), left us wondering...does a 3-star Michelin chef really grate cheese better than the rest of us? To find out, we pitted the set (which includes fine, medium, and coarse blades) against our longtime favorite graters from Microplane. We chose models that promised to perform similar tasks, ranging from finely grating hard Parmesan cheese to shredding carrots. In each case the graters performed similarly, though we distinctly favored the Microplane for shredding carrots and soft cheeses. In each case it produced beautiful ribbons whereas the Michel Bras left us with tiny strands. The Michel Bras was beautiful and comfy to hold, but like most graters, it was tricky to wash by hand and it couldn&amp;#039;t be cleaned in the dishwasher. The Microplanes are all dishwasher safe. Plus, a set of 4 Artisan Series graters sells for under $36. The $84 you save will buy you a whole lotta lemons. Ready to get grating? Check out the Daily Green&amp;#039;s story on artisan cheeses.
