Know before you buy
The ribbon cut produces medium-width, flat shreds that are slightly wider than a standard fine grate. It is ideal for semi-soft cheeses, chocolate, zucchini, and root vegetables where you want the ingredient to hold its shape and texture.
The bi-directional teeth allow you to grate on both the push and pull strokes. This effectively doubles your speed and reduces the effort required to process larger quantities of food.
Yes, the grater features a non-skid base that provides extra stability when resting on a cutting board or counter. While it is designed for countertop use, the sturdy frame is also easy to hold securely over a bowl if you prefer to grate directly into your ingredients.
While the grater is top-rack dishwasher safe, we recommend rinsing it immediately after use to prevent food particles from drying in the blades. Hand washing is generally better for maintaining the sharpness of the surgical-grade stainless steel over time.
Yes, it includes a protective plastic cover that snaps over the blade. This keeps the teeth sharp and prevents accidental nicks when you are reaching into your kitchen drawer.
