What customers say
This Kyocera grater earns high praise for its exceptional grating efficiency, especially with fibrous roots like ginger. Users love how it produces a fine, smooth pulp without the stringy residue common to metal tools. The ceramic teeth effectively separate juice and fiber, making it perfect for sauces and teas. Maintenance is simple; cleaning requires only a quick rinse, a significant advantage over traditional graters. While the initial cost is higher, reviewers agree the superior performance and ease of use fully justify the investment. It is considered a game changer for ginger preparation, offering functional excellence that outweighs minor concerns about its size.
Know before you buy
Unlike metal graters that slice through fibers, the Kyocera's ceramic teeth shred ingredients while retaining the fibrous structure. This is particularly effective for ginger, as it allows you to extract the juice and pulp without getting stuck with long, stringy fibers.
No, this grater is not dishwasher safe. Because of the delicate nature of the advanced ceramic teeth, we recommend hand washing it with mild soap and water to maintain its sharpness and longevity.
It is designed with a non-slip silicone base that grips your countertop, providing stability while you apply pressure. This ensures the grater stays in place even when you are working with tougher ingredients like daikon radish or ginger roots.
Yes, it is highly versatile. While it excels at ginger, it is also excellent for grating garlic, daikon radish, hard cheeses, and citrus zest. The integrated bowl design is especially useful for capturing juices from these ingredients.
The ceramic surface is hygienic and wear-resistant, making it easy to rinse clean. If residue remains, a quick scrub with a soft brush or sponge under running water will easily dislodge any trapped fibers.
