Know before you buy
Yes, the Master Series is designed to be dishwasher safe. However, to maintain the finish and longevity of the wood handle, hand washing is recommended.
The coarse blade is ideal for semi-hard cheeses like cheddar or gruyère, as well as zesting citrus or grating vegetables like carrots and potatoes. It produces a thicker shred compared to a fine zester.
Yes, the grater features an ambidextrous design, allowing it to be used comfortably and effectively by both left- and right-handed cooks.
The Master Series focuses on a premium aesthetic and build, featuring a robust stainless steel frame and a high-quality wood handle that offers a more substantial, ergonomic grip than the brand's plastic-handled models.
The product specifications do not include a protective cover. Because the blade is razor-sharp, we recommend storing it in a drawer with a blade guard or in a dedicated utensil organizer to prevent accidental cuts.
