Know before you buy
Unlike metal graters that use sharp teeth to slice, this ceramic grater uses a textured surface to crush ingredients. This method is particularly effective for fibrous foods like ginger or daikon, resulting in a finer, more uniform paste.
No, this grater is not dishwasher safe. However, it is designed for easy maintenance; the ceramic surface is non-stick, so food fibers typically rinse away easily under running water.
Yes, the silicone base is designed to be removed, which allows you to clean the ceramic edge thoroughly and prevents food residue from getting trapped underneath.
Yes, the ceramic material is microwave safe. This is convenient if you need to warm up your grated ingredients or sauces directly in the dish.
The grater features a non-slip silicone base that provides excellent stability on most kitchen surfaces. It is designed to stay firmly in place, allowing you to grate ingredients with minimal effort.
Because each piece is handmade, you should expect slight variations in color, texture, and shape. These unique characteristics are part of the artisanal process and do not affect the performance of the ceramic blades.
