Know before you buy
The extra-coarse blade is designed for ingredients that benefit from a larger shred, such as potatoes for hash browns, zucchini for fritters, cabbage for coleslaw, and semi-hard cheeses like cheddar or gouda.
Yes, it includes a reusable protective cover. We recommend using it whenever the grater is stored in a drawer to keep the blades sharp and prevent accidental cuts.
While the stainless steel construction is durable, we recommend hand washing the grater with warm water and a brush to maintain the sharpness of the blades over time.
The non-slip end allows you to anchor the grater firmly against your cutting board or the inside of a bowl. This provides extra stability and leverage, making it easier to grate firmer vegetables without the tool sliding.
The Professional Series features a redesigned, ergonomic handle that is built for a more secure and comfortable grip. It is specifically shaped to reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks like grating large batches of cheese or potatoes.
