Know before you buy
While specifically designed for citrus rinds, the stainless steel surface is also effective for grating hard cheeses like Parmesan or fresh ginger. However, it is optimized for the delicate zesting required for cocktail garnishes.
To preserve the wood, hand wash the grater with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking the handle or placing it in the dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.
Yes, the wide surface area is designed to accommodate the curves of oranges, lemons, and limes efficiently. This width allows you to zest quickly without needing to exert excessive pressure.
The polished acacia wood is shaped ergonomically to fit comfortably in your palm. While wood provides a natural, slip-resistant texture compared to metal or plastic, we recommend wiping your hands dry before use to ensure the best control.
The stainless steel is durable and resistant to corrosion, but it is best practice to hand dry the blade thoroughly after washing. Proper care will prevent water spots and maintain the sharpness of the grating teeth.
