Know before you buy
The Ultra Coarse model features a surface that is a full inch wider than the standard Gourmet Series, allowing for faster grating. Its teeth are also double the width, which is specifically designed for chunkier textures like hashbrowns and coleslaw.
While it can handle hard cheeses, the ultra-coarse teeth are optimized for soft cheeses and vegetables. If you prefer a fine, powdery texture for hard cheese, you may want to pair this with a finer Microplane blade.
Yes, it is equipped with non-slip rubber feet at the base. These provide stability and prevent the grater from sliding across your countertop or cutting board during use.
Yes, the grater is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand washing when possible to keep the stainless steel blades sharp for a longer period of time.
The grater comes with a reusable protective cover. We recommend sliding this over the blade after cleaning and drying to protect your fingers and keep the teeth from dulling in your drawer.
