Know before you buy
Unlike a traditional grater that creates fine shreds, the Professional Series Large Shaver is designed to produce wide, thin ribbons or chips. It is ideal for creating delicate curls of chocolate or thin shavings of hard cheese for garnishing.
Yes, the all-stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand washing the blade when possible to maintain its sharpness over time.
This shaver works best with hard cheeses like Parmesan, Pecorino, or aged Gouda. Soft cheeses tend to clump and will not produce the clean, thin shavings the tool is designed for.
Yes, it includes a reusable protective cover. This keeps the blade sharp and prevents accidental cuts when you are reaching into your kitchen drawer.
The shaver features non-slip rubber feet at the base, which provide a secure grip on your countertop or cutting board. This allows you to shave ingredients with confidence without the tool sliding around.
