Know before you buy
The stainless steel grater can be hand-washed with mild detergent and warm water. Because the oak stand is untreated, it should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and never submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher.
Yes, Rivsalt offers refill packs of Himalayan salt rocks specifically designed for their graters. You can continue to use the original stand and grater indefinitely.
No, the oak stand is made from untreated natural wood. If you prefer a darker look or want to protect the wood from stains, you can apply a food-safe wood oil, though it will change the natural appearance of the oak.
The Japanese-style stainless steel grater is designed to produce fine, delicate shavings rather than a coarse powder. This texture is ideal for finishing dishes, as it melts quickly and provides a consistent seasoning.
Yes, the salt rock is stable and safe to display. However, because salt is hygroscopic, it may absorb moisture in very humid environments, so it is best kept in a dry place.
