Key specifications

• Grating surface: fine stainless steel teeth for precise shredding

How to use

Hold the grater by the handle with a firm but comfortable grip. Position the food item against the fine grating surface and apply even pressure while moving the item up and down across the teeth to achieve a uniform grate. For small pieces, take care to keep fingers clear of the grating area; using a guard or the final grip of the item with caution reduces the risk of contact with the blade. Rinse or wash the grater after use to remove food particles and prevent residue buildup.

Usage recommendations

Use firm, moderate strokes and allow the teeth to do the cutting rather than applying excessive force. For best results with cheeses, refrigerate briefly to slightly firm before grating. Dry thoroughly after washing to maintain the stainless steel surface.
