Box grater KingHoff KH 1986, 4-sided stainless steel, height 16 cm

KingHoff KH 1986 is a four-sided stainless steel box grater with a compact 16 cm height designed for everyday kitchen prep. Each of the four faces provides a different cutting surface for fine and coarse grating, zesting and slicing, enabling efficient processing of vegetables, hard and semi-hard cheeses, citrus peel and other common ingredients. The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and a smooth food-contact surface, while the compact footprint makes the grater suitable for smaller kitchens or for use alongside larger equipment.

Advantages

The stainless steel blades maintain sharpness for consistent cutting performance and resist staining and odors associated with food preparation. The four distinct surfaces—typically including fine and coarse grating, slicing, and microplane/zesting—allow multiple tasks with one tool, reducing the need for separate utensils. Its compact height and rectangular box form provide stability during use and convenient storage in drawers or cupboards.

• Grating hard and semi-hard cheeses for toppings and recipes
• Shredding vegetables such as carrots and cabbage for salads and slaws
• Zesting citrus fruits for baking and sauces

How to use

Place the grater on a stable, non-slip surface or over a bowl or cutting board. Hold the handle or top edge with one hand and the food item with the other, moving the food firmly along the chosen grating surface in a downward motion. For fine results, use steady pressure and repeat passes; for slices, maintain even, controlled movement. Empty the grater interior as needed to avoid buildup and to maintain consistent shredding. After use, rinse immediately under running water to remove residues before washing.

Usage recommendations

For safe and durable use, avoid grating bones or extremely hard frozen items. Use moderate pressure to preserve blade edges and consider using a kitchen glove or guard when grating small pieces to protect fingers. Clean promptly and dry thoroughly to prevent moisture buildup.
