Kinvara stainless steel grater with measuring container model 95032, black

The Kinvara stainless steel grater with measuring container model 95032 in black is a handheld kitchen tool combining a stainless steel grating surface with an integrated receptacle for collecting and measuring grated ingredients. It is designed for grating vegetables, hard and semi-hard cheeses, and citrus zest, and its compact size makes it suitable for everyday food preparation and small-batch cooking. The black finish provides a neutral aesthetic that fits most kitchen styles while the measuring container helps track portions during recipe preparation.

Advantages

The grater features a durable stainless steel grating surface that resists corrosion and maintains sharpness for consistent results. An attached measuring container captures grated food directly, reducing mess and enabling simple portion control. The compact form factor supports easy storage and handling, and the black finish offers a low-profile look that resists stains and complements other utensils. The integrated design streamlines the grating-to-measuring workflow, saving time when preparing ingredients.

Suitable for

• Grating hard and semi-hard cheeses for salads, pasta, and toppings
• Preparing vegetable shreds such as carrots and cucumbers for salads and garnishes
• Zesting citrus fruits for baking, dressings, and marinades
• Measuring small portions of grated ingredients for recipes and meal prep

When it may not be suitable

This grater is compact and intended for small to medium quantities; it may not be ideal for processing large volumes of ingredients where a box grater or food processor would be more efficient. It is meant for hard and semi-hard items and citrus zest; very soft cheeses or ingredients that smear easily may not grate cleanly.

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel grating surface with plastic measuring container and frame
• Finish: black exterior
• Dimensions (approximate): 15 × 9 × 6.7 cm
• Form factor: handheld grater with integrated receptacle
• Primary uses: grating vegetables, cheese, and citrus zest

How to use

Hold the grater at a comfortable angle over a bowl or work surface and press the ingredient against the stainless steel surface while moving it back and forth to produce shreds or zest. Allow grated material to fall directly into the measuring container; periodically tap the container to settle contents and check the measured amount. For safety, keep fingers clear of the grating area and use a protective holder or the ingredient’s end piece when necessary. Clean the grater after use, removing residual pieces from the teeth and the container.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended quantity: suitable for small to medium batches rather than high-volume grating
• Type of ingredients: best for firm vegetables, hard/semi-hard cheeses, and citrus zest
• Cleaning: verify whether parts are dishwasher-safe or require hand washing

Usage recommendations

For best results, dry ingredients and steady, even strokes produce consistent shreds. Rinse or soak immediately after use to prevent food from drying in the grating teeth, and store the tool in a dry place to preserve the stainless steel surface.
