Flat grater Lurch 240240 — stainless steel blades, plastic body, hanging loop, width 65 mm, height 330 mm

The Lurch 240240 flat grater combines a stainless steel cutting surface with a robust plastic frame to provide a compact, easy-to-handle tool for everyday kitchen tasks. With a blade width of 65 mm and an overall height of 330 mm, this hand grater is designed for grating and slicing vegetables, hard and semi-hard cheeses, and for removing citrus zest. A built-in hanging loop simplifies storage, while the flat form factor makes it convenient to grate directly over bowls, plates or cutting boards.

Advantages

The stainless steel blades ensure sharp, consistent performance and resist corrosion for long-term use. The plastic body keeps the tool lightweight and easy to manoeuvre during food preparation. Its slim, flat design allows for direct grating over various containers and takes up minimal drawer or cabinet space. The hanging loop offers a simple storage option that helps keep the kitchen organised. The surface is straightforward to rinse or wash, supporting everyday hygiene and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Grating hard and semi-hard cheeses (Parmesan, cheddar)
• Shredding vegetables such as carrots and cucumbers
• Creating fine citrus zest for baking and garnishes
• Slicing thin strips of firm produce for salads and garnishes
• Small-batch home food preparation and finishing touches

When it may not be suitable

This flat hand grater is not intended for large-volume commercial use where a powered or box grater with multiple grating surfaces would be more efficient. Very soft foods or extremely large items may not produce clean results on a fine stainless steel surface and can clog or bend during use. For heavy-duty processing of large quantities, a specialised commercial grater or food processor is more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Blade material: stainless steel cutting surface
• Body material: durable plastic frame
• Blade width: 65 mm
• Overall height: 330 mm
• Design: flat hand grater with hanging loop
• Colour: black plastic frame with metallic blades

How to use

Hold the grater by the frame and position it over a bowl, plate or cutting board. Press the food item lightly against the stainless steel surface and move it along the blade in a steady motion to grate or slice. For citrus zest, use gentle strokes to remove only the coloured outer peel. After use, rinse the grater under running water to remove residue and wash with warm soapy water if needed. Allow to dry completely before storing on the hanging loop or inside a drawer.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 65 mm blade width and 330 mm height fit your working and storage needs
• Consider whether a flat grater meets your volume — for large quantities, a box grater or food processor may be better
• Check that the stainless steel blade and plastic body materials match your preferences for durability and cleaning
• Ensure the hanging loop storage option is suitable for your kitchen layout

Usage recommendations

Use moderate, even pressure when grating to maintain blade condition and avoid slipping. Clean immediately after use to prevent food particles from drying on the blades. Store hanging or flat in a drawer to protect the cutting surface and reduce the risk of accidental contact.
