Maestro MR-1600-21 is a manual stainless steel box grater with a 210 mm height and four colour accent options: black, green, orange and yellow. The grater includes multiple stainless steel surfaces for coarse shredding, fine grating and slicing, designed for routine kitchen tasks such as preparing vegetables, cheese and garnishes. Its rectangular box shape offers stability on work surfaces and a contained workspace for collecting grated food.
Advantages
The stainless steel blades provide durable cutting edges that resist corrosion and preserve sharpness with normal home use. The box design reduces mess by directing grated food into the interior, while the 210 mm height accommodates larger items for efficient processing. Multiple grating surfaces expand the tool's functionality for different textures, from fine zest to thicker shreds. Colour accents allow quick visual matching with other kitchen items.
Suitable for
- Grating hard and semi-hard cheeses (parmesan, cheddar)
- Shredding vegetables for salads and slaws (carrots, cabbage)
- Slicing vegetables for garnishes or thin strips
- Preparing ingredients for baking or cooking (zest, chocolate)
When it may not be suitable
This manual box grater is not intended for heavy industrial use or continuous high-volume processing. Very soft, sticky foods may clog the cutting surfaces and be harder to process, and extremely large items may not fit comfortably inside the grater's 210 mm height.
Key specifications
- Material: stainless steel blades and body components
- Height: 210 mm
- Grating surfaces: multiple sides for coarse, fine and slicing functions
- Design: rectangular box grater with contained collection area
- Colour accents: black, green, orange, yellow
How to use
Place the box grater on a stable, flat surface or over a bowl to collect grated food. Hold the grater firmly with one hand and move the food item along the chosen grating surface with the other, using even pressure and short strokes for safety. Rotate the item as it reduces in size and use a protective glove or pusher for small pieces to avoid injury. After use, rinse off large residues, then wash with warm soapy water or place on the top rack of a dishwasher if the manufacturer guidelines allow.
What to consider before purchase
- Confirm that a 210 mm height fits your typical ingredients and storage space
- Consider which grating textures you use most often (fine, coarse, slicing)
- Check whether you prefer a specific colour accent for kitchen coordination
- Assess cleaning preferences—hand wash versus dishwasher compatibility
Usage recommendations
For best results, start grating larger items and finish with small pieces using a holder or glove to protect fingers. Clean immediately after use to prevent residue buildup on the blades and maintain cutting performance over time.
