METALTEX Glass Kitchen Grater / Apple Grater 184565000 – thick-walled transparent glass, dishwasher-safe, 1 piece

METALTEX Glass Kitchen Grater / Apple Grater 184565000 is a single-piece kitchen tool made from thick-walled transparent glass, designed for grating soft fruits and similar ingredients directly over plates, bowls or serving dishes. The glass construction avoids metallic contact with food and offers straightforward cleaning. This grater is intended for everyday household use and is dishwasher-safe, combining simple functionality with a durable, easy-to-maintain material.

Advantages

The thick-walled transparent glass provides mechanical strength and a clear view of the grating process, while the single-piece design reduces joints and crevices where food can accumulate. Being dishwasher-safe simplifies cleaning and maintenance. The absence of metal parts in contact with grated food eliminates metallic taste transfer and makes it suitable for acidic fruits. The product is compact and easy to store.

Suitable for

• Grating apples and other soft fruits for salads, desserts or sauces
• Preparing grated citrus zest and soft vegetable garnishes
• Direct grating over bowls, plates or serving dishes
• Everyday household kitchen tasks where a compact, easy-to-clean grater is needed

When it may not be suitable

This glass grater is not intended for hard ingredients such as hard cheeses, hard root vegetables or frozen items; attempting to grate very hard foods could damage the glass or reduce grating efficiency. It is also not designed for heavy-duty commercial kitchen use where frequent, high-intensity grating of coarse materials is required.

Key specifications

How to use

Place the grater on a stable surface or hold it over a bowl or plate. Press the soft fruit gently against the glass grating surface and move it back and forth to produce grated pieces. For best results use fruits at room temperature and apply even, moderate pressure to avoid slipping. After use, rinse under running water to remove residue, or place the grater in the dishwasher according to the appliance manufacturer's instructions.

What to consider before purchase

• Glass construction is durable but can break if dropped or subjected to strong impact
• Check dishwasher compatibility with your specific dishwasher cycles and detergents
• Compact size and single-piece design may limit throughput for large-volume tasks

Usage recommendations

Use gentle, even strokes and keep the grater secured while in use. Immediately rinse or place in the dishwasher after grating to prevent residue from drying on the surface. Avoid striking the glass against hard surfaces and store in a safe place to minimize risk of breakage.
