How to use

Hold the grater securely with one hand and the food item with the other; move the food across the coarse surface with steady, even strokes to produce uniform shreds. Apply moderate pressure to avoid slipping and reposition the food as it becomes smaller or harder to hold. After grating the main portion, use a short final stroke to retrieve remaining pieces, taking care to protect fingers from the grating surface.

Usage recommendations

For best results, chill semi-soft cheeses briefly before grating to improve firmness, and use a light scrub with a brush or rinse under running water immediately after use to prevent residue buildup. Store the grater in a dry place to maintain condition.
