FAQs
What are the four grating surfaces for?
The grater features coarse, medium, zester, and shaver blades. The coarse and medium sides are for general shredding (e.g., cheese, potatoes). The zester is for finely grating citrus peel or hard cheese. The shaver is for thinly slicing ingredients like chocolate or firm vegetables.
Is the Dexam ErgoGrip Box Grater dishwasher safe?
No, this grater is not dishwasher safe. It should be hand washed with warm, soapy water and dried thoroughly.
How do I clean the zester side effectively?
Use a small brush (like a dish brush or an old toothbrush) with warm, soapy water to gently scrub the zester holes. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
What makes the grip 'ergonomic'?
The handle is shaped and sized to fit comfortably in your hand, with a non-slip texture to provide a secure and stable grip, reducing strain during use.
How does the non-slip feature work?
The grater has four rubberized feet on its base. These feet create friction against smooth surfaces like countertops, preventing the grater from slipping while you work.
What is the overall size of the grater?
The grater is 21cm tall, offering a good balance of grating surface area and manageable size for storage and use.
Troubleshooting
Grater is unstable during use
Ensure the grater is placed on a flat, dry surface. Check that all four non-slip feet are clean and making full contact with the surface.
Food is sticking to the grating surfaces
Ensure the grater is clean and dry before use. For softer ingredients, try pressing down slightly more firmly with the ergonomic handle for better control.
Difficulty grating hard ingredients like Parmesan cheese
Use the medium or coarse grating side. Ensure the cheese is at room temperature, as very cold cheese can be more difficult to grate. Apply steady pressure using the ergonomic handle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Dexam ErgoGrip Box Grater requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon removal from packaging.
Compatibility: This grater is compatible with a wide range of ingredients, including hard and soft cheeses, vegetables (carrots, zucchini, potatoes), fruits (apples), chocolate, and citrus for zesting. It works best when placed on a stable, flat surface or held securely over a bowl.
Care: To maintain its performance and longevity, hand wash the grater with warm, soapy water immediately after each use. Use a brush to dislodge any food particles from the grating surfaces and the non-slip feet. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and corrosion. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the blades and the grater's finish. This grater is not suitable for dishwasher use.
