FAQs
Is this grater dishwasher safe?
While stainless steel is generally resistant, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the sharpness of the blades and avoid damage in the dishwasher.
Can I use this to grate nutmeg or spices?
Yes, the fine grating side is suitable for hard spices like nutmeg, as well as ginger or garlic.
What is the material of the handle?
The handle is constructed from durable materials designed for a comfortable and secure grip during heavy-duty use.
How do I prevent cheese from sticking inside?
Lightly coating the blades with a small amount of cooking oil spray before use can help prevent sticky items from clinging to the metal.
Is this grater suitable for left-handed users?
Yes, the symmetrical design of the box allows for comfortable use by both left-handed and right-handed individuals.
Troubleshooting
Food particles stuck in the grater teeth
Use a nylon-bristled brush to gently scrub the blades under warm, soapy water.
Grater slides during use
Ensure the surface underneath is dry, or place a damp paper towel or silicone mat beneath the base to increase traction.
Blades feel less sharp over time
Avoid using the grater on surfaces harder than the intended food ingredients, and ensure it is stored away from other metal utensils that might dull the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your grater, simply ensure it is placed on a stable, dry surface. No complex setup is required. For maintenance, it is recommended to wash the grater immediately after use to prevent food particles from hardening in the blade teeth. Use a kitchen brush to safely remove debris from the underside of the grating surfaces. While the stainless steel is durable, hand washing is recommended to maintain the sharpness of the blades over time. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing it in a drawer or cupboard to prevent any potential oxidation.
