4-Sided Steel Cheese Grater with Storage Container

This 4-sided cheese grater is for home cooks and bakers who grate often: it stands on its own storage container, so cheese, carrots or cucumber fall straight into the box instead of across the counter. Grate ahead, put the lid on and keep it in the fridge.

Each of the four stainless steel faces does a different job: big holes for cheese and carrots, medium holes for potatoes and lauki, fine holes for ginger, garlic and lemon zest, and a slicing side for thin cucumber and potato slices. The black handle on top keeps your hand steady, and the black rim at the base sits on the container.

2. 2Hold the top handle and push the food down the face you need in firm strokes.
3. 3Lift the grater off, put the lid on the container and refrigerate if you’re grating ahead.

What to grate on each side

• Big holes: cheese for pizza and pasta, carrots for gajar ka halwa
• Medium holes: potatoes for aloo tikki, lauki and cucumber for raita
• Fine holes: ginger, garlic, lemon zest and chocolate
• Slicing side: cucumber, potato and onion slices

A cheese grater with its own container also makes weekday cooking quicker: grate a block of cheese or a few carrots once and use them through the week.

Tip: put a block of cheese in the freezer for 15 minutes before grating; it holds its shape and grates more cleanly.
