Care
- Daily cleaning: Rinse straight after use, before food dries on, then dry it carefully, keeping your fingers away from the blade.

- Storage: Keep the blade cover on when it's in a drawer.
Questions and Answers
Q: Can I zest citrus with it?
A: Yes. The fine blade takes off the coloured zest and leaves the bitter pith behind, and it's just as good for ginger and nutmeg.
Q: Fine or medium: which should I choose?
A: The fine grater is for zest, spices and a light snow of Parmesan. The medium grater is better for cheddar, carrot and other everyday grating.
