Questions and Answers
Q: Which side should I use?
A: Use the fine side for citrus, hard cheese, ginger, nutmeg and garlic, and the ultra coarse side for cabbage, potato, pumpkin, cheese and beetroot. The ribbon side suits coconut, carrot, apple and chocolate, and the slicer cuts cucumber, carrot, courgette and ginger.
Q: Is a box grater better than a flat grater?
A: For bigger jobs, yes. It stands on its own, catches what you grate inside the box, and puts four blades in one place. A flat grater is handier for a quick sprinkle of cheese or zest over a plate.
