Questions and Answers
Q: What's the difference between the Gourmet, Master and Black Sheep graters?
A: They share the same photo-etched, made-in-the-USA blades. The Gourmet Series has a soft-touch plastic handle, the Master Series a walnut handle, and the Black Sheep Series is black PVD-coated stainless steel from end to end. Choose by the handle you prefer to hold and how you want it to look.
Q: Is it coarse enough for cheese on toast?
A: Yes. It makes medium shreds that melt evenly, ideal for toasties and gratin toppings. For soft cheese or potato, the Extra Coarse is the next size up.
