A wide, fine grater for everyday finishing touches: Parmesan over pasta, zest into a cake batter, or garlic and ginger straight into the pan. The photo-etched blade glides through with very little pressure.
Features
- Photo-etched blade: Ultra-sharp fine blade, made in the USA, cuts food cleanly rather than tearing it.
- Soft-touch handle: Ergonomic grip that stays comfortable while you grate.
- Non-slip rubber foot: Rests steadily at an angle on a board or plate as you work.
- Hanging notch: Hang it on a rail or hook so it's always to hand.

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: Can I zest citrus with it?
A: Yes. The fine blade takes off just the coloured zest and leaves the bitter pith behind. If you mostly zest, the narrower Premium Zester is easier to run around a lemon.
Q: Can I grate whole spices?
A: Yes. Whole nutmeg and cinnamon sticks grate to a fine powder, which is fresher and more fragrant than ready-ground spice.
