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: What's the difference between shaving and grating?
A: Shaving cuts thin, wide slices instead of shreds, so the cheese or chocolate keeps its shape on the plate. It's for finishing a dish rather than mixing into it.
Q: Can I shave cold butter with it?
A: Yes. Shaving butter straight from the fridge is a quick way to get it into pastry or scone mixes, and it spreads more easily on bread too.
