KitchenAid Fine Etched Grater Empire Red
This KitchenAid fine grater combines efficient design with kitchen durability. At 29.5cm long, it provides comfortable control whilst the bold empire red handle offers secure grip during use.
The stainless steel grating surface features unique micro-serrations that work in both directions, speeding up grating as you can push forward and pull back without lifting. This bidirectional design makes quick work of fresh ginger, whole nutmeg, citrus zest, garlic, and hard cheeses like Parmesan. The fine holes create delicate, almost powder-like results that release intense flavour without chunky texture. A cushioned non-slip foot at the base grips bowls or cutting boards, keeping the grater stable whilst you work. The protective blade cover ensures safe storage in drawers.

What Customers Ask About KitchenAid Fine Grater
What can I grate with this?
This fine grater excels at grating ginger, fresh nutmeg, garlic, citrus zest, hard cheeses like Parmesan, and chocolate. The fine holes create delicate shreds perfect for adding intense flavour to dishes without chunky texture.
What does bidirectional grating mean?
The micro-serrations are designed to grate effectively in both directions - pushing forward and pulling back. This speeds up grating as you don't need to lift the grater after each stroke, making the task faster and less tiring.
What's the difference between fine and medium graters?
Fine graters have smaller holes that produce delicate, almost powder-like results perfect for ginger, nutmeg, and citrus zest. Medium graters produce larger shreds suitable for melting cheese and garnishing. Fine graters create more intense flavour as they expose more surface area.
How does the non-slip foot work?
The cushioned non-slip foot at the base grips bowls or cutting boards, keeping the grater stable whilst you work. This provides better control and safety during grating.
What's the lifetime guarantee?
KitchenAid provides a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. If the product fails under normal use due to a manufacturing fault, it will be replaced. This doesn't cover damage from misuse or normal wear over time.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove protective cover and wash in warm soapy water or dishwasher.
Daily cleaning: Dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a brush to clean between the grating holes. Rinse thoroughly and dry promptly. Be careful handling the sharp grating surface.
Using the non-slip foot: Position the grater over a bowl or cutting board with the cushioned foot engaged. Apply gentle downward pressure whilst grating to keep it stable.
Bidirectional grating technique: Push forward and pull back in smooth motions. The micro-serrations work in both directions, so you don't need to lift the grater between strokes. This is particularly efficient for fibrous ingredients like ginger.
Safety: Always use the protective cover when storing. The grating surface is very sharp - grate away from your body and keep fingers away from the holes. For small items like nutmeg, use the last piece to push the previous piece through rather than grating right to the end.
Storage: Use the protective cover for drawer storage, or hang using the built-in loop. Store in a dry location.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used it.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally break this item, we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of breakage. Photos of the damage are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Does this match other KitchenAid utensils?
Yes, it does match the rest of the range of KitchenAid utensils. However, this may not match your existing KitchenAid utensils as this range has been given a new design as of December of 2025.
Is it dishwasher safe?
To maintain the sharpness of the grater we recommend handwashing as the dishwasher will dull the blades.
Is this better than a Microplane?
This fine grater offers similar results to a Microplane with the added benefit of bidirectional grating and a non-slip foot for stability. The choice often comes down to personal preference and ergonomics.
