Product Information

A ginger grater looks like a small, round, metal disk. It has a sharp edge that helps you grate the ginger. The disk is attached to a long arm that helps you move the ginger around. The arm also has a number of slots that help you place the ginger in the food processor. When you’re finished grating the ginger, remove the disk and arm from the food processor and place it in a bowl. How do you grate ginger without a Microplane?

This grater performed well in our tests, producing even shreds of both hard and soft cheese. The big surface area of the sides and the wider, flared opening at the bottom came especially in handy while grating larger volumes. Since it is lightweight, despite its size, we noted that it might not last as long with heavier use (more than the average home cook). Cleaning was easy—both in the dishwasher and while washing by hand—and the rubber bottom is removable to ensure that no smaller pieces of food are caught underneath. All in all, this grater is a great value for the price. The grater is dishwasher safe, and we ran it though the dishwasher multiple times during testing. The box should be hand washed, but if it’s only used for storage it shouldn’t need a lot of cleaning.

The G10 handle is designed for wet environments, so it’s perfect for both, home cooks, and seasoned chefs.
