Overview
A coarse stainless steel grating surface on a slim rectangular body turns cheese into thicker shreds than the fine grade of this series. The listing describes the grater as one unit with no container or extra blades.
A coarse grade is the one to choose when shreds should stay visible on a dish, not melt into it. The stainless steel surface is the working part. Seller copy is cut short, so care instructions and recommended foods are missing.
Who it's for
People who top pasta, salads or casseroles with shredded cheese will use the coarse grade most. Those who grate hard cheese to a fine powder, or who want a box grater with a catch container, need a different tool.
Pros and cons
- Coarse grade for thicker shreds
- Stainless steel grating surface
- Slim rectangular shape
- Light in the hand
- Care and dishwasher guidance not listed
- No container or catch included
- Listed color varies between title and specs
Performance notes
Hole size and blade edge decide the shred: a coarse grade cuts wider strands that hold their shape on a plate. Stainless steel is the working surface, but the listing gives no grating rate or use instructions.
