Overview
Ultra sharp stainless steel blades sit on a flat paddle frame, and the soft touch handle gives a comfortable grip. The coarse grade produces small gratings from hard cheeses and firm ingredients.
The paddle design stores flat in a drawer, and the blades are made in Arkansas. Stainless steel is BPA free and can go in the dishwasher. The coarse grade will not give fine zest.
Who it's for
Cooks who grate cheese and firm produce at the stove or table will use the paddle shape and the easy storage. Those who want fine zest, or a container that catches the gratings, should choose another tool.

Performance notes
The sharpness of the blades and the size of the openings decide how finely food is grated, and a coarse grade gives small gratings of firm items. A soft grip handle improves control during repeated strokes.
