Experience the pleasure of Cuisipro"s razor sharp etched graters with exclusive Surface Glide Technology. Surface Glide Technology is a special grooved grating surface, exclusive to Cuisipro, that creates the perfect balance between ease of grating and maximum efficiency for an outstanding grating performance. The science behind Surface Glide Technology is based on the repeated grooved pattern that is spread evenly across the face of the grating surface. First, the grooves reduce resistance, making it easier to grate food. Second, the grooves elongate the length of each individual blade, so a larger cutting surface comes in contact with food, and more food is grated with each stroke. This four sided box grater can handle grating large quantities of food and features 5 grating surfaces in total. The Fine grater is ideal for citrus zest, parmesan, garlic, nutmeg and cinnamon. The coarse grater handles soft cheeses and vegetables. The ultra coarse is great for soft cheeses such as cheddar and mozzarella. The slicer will slice cucumbers, potatoes and variety of vegetables. The base doubles as a ginger grater that perfectly shreds fresh ginger root while leaving unwanted fibers behind. The non-slip handle and base provides good stability while grating.
