The OXO Good Grips Spice Grater provides function and storage in one. The etched stainless steel grating surface finely grates spices like whole nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon into the Grater sleeve. Simply grate the amount needed and then sprinkle into desired dish or beverage. An additional compartment snaps onto the Grater, providing convenient storage for un-grated spices so that everything is right where it"s needed the next time a recipe calls for a little extra flavor.
