Trudeau"s 4-sided cheese grater is the perfect kitchen gadge for the multi-tasker. The variable 4 sides offer the ability to grate hard cheese, soft cheese and hard veggies ( it"s great for carrots in a salad). The grater has a comfortable fit in the hand and non-slip handle for steady grating. It also has a non-skid, non-scratch base. Dishwasher safe.
