About the Stainless Steel Box Grater
A four-sided stainless box grater: coarse and fine shred, a slicing blade, and a zesting face. It stands on its own base over a bowl or a board, and the open top means grated cheese falls straight through instead of packing into a drum. At 240 mm it is tall enough to grate a block of cheddar without your knuckles reaching the blade, and light enough at 159 g that it does not fight you when you tip it out. Hand wash — a dishwasher will not damage it, but the fine face dulls faster with the heat and detergent.

Still deciding? Which Kitchen Utensils Do You Actually Need?
Six tools cover almost all home cooking: a turner or fish slice, a solid spoon, a slotted spoon, a ladle, tongs, and a heatproof spatula. Everything beyond that is task-specific rather than essential, which is why 20-piece sets end up with half their contents in a drawer permanently. Material matters more than count: stainless steel lasts effectively forever and takes any heat, but it will scratch a non-stick pan, so a non-stick cook needs silicone or nylon for those pans specifically. One-piece stainless construction avoids the two failure points of cheaper sets — a handle that works loose, and a seam that traps food.
Questions about the Stainless Steel Box Grater
What are the four sides for?
Coarse shred for cheese and potato, fine shred for hard cheese and carrot, a flat slicer for cucumber and courgette, and a fine zesting face for citrus, nutmeg and garlic.
Is it dishwasher safe?
It will survive a dishwasher, but we recommend hand washing. Heat and detergent dull a fine grating face faster than washing up liquid does, and a stiff brush under running water clears it in seconds.
How tall is it?
240 mm, with a 110 × 85 mm base. That is tall enough to work over a mixing bowl and grate a full block without your fingers reaching the blade.
Does it come with a container?
No. This is the open box design that sits over your own bowl or board, which is why nothing packs up inside it the way it does in a catcher-style grater.
What is it made of?
Stainless steel throughout, including the handle. There is no plastic base to crack and no coating to wear off.
