Constructed of durable 18/10 stainless steel, this handy kitchen grater features two grating surfaces: one fine for citrus zest, cheese, or spices, and the other coarse for hard cheeses, vegetables, or chocolate. Unlike other graters that are dull and tear food, this grater features incredibly sharp blades that virtually glide through food, preserving its fresh flavor. The tiny razor-like edges are created with a unique two-sided photo-etching process, not punched through metal, so the double beveled blades neither tear nor shred, but gently shave and grate food. For added convenience, the kitchen tool offers a handle at both ends with a sliding hand guard for protection. Use the handy gadget over a bowl or angled on a counter--rubber-coated ends keep the device from slipping. The dishwasher-safe grater measures 14 by 1-2/5 inches.
