Norpro Grip-Ez
Feathery parmesan,
pastry-pro chocolate curls
and perfect little batons of
carrot – this grater is truly
great. The sliding bottom
catches food and the
measurements running up
the side are handy.

Microplane Box Grater
Ultra modern and sleek with
a soft-grip handle and
blades that grate and slice.
Bonus! One side slides off
for safe cleaning, so custom-
ers don’t shave off layers of
skin stuffing their hands up
a closed box.
