Score 8.4 / 10
Average of substance, design, and value.
Trades the narrow rasp shape for a wide paddle face, doubling usable surface without dulling the etched blade's fine cut on zest, spices, or Parmesan.
$22 typical
The additional cost over a narrow rasp buys a wider blade area, stable paddle geometry, soft grip, rubber foot, and protective cover while retaining photo-etched cutting performance.
Sharp fine teeth produce zest, spices, and hard-cheese snow without mashing.
Improves control and angled board stability.
Compared with 8 other products in edition 1.
This product: 9 out of 10
Etched fine teeth are effective on zest, spices, and hard cheese.
The most confidence-inspiring flat fine grater for people who dislike a long skinny rasp. The wide paddle is handsome in a professional, purposeful way.
Expect many years if washed and dried promptly. The blade is not resharpenable, so reserve it for its fine-grating jobs.
