Four Sided Box Grater with Slicer, Polished Stainless Steel in 5 Colors

A four-sided box grater in polished stainless steel, with a coarse side, a medium side, a fine rasp and a slicer, so cheese, carrots, potatoes, cucumber and lemon zest all come off the same tool. It stands open on the board while you work, then goes back on the counter in gold, silver, rose gold, red or rainbow, looking like something you chose rather than something you put up with.

No separate zester. No mandoline dragged out for half a cucumber. Turn it to the side you need and carry on.

Four sides, and each one does a different job

You already know how a box grater works. What matters is how many jobs the four sides actually cover, and on this one each face is cut differently. The front carries ten rows of large raised teardrop cutters that turn a potato or a block of cheddar into thick strips for hash browns, a gratin or the top of a bowl of chili. Turn it round and the back has a much tighter grid of small raised holes for finer shreds, the kind that melt straight into a sauce or settle evenly over a bowl of pasta.

The two narrow sides finish the set. One is a rasp of tiny sharp teeth for lemon zest and garlic. The other has three curved blades for thin, even rounds of cucumber or potato. Four cuts, one handle.

It stands on its own while you grate

The box is open at the top and at the bottom, and it widens gently toward the base, so it stands upright on a cutting board or in a wide bowl. You hold it down by the rolled handle across the top, grate down the outside, and most of what you grate drops through the holes and gathers inside. Lift the grater away and the shreds are sitting in one neat pile, ready to go into the pan, instead of scattered across the counter.

A thin folded rim runs round the bottom edge, and the handle is a rounded bar rather than a thin strip of metal, which is much kinder to your palm when you are leaning on it through a whole block of cheese.

A grater you can leave out on the counter

Most graters live in a drawer because nobody wants to look at them. This one comes in five mirror-polished finishes that catch the light from a window. Gold is a warm yellow gold, Silver is classic bright stainless steel, and Rose Gold is a soft pink copper. Red runs from deep red at the handle to amber lower down, and Rainbow shifts through pink, violet, blue and green as you walk past it.

At 9.3 inches tall with a base about four inches by three, it still fits a utensil drawer or a corner of the counter beside the knife block. A wipe with a damp cloth puts the shine back, and the next time dinner needs something grated, sliced or zested, the tool for all of it is already standing there.
