A grater is a no-nonsense kitchen essential. What you need in a flat grater, especially when grating carrots or potatoes for salads or hash browns, is a strong handle that won't bend or slip as you scrape the vegetables along the sharp, serrated surface. The Norpro Potato Grater focuses on the basics sharp cutting slits, stainless-steel construction, and professional-gauge 6 mm stainless-steel handles on both ends. The handles provide two ways to get a sure grip on the grater as you complete the grating task. One handle is flat so that you can rest it against a counter or cutting board to find a comfortable grating angle. The other is a more traditional elongated handhold. Hang the grater from either handle for easy storage.
