Grate, Zest, and Shred
A good grater is one of those tools you use without thinking about it — zesting a lemon into a sauce, shredding Parmesan over pasta, shaving chocolate onto a dessert, or reducing a clove of garlic to a paste. The difference between a sharp grater and a dull one is the difference between effortless prep and scraped knuckles. At Tarzian West for Housewares, Brooklyn's neighborhood kitchen store for over 50 years, we carry box graters, folding graters, rotary graters, zesters, and cheese mills in stainless steel and ceramic.
Box Graters — The Stainless Steel Box Grater 4 Sided and 4 Sided Stainless Steel Box Grater 6" for the standard four-surface grater — coarse, medium, fine, and slicing — all in one tool. The Mini Box Grater for a compact version suited to small quantities.
Folding Graters — The Etched Folding Grater and GEFU Rapino Folding Grater for flat graters that fold for storage, ideal for smaller kitchens and quick tasks like zesting over a plate.
Rotary Grater — The Rotary Grater for a hand-cranked drum grater — excellent for finely grating hard cheeses like Parmesan and Pecorino directly over a bowl or plate without losing much to the sides.
Zesters — The Stainless Steel Zester for a classic channel-style zester that strips citrus peel in long curls, or finely grates for zest.
Specialty — The Rosle Cheese Mill for a sleek countertop-style cheese grater with a crank handle and a drum mechanism. The IK Garlic Grater & Storage for ceramic garlic grating with integrated storage. The Porcelain Mortar & Grater for a dual-function porcelain bowl used for grinding spices and grating.
Safety — The Mercer Cut Resistant Glove for hand protection while using mandolines, box graters, and folding graters.
