EAtoCo Oros Hand Grater

Grate hard cheeses and zest citrus straight onto your dishes with this clever handheld grater from Japanese cookware maker EAtoCo. Its elegant curved shape is designed to slip over the knuckles of your non-working hand (or the rim of a mixing bowl), offering a more secure grip and better control than a rasp- or wand-style grater. We’re impressed by how easy it is to direct the flow of grated material with the Oros: Where larger graters tend to spray tendrils of Parmesan or bits of grated nutmeg all over your counter, this one keeps everything much more contained, making it ideal for finishing dishes with a shower of cheese or a sprinkling of lemon zest. And because its curved body and ultra-fine, razor-sharp teeth are both crafted from sturdy Japanese stainless steel, this grater will last for years of use. EAtoCo’s tools are handcrafted by highly-skilled craftsmen in Japan’s Tsubamesanjo District of the Niigata Prefecture—the country’s center for hardware production. Net Weight: 2.4 ounces Materials: 18-0 Stainless Steel (1.5-Millimeter Thickness) Dimensions: 5.1 inches x 2.4 inches Place of Origin: Japan Care: Hand-washing recommended. Ensure the grater is completely dry before use. How to Use: This grater’s razor-sharp teeth quickly shred hard cheeses, zest citrus rinds, pulverize whole nutmeg and reduce ginger root, garlic cloves and fresh turmeric to a fine pulp. The clever multi-use design fits easily over the knuckles of your non-working hand or the rim of a bowl so you can direct the grated material wherever it needs to go.
