Graters

Kitchen Graters are essential food prep tools for fast, consistent grating, shredding and zesting in professional kitchens. This range covers box graters, handheld fine and coarse graters, zesters and specialist cheese graters from leading brands. Ideal for restaurants, cafes, hotels and catering operations, they help you prep cheese, vegetables, citrus and chocolate with speed and precision. Durable commercial designs support hygiene, efficiency and reliable performance in busy Irish kitchens.

• Box and multi-sided graters for versatile grating options in one compact tool.
• Handheld fine, medium and coarse graters for cheese, citrus zest, spices and garnishes.
• Long and narrow blade graters for controlled grating directly over plates or pans.
• Professional zesters for clean citrus peel and delicate flavouring work.
• Heavy duty stainless steel constructions designed for frequent commercial use.
• Ergonomic, non-slip handles and tips to improve grip and safety during service.

How to choose the right Kitchen Graters

• Match the grating surface (fine, medium, coarse or shaver) to your main tasks such as cheese, vegetables, chocolate or citrus zest.
• Consider whether you need a box grater for all-round use or slim handheld graters for precise finishing and plating.
• Choose heavy duty stainless steel models for high volume restaurants, hotels and contract catering kitchens.
• Look for ergonomic handles and non-slip bases or tips to keep staff comfortable and safe during long prep shifts.
• Check overall length and footprint so graters fit your existing prep stations, storage racks and utensil holders.
• Opt for branded professional graters when you need consistent results and long-term durability.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse graters immediately after use to prevent cheese and vegetable residues from drying and becoming difficult to remove.
• Use soft brushes or cloths rather than abrasive pads to protect sharp cutting edges and stainless steel surfaces.
• Follow manufacturer guidance on dishwasher safety and avoid high temperature cycles if not recommended.
• Store graters in utensil racks or protective sleeves to prevent bent teeth and accidental hand injuries.
• Inspect handles and non-slip tips regularly, replacing any damaged graters to maintain safe operation.
• Dry thoroughly before storage to minimise corrosion and keep tools hygienic for food contact.
