Shun Grater

Shun Grater is a preparation tool for reducing suitable ingredients into small pieces for cooking or finishing a dish. Grating is useful when a recipe needs a distributed flavor or texture that is different from knife-cut slices or dice.

At a glance

• Grating preparation

  Use controlled strokes over the cutting surface and stop before your fingers approach the teeth.

• Stable working position

  Support the tool securely over a suitable board or container so it cannot shift as you grate.

• Clean the cutting surface

  Remove trapped food carefully rather than running bare fingers across the teeth.

Find your fit

Choose grating when the recipe calls for that texture, and use a knife when you need distinct, even pieces. Our guide to even vegetable cuts explains how a different preparation shape changes the finished ingredient.

Care and storage

Follow the tool’s cleaning instructions, rinse away residue promptly and let it dry before storing. Keep the cutting surface separated from loose utensils so it remains protected and easy to handle.
