Norpro 355 Stainless Steel Potato Grater, Silver

Product Information

For the duxelles, melt the butter in a wide-based frying pan. Add the mushrooms and onion, sprinkle with the salt and cook them down in the butter over low heat for one hour, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is dark brown, dry and fragrant. Leave to cool, preferably overnight in the fridge.

An electric grater is even more useful for people with arthritis and seniors who have reduced hand strength. 2. What can I prepare with an electric grater? We particularly liked its design for making pav bhaji, a Mumbai-style vegetable mash served with airy buns. We didn’t want the vegetables overprocessed, but in nice chunks, and this wavy masher delivered on that. We found it to be versatile enough to muddle berries and fruits,mash potatoesand avocado, and process tomatoes for a classic tomato sauce. The grip was comfortable—even after repetitive mashing—and cleaning it was a breeze. The feeding tube and spout can be completely removed from the unit for easy cleaning. They are dishwasher-safe. What we like about it: Granted, it’s not the quietest way to get pots prepped, but it’s so incredibly convenient. And weirdly compelling to watch!

Sharp: Graters should be able to efficiently cut through hard vegetables or soft cheeses. You shouldn’t meet a lot of resistance when shredding or slicing on a good grater, and the results should be consistent enough to cook evenly or look attractive as a garnish. A sufficiently sharp zester will help remove just the right amount of citrus rind without ripping into the bitter pith.

The feeding tube is large to ensure you don’t make any messes especially with foods like nuts. The spout is also wide and angles downwards to direct shredded food onto a plate or bowl. Mozzarella: We shredded 4 ounces of mozzarella using the coarse holes on each box. We paid attention to whether cheese passed through the grater easily, creating even shreds, or if it crumbled into uneven blobs or sheared (broke into larger chunks that are then harder to shred). We also considered whether cheese flew off the face of the grater and made a mess. Comfortable: A grater’s handle should feel comfortable to grip and not be too unwieldy to hold onto for an extended period of time. Ideally, a handle also shouldn’t be slippery when wet. Next on our list is another food grater from Oxo. They make a huge range of really high-quality culinary tools and the Oxo Good Grips Box Grater is one of their best products. It pretty much looks just like a normal box grater, but it has one added feature that makes it extra useful. On the bottom of the grater, there’s an attachable container to catch whatever you’re grating. This tool will come in handy, especially for health nuts that like to measure their food because it has measurements on both sides. Plus, it has a small lid on top so you can also use the container to store food if you grate too much by accident. The material looked a little flimsy at first as it is made from heavy-duty plastic. However, upon testing it many times, it stood its ground and proved its durability. With the notched extension, we were able to securely anchor it over a bowl, and it stayed there without slipping. We found the contour of the handles easy to hold, but the height and width of the handles may not work for those with smaller hands.
