Shred ginger without fibers
The round holes are ideal for grating ginger into a fine pulp while separating the tough fibers. This technique is excellent for marinades, teas, and stir-fries where a smooth ginger flavor is needed without the chewy texture.
Create garlic paste easily
Instead of mincing garlic, run cloves across the round hole side to create a fine paste. This is perfect for dressings, sauces, or rubbing onto meats where smooth garlic flavor is desired.
Finely grate hard cheeses
Use the round holes to shred hard cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino into fluffy mounds. This is ideal for garnishing pasta, soups, or salads with a delicate, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Zest spices and chocolate
Grate whole nutmeg for fresh spice in baking or beverages, or use the round holes to finely shave chocolate over desserts and drinks. It creates elegant curls and powdery toppings in seconds.
