FAQ:
Can I use the round hole side for vegetables like carrots?
It’s not ideal for large vegetables. The round holes are best suited for small, firm items or roots.
Why is grated ginger better than chopped for certain recipes?
Grated ginger releases more juice and integrates better into liquids or pastes, providing stronger, smoother flavor.
Is the round hole side the same as the zester?
Not exactly. A zester creates longer threads, while the round holes create a moist, fine pulp or fluffy textures.
