The Artisan Coarse Grater is great for grating carrots, coconuts, walnuts, ginger and hard and semi-hard cheeses easily. This paddle-shaped cheese grater has an expansive surface area offering ample space to make fast work out of grating your favorite foods. The coarse blade also is recommended for grating carrots and coconuts. Harder vegetables and soft fruits are grated thin and even, while the fine blades produce excellent results with softer items like tomatoes, cheese or chocolate.
