- What cheeses does it grate well?
- It works best on hard and semi-hard cheeses such as Parmesan, Pecorino, aged Cheddar and Gruyère. Soft cheeses like mozzarella or feta smear and clump rather than shred.
- Is the wooden box dishwasher safe?
- No. Beechwood warps and cracks in a dishwasher. Wash the grater and drawer by hand in warm water and dry them right away.
- How much cheese does the drawer hold?
- The drawer is sized for a single grating session, enough for a pasta dish or a round of sandwiches. For large batches you will need to empty it partway through.
- Can I use it for anything besides cheese?
- The stainless surface can grate chocolate, nuts or citrus zest, but the fine shreds and oils from those foods are harder to clean out of the wood frame. It is designed around cheese.
- How do I keep the wood from cracking?
- Keep it out of standing water, dry it fully after washing, and rub food-safe mineral oil into the beechwood occasionally. Store it away from direct heat.
