- What are the two pieces in the Tovolo Elements Box?
- The set is a box grater with a handle plus a second grating piece, so you get coarse and fine options in one set. Both are stainless steel and dishwasher safe.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- Yes. Tovolo lists the set as dishwasher safe, so you can put it on the top rack after grating cheese or vegetables. Rinse off soft foods like zest first so they don't cling.
- How does it compare with a flat hand grater?
- The box body stands on its own and catches the grated food, which is tidier than a flat grater over a plate. The trade-off is size: at over 16 inches long it needs more storage room.
- What can I grate with it?
- Cheese, carrots, zucchini, potatoes and citrus zest are the usual jobs. The coarse side handles vegetables and block cheese, and the finer side suits zest and hard cheese.
- Is the handle comfortable to hold?
- The handle sits on top of the box so you can press down while grating. It is stainless steel like the body, so it is firm rather than cushioned.
- Does it take up a lot of drawer space?
- Yes. The long box shape is bulkier than a flat grater, so plan on a cabinet shelf or a hook rather than a crowded drawer.
