Norpro 355 Stainless Steel Potato Grater, Silver

Product Information

The motor is strong and can handle even hard foods without feeling like it will fall apart. The anti-skid feet keep it in place even on a smooth worktop. The name zrazy is plural – with a single one called a zraza. It supposedly refers to something getting “chopped up”, although growing up, I always assumed it referred to za raz (pronounced ZAH-rahz), which in Russian means “all-at-once” – exactly the way it was stuffed … into my mouth.

An electric grater is even more useful for people with arthritis and seniors who have reduced hand strength. 2. What can I prepare with an electric grater?If you are looking for a versatile grater without going into full food processor territory, this is a good option. Most electric graters are basically small food processors that can handle different kinds of foods including vegetables, nuts, cheese and fruits.

Pay attention to the construction of the perforations, which are the small holes that do the mashing and ricing. The size of the holes affects the consistency of the potatoes. Larger perforations result in more textured mashes that may be less even. For the fluffiest of results, we recommend choosing a masher or tool with small perforations. There are also mashers that feature a single wire head, which is simpler to use and a lot easier to clean but may be time-consuming and requires more effort to achieve a smooth mash. Neil Perry believes the most important thing is to know where your potato is grown. “Here in Sydney, we use The Gourmet Potato, from Wentworth Hill. All of his potatoes are grown in nutrient-rich, regenerated soils; this is sustainable farming at its best. They are being constantly harvested so are fresh and dense.”Easy to clean: It should be easy to wipe down graters to push out any remaining food bits, as well as to clean any baskets or attachments. Although we looked for dishwasher-safe graters, our experts recommended hand washing to prolong a grater’s sharpness. The feeding tube is large to ensure you don’t make any messes especially with foods like nuts. The spout is also wide and angles downwards to direct shredded food onto a plate or bowl. The design is very similar to the Meykey salad maker with a few differences. This one comes with 5 interchangeable stainless steel blades. The blades are colour-coded to make them easy to identify at a glance.
