When sautéed in oil as if for a stir-fry, different ginger samples cooked evenly and in roughly the same amount of time, and their flavor and texture were nearly indistinguishable from sample to sample. One inch of ginger was all it took to tell me this is the most superior ginger grating tool out there.

They work as a great option for grating garlic cloves, achieving fine chocolate shavings, or shredding hard cheeses.

You could find a place for this tool in any drawer—or, since it has a small hole at the end, any hook—in your kitchen.

What remains is, depending on the amount, a unique sharpness in flavor which is a wonderful seasoning for many dishes.

Often, when I use a rasp (again, rectangular teeth) I get to a point where ginger pieces are stuck to the backside, the holes are clogged up, and no more ginger will grate no matter how many times I run the root up and down the plank. Models with etched or stamped holes made quicker work of grating than did those with “crowns” (bigger, ragged-edged etched holes), teeth, or nubs, taking less than a minute to produce 1 tablespoon of puree. Yes, the tool is made for grating ginger, but it also works well with turmeric and garlic, the latter of which grates to an even finer paste than when grated with a rasp.Freshly grated ginger is a common component of recipes both sweet and savory, lending its distinctive aroma to cookies, cakes, and chutneys as well as stir-fries, glazes, sauces, and soups. The non-slip rubber foot and handle ensures stability and safety while its sleek design is an absolute eye-catcher. If you grate ginger with the zester, the fine or the star blade, it gets a soft, moist consistency and dissolves completely in dressings, sauces, marinades or soups.
