Twist Grater

The Joseph Joseph Twist Grater has been designed to adapt to different grating tasks and foods with ease. Not only does it have two different styles of etched stainless-steel blades set on either side of its grating surface...

it also has a handle that allows for two different grating positions for maximum convenience.

With the handle locked in the straight position, it's ideal for grating directly over plates and dishes. But when you twist and lock the handle, it creates a naturally sturdy shape for resting on the worktop, providing more support when grating larger quantities of food.

It comes with a reversible plastic sheath that protects the blades when stored but can be flipped to allow you to collect and measure grated food. Available in two colors and blade configurations - Coarse & Fine or Extra Coarse & Ribbon.

Bella Says...
"You're more than welcome to visit me
 at my kissing booth
with grated cheese on
your lips, !"

Bella's Tale  
 
"Some things just aren't natural. 
A pig in a tutu...


rabbits with horns...


me dressed like a Kardashian...
 
and dogs and cats wearing shoes..."
 
"Stop the madness!
No more kitten mittens & dog clogs!"
