OXO Grinders, Graters and Mills
OXO Good Grips products feature soft, flexible handles made out of Santoprene,
a processed rubber, to ensure a comfortable grip. Embedded 'fins' on handle sides flex under
pressure and conform to individual finger grips. The fins also give users control even when the
handle is wet or slippery. Our large handles are proportionately designed to fit easily in the palm.

Multi Grater — This grater can be used like a box grater as it will
stand flat on any surface or it can be hooked securely over a bowl. In either position the soft,
non-slip handle makes using it a pleasure. Two sides allow you to grate coarsely or finely. Plastic
with stainless steel grater blade. Soft, non-slip ergonomic handle. Use upright or flat over a bowl.
Snaps apart for easy cleaning. Folds flat for easy storage. Dishwasher safe. |

Box Grater — The OXO Good Grips Box
Grater features coarse, fine and super-fine grating surfaces and a
slicing surface. Grater is made of durable stainless steel
construction with a soft, comfortable non-slip handle. You can
catch, measure and store freshly grated ingredients in the storage
container and seal with the included lid. There is a non-slip bottom
ring on both the Grater and the container. The slim construction
easily fits into a drawer for compact storage. Dishwasher safe. |

Hand Held Grater — Grate twice as fast
with OXO's new Hand Held Grater. This Grater features a
bi-directional blade and is stamped with our unique pattern for
sharper edges. Ideal for grating hard cheeses, chocolate, citrus
zest, ginger, garlic nuts and more. The special bade is sharp enough
to easily cut through all foods without cutting your hand. The
large, accessible cutting surface measure 4-inches long by 2-inches
wide and is supported by a sturdy zinc body that prevents bending. A
non-slip bumper on the front edge lets you securely brace the Grater
on a countertop or plate with no scratches, and a contoured,
non-slip handle keeps the Grater secure in your hand. |

Herb Mincer — Chasing leafy fresh
herbs around with a big kitchen knife can be a time-consuming and
irritating chore. OXO offers an alternative with its Good Grips herb
mincer. A hand tool with a rocking design and four stainless-steel
blades, the mincer makes quick work of basil, mint, parsley, and
other herbs. The durable plastic housing sports the signature Good
Grips soft, non-slip grip and also ensures that fingers stay away
from the cutting action. Designed to separate into two pieces for
easy cleanup, the mincer is dishwasher-safe and comes with a
protective blade guard for storage. Other specialty prep tools in
this line include a mango splitter, a strawberry huller, and a corn
stripper. |

Seal and Store Rotary Grater — Cheese,
nuts, and chocolate can be grated ahead of time with this rotary
grater, and stored conveniently right inside the silicone-sealed
chamber until ready to use. Or, cut the exact size chunk you want to
grate, insert it, seal it, and just before serving you can churn out
a fresh sprinkle of parmesan on a casserole or flourish that whipped
cream topping with a dusting of dark chocolate shavings. To use,
squeeze the soft-grip handles with one hand, which causes the
silicone-edged feeder to push the food against the sharp
stainless-steel grating cylinder, and turn the soft rotating knob
with the other hand. A plastic cap on the barrel keeps grated pieces
contained, or removes to let the food grate directly into a bowl, on
a pie, etc. The stainless-steel grating cylinder measures 3 by 1½
inches, while overall the grater measures 6 by 5 by 3¼ inches.
Easily disassembled for cleaning, the entire grater is dishwasher
safe. |

Microplane Grater/Zester — For fluffy, evenly sized
cheese shreds, this is the perfect grater. Its design is based on
that of a rasp, the small and efficient woodworking tool. The
cutters are especially sharp, which guarantees easy grating. But
this also means you'll need to exercise extra caution--no one likes
grated knuckles. The large handle allows for a firm grip, and the
completely flat grating surface makes it easy to move the cheese
across the blades. Carrots, onions, and medium to firm cheeses all
worked beautifully with this grater. It's also an excellent choice
for larger strips of citrus zest or ginger. |
 |
Steel Grater — Freshly grated Parmesan makes all the difference
to your Caesar salad or pasta dish, heck, we even know a dog who likes some on her kibble!
(She's a little spoiled). A few quick strokes across the surface and you have a pile of grated
chocolate, hard cheese or zest ready to add flavor to your meal. This grater is as handsome to
look at as it is easy to use, like all the other OXO Steel gadgets. Stainless steel head grates
finely. Sleek, brushed stainless handle features soft slip-resistant sides. Dishwasher safe. |
