Why This Grater Earns a Permanent Spot in Your Kitchen
A great grater is one of those kitchen heroes that only reveals its true value once you've used a really good one. Sharp stainless steel blades, a solid grip, and a size that actually lets you work comfortably - these details make the difference between a chore and a pleasure. The KitchenAid Classic delivers all of that, wrapped in a bold Empire Red design that brings a genuine smile to your kitchen every single time you reach for it.

- Comfortable to hold and control - At 30 cm, this grater gives you a confident grip and enough surface area to work quickly and efficiently
- Built to last, easy to clean - Fully dishwasher safe, so cleanup is never an excuse to reach for the pre-grated stuff from a bag

Sharp Where It Counts - The Stainless Steel Difference
The secret to a genuinely satisfying grating experience is blade quality. The KitchenAid Classic Grater features sharp stainless steel grating teeth that do the actual cutting work - rather than just dragging or squashing ingredients. Whether you're grating a cold block of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano over a steaming bowl of pasta, finishing a chocolate mousse with a delicate dusting of dark chocolate, or adding vibrant citrus zest to your lemon drizzle cake, these blades handle it with precision and ease. No mashing, no effort, no frustration. Just clean, consistent results that genuinely improve the flavour and presentation of every dish you make.
The medium-fine grating surface is the sweet spot between too coarse (chunky, uneven) and too fine (powdery, lacking texture). It's the size that works across the widest range of ingredients - from hard cheeses and fresh ginger to nutmeg and firm chocolate. One grater, a dozen uses. That's the kind of versatility every kitchen deserves.
Design That Keeps You Coming Back
KitchenAid knows better than most that a beautiful kitchen tool is a tool you actually use. The Classic Grater in Empire Red is one of those pieces that earns its place on display rather than buried at the back of a drawer. The vivid red handle is ergonomically shaped to sit comfortably in your palm, giving you real control without fatigue - even during longer prep sessions. And because the frame is made from durable plastic with a stainless steel grating surface, you get the best of both worlds: lightweight handling and long-lasting performance.
After a session of grating? Simply place it in the dishwasher. No soaking, no scrubbing between tiny teeth with a brush, no fuss. Dishwasher safe means this tool is genuinely ready to keep up with how you actually cook - quickly, deliciously, and without unnecessary friction.
How to Get the Most From Your KitchenAid Grater
This is where the fun starts. Here are a few ways this grater will genuinely change how you finish your dishes:
- Cheese - Grate cold (not warm!) Parmesan or Pecorino for the fluffiest, most even cheese clouds over pasta, risotto, or soups
- Citrus zest - Run a whole lemon or orange over the surface in short, confident strokes for fragrant zest - instantly elevating cakes, salad dressings, and marinades
- Dark chocolate - Chill your chocolate block first, then grate it directly over a dessert for a professional finishing touch that tastes as good as it looks
- Fresh ginger - Grate raw ginger straight into stir-fries, soups, or dressings without the hassle of chopping or peeling thick chunks
- Whole nutmeg - Freshly grated nutmeg over a bechamel, a creamy soup, or even a warm mulled wine is a completely different experience from the pre-ground version - try it once and you'll never go back
💡 Tip: For the cleanest zest without any bitter white pith, use short, light strokes and rotate the citrus fruit frequently. The sharp stainless steel blades of this grater make it easy to stay in full control - so you get pure, fragrant zest every single time.
