EAtoCo Oros Hand Grater

Grate hard cheeses and zest citrus straight onto your dishes with this clever handheld grater from Japanese cookware maker EAtoCo. Its elegant curved shape is designed to slip over the knuckles of your non-working hand (or the rim of a mixing bowl), offering a more secure grip and better control than a rasp- or wand-style grater. We’re impressed by how easy it is to direct the flow of grated material with the Oros: Where larger graters tend to spray tendrils of Parmesan or bits of grated nutmeg all over your counter, this one keeps everything much more contained, making it ideal for finishing dishes with a shower of cheese or a sprinkling of lemon zest. And because its curved body and ultra-fine, razor-sharp teeth are both crafted from sturdy Japanese stainless steel, this grater will last for years of use. EAtoCo’s tools are handcrafted by highly-skilled craftsmen in Japan’s Tsubamesanjo District of the Niigata Prefecture—the country’s center for hardware production.
