4-Side Stainless Steel Box Grater (18cm)

The Eppicotispai 4-side box grater is made entirely from stainless steel, with a top loop handle and open base. At 18 cm tall it sits comfortably on a chopping board while you work, with enough grating surface to handle most prep tasks without the grater shifting around. Made in Italy.

Four Grating Surfaces

Each side serves a distinct purpose, so one tool covers most of what you'd reach for a grater to do. The coarse side handles hard cheeses and root vegetables quickly; the medium side is well suited to semi-soft cheeses and carrots; the fine side works for Parmesan, nutmeg and citrus zest; the slicer side gives thin, even cuts for cucumber, courgette or fennel.

• Coarse: hard cheeses, root vegetables, raw beetroot
• Medium: semi-soft cheeses, carrots, courgettes
• Fine: Parmesan, nutmeg, lemon and orange zest
• Slicer: cucumber, fennel, courgette ribbons

All-Stainless Construction

The grater is all stainless steel with no plastic components, no rubber base and no non-metal parts to crack or degrade. The top loop handle gives a secure grip while grating and makes it easy to lift cleanly off the board. The open base means grated food collects directly on the surface below, with nothing to trap residue inside.

• Full stainless steel body, handle and grating surfaces
• Top loop handle for controlled grip
• Open base, no internal tray or container
• Dishwasher safe

Made in Italy by Eppicotispai

Eppicotispai manufacture kitchenware near Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. Their tools are built from stainless steel without shortcuts in construction, and this grater fits that pattern: no mixed materials, no components that wear out before the tool itself does.

Why Choose This Grater

A box grater with a plastic handle or rubber base will eventually crack or perish. This one is all metal, so there's nothing to replace and nothing to work loose. Four surfaces, one piece, made in Italy at a price that makes it an easy call for any kitchen that takes cheese seriously.

What does the 18 cm measurement refer to?

The 18 cm is the height of the grater body. It's a practical size for most home kitchens, tall enough to give a decent grating surface without being unwieldy on a standard chopping board.

Is this grater dishwasher safe?

Yes. The all-stainless construction means it can go in the dishwasher without warping or degrading. Rinsing immediately after use, particularly after grating cheese, will keep the surfaces cleaner between washes.

Does the open base mean it's unstable?

No. The four sides give it a rigid, self-supporting structure that stays stable on a flat surface. The open base is a design choice: grated food drops directly onto the board rather than collecting in a tray, which makes it easier to transfer and easier to clean.

What's the difference between the fine side and a rasp grater?

A rasp grater produces finer, fluffier results and is better for finishing Parmesan over pasta or grating hard spices like nutmeg. The fine side on a box grater is more practical for larger quantities. If you use both regularly, the Eppicotispai rasp grater pairs well with this one.

Can I use this for chocolate?

Yes, the fine or medium side works for grating chocolate, though chilling the chocolate first makes it easier to handle and produces cleaner results.
