Anyone who enjoys cooking with fresh ingredients appreciates it when everything comes together smoothly during prep and the process is quick and hassle-free. That’s where the Two-Way Grater shines: whether it’s chocolate for dessert, nutmeg for béchamel sauce, fresh ginger for tea, or radish for a salad—its sharp blades work exceptionally efficiently. Instead of producing crumbly shavings, its blades cut fine strips from a block of chocolate—once as the block is guided down the grater, and a second time “on the way back” as your hand guides the block back up the grater. The rule of thumb is: the more compact the ingredient, the better. With this two-way grater, you can turn Parmigiano Reggiano, Pecorino Romano, Gruyère, or Kefalotiri into fine cheese shavings in no time. But this grater also shines when it comes to raw vegetables or citrus peels, producing fine flakes that save time and preserve flavor.

At home in the blade city of Solingen and specializing in razor-sharp tools for the catering trade and kitchen since 1946, the manufacturer Triangle knows exactly what is important when it comes to kitchen graters. The blades of these stainless steel graters are exceptionally sharp: the zester lifts fine particles cleanly from the citrus peel instead of crushing them. The graters turn chocolate and hard cheese into wafer-thin flakes, while the coarse grater produces firm, crunchy pieces when grating potatoes and vegetables. The crown grater turns apples into fine mash and raw potatoes into the perfect textured mass for perfect potato dumplings.

At the base of each grater, the frame runs in two small arches that fit on the edge of the bowl or pot. Placed there, the grater has a reliable grip. The Triangle graters are also very stable on the chopping board: two knobs on the lower frame prevent slipping. What's more, a catcher can be clipped onto the grating surface to collect the precious grated food like a funnel. No matter how hard you work, the fine grated particles of nutmeg or Parmesan will end up exactly where they should - on the dish - and not scattered over the work surface or tablecloth. The catcher can be easily removed for cleaning or when not in use. Turned upside down and placed over the grating surface, it also offers effective protection: on the one hand, it protects any fingers from injury when reaching into the depths of the kitchen drawer, and on the other, it protects the grater from contact with other utensils stored there - so the blades remain sharp and functional for a long time.
