Freshly grated Parmesan cheese? Hmm, an appetizingly spicy aroma is about to fill the kitchen. Finely grated, the Italian hard cheese classic is always used when the strong flavor needs to combine quickly and evenly with a dish. The many delicious risotto variations are an example of this, but finely grated Parmesan also provides the typical creaminess in a carbonara. Sauces and soups can be excellently seasoned and thickened with the fine powder, as it dissolves particularly quickly. The flavor is also well distributed in the fillings of ravioli or other pastries, and casseroles or gratins get an even golden brown crust.

However, the grater that produces such a fine Parmesan powder can do much more. It is also known as a crown grater - the name is derived from the characteristic shape of its blades: many small, upwardly curved prongs form small circles across the entire grating surface, reminiscent of miniature crowns. This structure is perfect for finely grating raw potatoes - for exactly the consistency we appreciate for fine potato dumplings. Apples for apple sauce, carrots, cucumbers or zucchinis for raw vegetables and onions for sauces or doughs can be processed just as effortlessly. The crown grater even masters the hard roots of horseradish or ginger thanks to the tried and tested arrangement of the blades. In short: a versatile grater for the aromatic kitchen that transforms even "hard chunks" into fine textures.

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.
