What is the difference between a Y-peeler and a swivel peeler?

A Y-peeler has a horizontal blade set in a Y-shaped frame and is pulled toward you, giving strong control on hard-skinned vegetables like pumpkin and gourd. A swivel peeler has a blade in line with the handle that pivots to follow curves, making it well suited to potatoes, carrots and apples. This Alessi grater is a different category, designed for large-scale grating of cheese and nutmeg with its tall, conical shaft.

Are these graters rust-resistant for Indian kitchen conditions?

Models with stainless-steel blades, like this Alessi grater, hold up well to humidity and frequent washing. Wipe the blade dry after use and store in a ventilated drawer or utensil holder to keep the edge clean and sharp over time. The steel component is designed for durability.

How to use the Alessi Todo Giant Grater?

Hold the grater vertically over your bowl or plate. Place cheese or whole nutmeg against the steel grating surface and move it up and down the long cone shaft. The design allows for substantial grating with each full stroke, making it efficient for larger quantities.

Is the Alessi Todo Giant Grater dishwasher safe?

No, the Alessi Todo Giant Grater is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash is suggested to maintain the quality of the steel and wood components and preserve its aesthetic appeal as a decorative kitchen item.

What is the Alessi Todo Giant Grater made of?

This Alessi grater is constructed from durable steel for the grating surface and features a complementary wooden handle. This combination of materials provides both functionality and a premium, artistic look.

Can I grate nutmeg with this Alessi grater?

Yes, the Alessi Todo Giant Grater is designed for both cheese and nutmeg. Its long, conical grating surface is effective for whole nutmeg, allowing you to freshly grate it directly over your dishes.

Why choose this product

The Alessi Design Philosophy

Alessi is renowned for transforming everyday objects into works of art through collaborations with world-class designers. The 'Todo' grater embodies this ethos, offering superior functionality with a captivating aesthetic. Richard Sapper's personal experience inspired its unique, long-shaft design, ensuring it performs exceptionally while looking beautiful on your table. This imported piece brings Italian craftsmanship and design innovation directly to your kitchen, a distinct upgrade from utilitarian local alternatives.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It

This grater is perfect for those who appreciate high-end design, enjoy entertaining, and frequently grate cheese or nutmeg for family meals. It's ideal for individuals seeking a functional art piece for their kitchen or as a luxurious gift. Those who prefer dishwasher-safe convenience or require a compact grater might find its size and hand-wash recommendation less suitable. For everyday, high-volume grating needs where ease of cleaning is paramount, a simpler, smaller grater might be a better fit.

How to use

Ensure your cheese is firm enough to grate, or have whole nutmeg ready. Place the Alessi Todo Giant Grater vertically over a bowl or plate to catch the grated material. — Prepare Your Ingredients
Hold the grater firmly and move the cheese or nutmeg against the steel grating surface using an up-and-down motion along the long cone shaft. Apply steady pressure for best results. — Grate Efficiently
After use, hand wash the grater with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the steel and wood. Store upright in a dry place. — Clean and Store
