Hospitality Connect stocks 129 graters and related prep tools for commercial kitchens, covering food graters, zesters, combined graters and peelers, and general kitchen utensils. Blade patterns run from fine through to coarse, with handheld, bench and box formats.
The choice is driven by the product and the volume. A coarse grater is the fastest way through hard cheese, carrot and potato in bulk prep. A fine grater or zester is for citrus peel, nutmeg, parmesan and garlic, where the aim is a light shred rather than volume. A bench or box grater gives a stable working position for long prep runs, while a handheld rasp is quicker to pick up for finishing a plate at the pass. Brands here include Microplane, Chef Inox and OXO, with trade pricing available.
