Etched teeth cut; stamped teeth tear and then flatten · review
A 22.9 cm (9 in) four-sided box grater in 18/0 stainless with a non-slip base — the shape every kitchen has, at the entry price.
What we would actually buy The stable base is the useful feature. The tooth manufacture — etched or stamped — is what the listing does not say.
A four-sided box grater 22.9 cm (9 in) tall in 18/0 stainless, with a stainless handle and a non-slip base.
The feature that matters. A grater that stays put needs less downward force, and less force is what keeps knuckles away from the teeth.
Whether the teeth are photo-etched or stamped. Etched teeth are chemically cut, stay sharp for years and slice cleanly; stamped teeth tear and flatten. Only one grater in this hub publishes it, and it is not this one.
Realistically two get used — coarse and fine. The slicing face on most box graters is one nobody trusts, and the fine face clogs.
On sale at around $10 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

Photo-etched teeth are chemically cut and look uniform and razor-edged; stamped teeth are punched and show a slight burr. Etched teeth cut for years; stamped ones tear and flatten.
A grater that skids needs more force, and force is what puts knuckles on the teeth. It is the most useful safety feature on the tool.
