Etched teeth cut; stamped teeth tear and then flatten · review
A 10-inch four-sided grater at 458 g (16.2 oz), with a lidded container graduated to two cups.
What we would actually buy Ten inches, four hundred and fifty-eight grams, and a lidded container graduated to two cups — the same price as KitchenAid’s other Gourmet grater, which is listed at half the weight. One of those two figures is wrong.
Height on a box grater is stroke length, and that is not a minor thing.
You grate by dragging food down a face. A taller face means more cutting holes traveled per pass — so a block of cheddar takes fewer strokes, and your forearm does less work for the same bowl of cheese.
The cost is storage, and KitchenAid’s own other listing on this shelf is the one that admits it: check the dimensions “to ensure it fits your storage space”. OXO answers the same problem by selling a slim body that fits a drawer.
A ten-inch tower with a container underneath goes in few cupboards.
Third best on this shelf for metal per dollar, at 22.9 g (0.8 oz)/$:
Mass on a grater is panel stiffness. A thin face flexes when you press hard cheese against it, and a flexing face makes the cutting edges skip — which is what most people call bluntness.
The two at $19.99 describe the same product: four surfaces, a detachable container with the same 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 and 2 cup markings, a lid, a soft-grip handle, freezer and microwave safe. They differ in color — and in a published weight that is double.
And the black one carries exactly the same dimensions as the 499 g (17.6 oz) model at 227 g (8 oz), which in the same material is not plausible.
One of those figures is wrong. If the weights hold, this is the better of the two $19.99 graters. If they do not, choose by color.
1/2 cup, 1 cup, 1-1/2 cup, 2 cup markings… includes a lid.
And freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe — so it is a storage pot, not just a catcher. Grate, lid it, freeze it, microwave from it.
Of the six graters on this shelf with a container, only the KitchenAids publish cup graduations at all; GORILLA GRIP says “includes measurements” without figures, and OXO and Urbanstrive publish none.
What is missing here is the total capacity. KitchenAid’s own 4-Sided model publishes “a 3-cup container” — a cup more than its highest marking. It is reasonable to expect something similar, and the page does not say.
No warranty on this listing. KitchenAid’s 4-Sided at $24.99 publishes “1-year Hassle-Free replacement and lifetime limited”; the two $19.99 Gourmet listings publish nothing.
No width or depth in inches — only the 10-inch height in the title.
No steel grade. Urbanstrive, Cuisipro and WALDWERK publish 304 on this shelf; ten say only “stainless steel”, and the cheap grade sold under that word is 430, which rusts at punched edges.
No blade process, which only WALDWERK addresses: other manufacturers cheaply stamp the blades… we etch them.
No non-slip base stated, where eleven graters here have one — and Spring Chef explains that a rubber base also stops grated food escaping under the bottom edge.
On sale at around $20 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

On the published figures, this one — because it is listed at twice the weight for the same money. KitchenAid has three graters on this shelf: this Gourmet Box Grater in charcoal gray at $19.99 and 458 g (16.2 oz), the Gourmet Box Grater with Measuring Container in black at $19.99 and 227 g (8 oz), and the 4-Sided with storage container at $24.99 and 499 g (17.6 oz). The two at $19.99 describe the same thing — four surfaces, a detachable container with the same 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 and 2 cup markings, a lid, a soft-grip handle, freezer and microwave safe — and differ in color and in a published weight that is double. One figure must be wrong. If the weights hold, this is the better buy; if they do not, the two are interchangeable and you should choose by color.
Yes, more than it sounds, because height is stroke length. A box grater works by dragging food down a face, and a taller face means more cutting holes traveled per pass — so a block of cheddar takes fewer strokes and your arm does less work. At 10 inches this is the tallest grater on this shelf: Martha Stewart is 9.5, Norpro 9.25, GORILLA GRIP 9.2 despite calling itself XL. The cost is storage, which KitchenAid’s own other listing raises explicitly — it warns buyers to check the dimensions "to ensure it fits your storage space" — and which OXO answers by selling a slim body that fits a drawer. A ten-inch tower with a container under it fits in few cupboards.
Graduated to two cups, and the total is not published — which is a gap the KitchenAid family itself exposes. This listing and the black Gourmet both publish markings at 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 1-1/2 cup and 2 cup. KitchenAid’s 4-Sided model at $24.99 publishes something more useful: "a 3-cup container fits inside the box grater", with the same markings to 2 cups. So on that model the container holds a cup more than its highest graduation, and it is reasonable to expect something similar here — but the page does not say. Of the six graters on this shelf with a container, the 4-Sided KitchenAid is the only one that publishes a volume at all.
Close prices, same category: comparable cookware and knives. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.
