The wider Spring Chef grater, with a contoured shape and a removable rubber base.
What we would actually buy Spring Chef’s wider model, with a contoured shape and more holding capacity — and a published weight of 180 grams, which is less than the narrower version it replaces. The useful features are the same as that one.
Our new extra wide size… wider than our original grater… a greater holding capacity.
No figure in inches. Which makes “extra wide” a comparison with one thing only: Spring Chef’s own narrower model, also on this shelf at $11.99.
Three graters here do publish dimensions you can measure against: GORILLA GRIP at 5 × 3.1 × 9.2 in, Norpro at 9.25 × 4.25 × 3.25 in, and Martha Stewart and KitchenAid give heights of 9.5 and 10 inches in their titles.
Width is a real variable — a broader face takes a wider stroke and clears a block faster. You just cannot place this one without asking.
This XL — $13.99 — 180 g Spring Chef standard — $11.99 — 308 g
A wider grater of the same construction cannot weigh forty-two per cent less. One of the two published figures is wrong, and the dimensions do not settle it: 251 × 142 × 127 mm (9.88 × 5.59 × 5 in) here against 140 × 121 × 241 mm (5.51 × 4.76 × 9.49 in) there, which read as different orientations rather than different products.
Treat both as unreliable.
Two things, and Spring Chef names the second outcome correctly.
It stiffens the panel. A curve resists bending where a flat sheet does not — which is why a thin flat grater flexes under a hard block of cheddar, and a flexing face makes the cutting edges skip.
It moves your hand off the cutting line. A contoured body lets you grip near the face without reaching across it.
Spring Chef ties it to grating cheese and soft foods — and soft foods are exactly the case where a steady face matters more than force, because mozzarella or a ripe courgette smears when the panel moves.
The trade is storage: a contoured body does not stack and does not sit flat in a drawer. OXO on this shelf sells its slim build specifically for that, and KitchenAid warns you to check the dimensions against your cupboard.
It also prevents food from escaping out the bottom of the grater.
The only listing family on this shelf to name this, and it is the real one. A box grater has no bottom — four grating faces and open air. Grate on a board and a share of the cheese comes out under the bottom edge.
A rubber bottom seals it. And it is removable, so cheese cannot pack in behind a fixed rim — the same point GORILLA GRIP makes here.
No width in inches, which is the one figure this listing is built around.
No steel grade. Urbanstrive, Cuisipro and WALDWERK publish 304 on this shelf; the other ten say “stainless steel”. The cheap grade sold under the same word is 430, which rusts at the punched edges.
No blade process. Only WALDWERK addresses it: other manufacturers cheaply stamp the blades… we etch them.
No container, and no warranty.
On sale at around $14 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

The listing does not say, which is the gap in it. Spring Chef describes this as "our new extra wide size... a contoured shape that is wider than our original grater" with "a greater holding capacity", and publishes no figure in inches. Three graters on this shelf do publish dimensions you can compare: GORILLA GRIP at 5 × 3.1 × 9.2 in, Norpro at 9.25 × 4.25 × 3.25 in, and Martha Stewart and KitchenAid give heights of 9.5 and 10 inches in their titles. Without a number here, "extra wide" can only be read against Spring Chef’s own narrower model, which is also on this shelf at $11.99. Width does matter on a grater — a broader face takes a wider stroke and gets through a block faster — but you cannot compare this one without asking.
For the width, possibly; the published weights argue the other way and cannot both be right. This is $13.99 and 180 g (6.3 oz); the maker’s narrower model is $11.99 and 308 g (10.9 oz). A wider grater of the same construction cannot weigh forty-two per cent less, so one figure is wrong. On everything else the two listings are near-identical: the same four sides, the same sharp stainless blades, the same removable rubber bottom that prevents slipping and stops food escaping out of the bottom, the same dishwasher claim, the same "skip the food processor" argument. So the question is purely whether you want the wider face. If you grate whole blocks regularly, yes. If you grate a handful of parmesan, the narrower one is two dollars less.
It changes where your hand goes and how hard you can push. A plain box grater is a rectangular prism — four flat faces, a handle on top or at the side. A contoured body curves, which does two things: it gives the panel a degree of stiffness a flat sheet does not have (a curve resists bending, which is why a flat grater flexes under a hard block and a curved one less so), and it lets the hand sit closer to the cutting line without reaching across it. Spring Chef ties it to the right outcome — "makes grating cheese and soft foods easy", soft foods being the ones that demand a steady face rather than force. The trade is storage: a contoured body does not stack or sit flat in a drawer, where OXO on this shelf sells its slimness specifically for that.
Close prices, same category: comparable cookware and knives. We keep only the specifications all of them publish, because a column with gaps compares nothing.
