The XL Coarse Grater has a wider grating surface compared to the other graters in the Gourmet series. This makes it ideal for larger foods such as cabbage, soft cheese, zucchini, carrots, potatoes, apples, and pumpkin. The wider grating surface not only allows for more efficient grating but also provides more room while grating. Use grated cabbage for a delicious coleslaw or prepare braised red cabbage with grated apples. You can also use freshly grated pumpkin for a creamy pumpkin soup.
