The textured, raised pattern in the center-the red spiral-acts as the grating surface. Common Uses • Mincing: Easily grate garlic cloves, ginger, or turmeric directly on the plate to create a fine paste. • Infusing: After grating, you can add olive oil or balsamic vinegar to the same dish to create a dipping sauce for bread. • Other Grating: These are also effective for hard cheeses like Parmesan, chocolate, nuts, and fruit like apples or strawberries.
