Lemon Zester & Cheese Grater Set
Three Blades. Zest, Grate, Shred.

Fine Blade (11.8×1.45 in / 30×3.7 cm) — creates ultra-fine shreds, best for Parmesan, lemon zest, ginger, and spices. Coarse Blade (11.4×2.4 in / 29×6 cm) — medium holes for softer cheeses, chocolate shavings, and light vegetables. Extra Coarse Blade (11.4×2.4 in / 29×6 cm) — large holes for thick shreds of mozzarella, carrots, zucchini, and bulk veggie prep.

Yes — all three graters are dishwasher safe. Top rack is recommended to extend blade life. A cleaning brush is included so you can rinse blade holes under the tap before loading if needed.

Yes. Each grater has a snug-fitting hard shell cover that clicks into place. They're designed to protect the blade during storage — a common issue with bare graters that nick your fingers when reaching into a drawer.

Absolutely — that's one of its best uses. The Fine Blade creates delicate citrus zest from lemons, limes, and oranges without catching the bitter white pith underneath. It also works for orange peel, grapefruit, and yuzu.

Use the included cleaning brush — run it lightly along the blade under cold water before putting the graters in the dishwasher. Never press hard with your fingers directly on the blade surface. The 304 stainless steel doesn't retain odours, so a quick rinse usually does the job.

Yes — there's a mounting hole at the top of each grater. You can hang all three on a hook inside a cabinet door or on a wall-mounted strip. They're slim enough to store flat in a drawer with their covers on too.

Yes. Each blade is available individually on Amazon.ca — Fine (ASIN B0D1273R53), Coarse (ASIN B0D12C23NQ), and Extra Coarse (ASIN B0D12BPVML). The Set of 3 is the best value if you cook regularly, but single blades are great if you only need one specific size.

Both. The Fine Blade is a rasp-style zester: narrow teeth that lift only the coloured peel from lemons, limes and oranges and turn Parmesan, garlic, ginger and nutmeg into fine snow. The Coarse and Extra Coarse blades are graters with larger holes for shreds. Amazon lists the set as the Cambom Lemon Zester Grater for that reason.

Wash and dry the lemon, hold the Fine Blade at a low angle over a bowl, and draw the fruit across the teeth in one direction with light pressure. Turn the lemon after each pass so you only take the yellow layer; as soon as white shows through, move on. Tap the back of the blade to release the zest that clings to the underside.

You can, but the large holes of a box or coarse grater tear the peel and pull up pith, which tastes bitter. A zester's fine teeth shave the oil-rich outer layer only, so the zest is fluffier and the flavour cleaner. In this set that job belongs to the Fine Blade.

Fine Blade for Parmesan, garlic, ginger, nutmeg and citrus zest. Coarse Blade for chocolate shavings, cheddar and other soft or semi-soft cheeses. Extra Coarse Blade for mozzarella, carrots, zucchini and potatoes. Chocolate grates most cleanly when it comes straight from the fridge.

The rotary grater is a hand-crank drum for grating cheese and vegetables by the cup, fast. This handheld set is for finishing work: zesting citrus over a dish, dusting Parmesan onto pasta, grating a clove of garlic or a knob of ginger straight into a sauce. Many kitchens keep both; they do not replace each other.
