It is an extremely useful tool for zesting, grating, slicing etc, and if you are wondering whether you will be able to use it, let me take you through simple steps on How To Use A Coarse Grater At Home

-- Before you start using the grater, thoroughly clean it. For grating cheese, dried fruits, nutmeg, garlic and ginger, you can use the small hole grater.

-- Now set the Coarse Grater on a chopping board or a flat plate, with the trench side up. Hold it firmly by the handle and make sure the base of Coarse Grater sits firmly on the chopping board.
