Peelers & Graters

The Microplane Gourmet Coarse Grater is a hand-held grating tool designed for professional food preparation. It produces coarse shreds suitable for vegetables such as potatoes and carrots, as well as harder ingredients like cheese and chocolate. The stainless steel blade is photo-etched rather than stamped, which means the cutting edges are genuinely sharp from the outset and stay that way through consistent use.

In a busy prep kitchen, a grater that drags or clogs slows down mise en place and adds unnecessary effort to repetitive tasks. This Microplane cuts cleanly on each pass, reducing the force required and allowing prep cooks to work through volume without the fatigue that comes with lower-quality tools. The coarse shred it produces is consistent in texture, which matters when the finished result is visible on the plate.

• Sharp stainless steel blade reduces prep effort and speeds throughput
• Ergonomic soft-touch handle supports comfort during extended prep sessions
• Non-slip rubber end cap provides stability on flat prep surfaces
• Paddle design offers a broad grating surface for efficient passes
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward end-of-service cleaning

The grater requires no installation considerations — it is a hand tool that needs only storage space and a place in your cleaning routine. It is dishwasher safe, which keeps it practical in a professional environment where hand-washing every utensil at the end of a long service is rarely realistic.

This grater is well suited to smaller operations, single-section prep stations, and kitchens where hand-grating forms part of regular mise en place. For very high-volume sites producing large quantities of grated ingredients continuously, a table-top drum grater or similar mechanical solution may be a more appropriate option to consider alongside hand tools like this one.

If you are equipping a new kitchen and want to talk through what smallwares and prep tools make practical sense for your setup, we are happy to help.

The Deglon Stop Glisse medium grater is a hand-held stainless steel grater designed for daily prep use in professional kitchens. The Stop Glisse range is built around a non-slip grip principle — the TPR and polypropylene handle is engineered to remain secure even when hands are wet or greasy, which matters during a busy prep shift where focus needs to stay on speed and consistency rather than tool control.

In practice, the grater handles a broad range of prep tasks reliably. The medium grating surface is well suited to raw vegetables such as carrots and courgettes, firm fruits including apples, hard and semi-soft cheeses, and ingredients like fresh ginger and whole nuts. The stainless steel blades hold their edge under regular daily use, and the construction is straightforward enough to clean quickly at the end of service.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Non-slip TPR and polypropylene handle stays secure with wet hands
• Medium grating surface covers vegetables, hard cheese, fruit, and ginger
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is dishwasher compatible
• Lightweight build at 145g suits extended prep sessions without fatigue
• Lifetime warranty from Deglon reflects the build quality of the range

This grater is a practical everyday prep tool rather than a high-volume processing solution. For kitchens grating large quantities consistently throughout service, a box grater or a mechanical prep attachment may be more appropriate. The Stop Glisse medium is well suited to smaller operations, garde manger sections, and as a reliable backup tool in larger kitchens.

If you are equipping a prep section and want to discuss the right grater size or format for your volume, the team is happy to help.

The Deglon Stop Glisse is a hand-held fine grater designed for professional prep work. At 310mm in length with a 65mm grating surface, it sits comfortably between a compact box grater and a specialist microplane, making it a practical everyday tool for pass and prep environments alike. The stainless steel grating surface produces a fine, consistent texture suited to hard cheeses such as Parmesan, whole spices, fresh ginger, chocolate, and citrus zest.

In a working kitchen, consistency and control during prep matter. The Stop Glisse is built with a TPR and polypropylene handle that keeps the tool secure even with wet or fats-covered hands — a practical consideration during a busy mise en place session. The fine blade teeth are sharp enough to work efficiently without requiring excessive pressure, which reduces hand fatigue during longer prep runs.

• Non-slip TPR and polypropylene handle stays secure during extended prep
• Sharp stainless steel teeth produce a fine, even grate with minimal effort
• Suited to hard cheeses, whole spices, ginger, chocolate and citrus zest
• Lightweight at 145g, comfortable for prolonged use without fatigue
• Stainless steel construction cleans easily and resists corrosion

There are no particular installation or setup requirements — this is a hand tool that integrates immediately into any prep workflow. It is dishwasher-safe in most commercial machines, though hand-washing will preserve blade sharpness over time. The lifetime warranty from Deglon Sabatier reflects the build quality expected of professional-grade smallwares.

This grater is well suited to small to medium kitchens, catering operations, and pass work where a reliable fine grater is needed regularly. For operations requiring very high-volume grating of block cheeses or similar, a rotary or electric alternative may be worth considering. If you are equipping a new section or unsure which grater format best suits your prep volumes, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Nisbets Essentials box grater is a straightforward four-sided prep tool designed for everyday grating and slicing tasks in a commercial kitchen environment. Each face offers a different cut — from coarse and medium grating through to fine grating and single-slice — giving the user flexibility without needing to swap between tools mid-prep.

Constructed from stainless steel with a plastic handle, it holds up well to routine use across a range of ingredients, including root vegetables, hard cheeses, and softer produce. The plastic handle provides a stable grip during use, which matters when working quickly through a prep list. At 140g it is light enough to handle comfortably for extended periods without fatigue.

In practical terms, this kind of box grater suits kitchens where grating and shredding tasks are a regular part of prep but not so high in volume that a power attachment or mandoline would be warranted. It is a reliable hand tool for a small team or as a secondary option in a larger operation.

• Four grating surfaces reduce the need for multiple tools during prep
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and stands up to regular use
• Dishwasher safe, keeping cleaning quick between service periods

It is worth being realistic about its place in the kitchen: for high-volume operations processing large quantities of cheese or vegetables daily, a powered attachment or purpose-built grater would be a more practical investment. This tool is well suited to lower-volume prep, staff meal production, or as a backup in a well-stocked utensil drawer.

If you are putting together a prep utensil kit and want to make sure you are selecting the right tools for your service volumes, the team are happy to help.

The Deglon Stop Glisse is a hand-held zester grater designed for fine grating tasks in professional kitchen prep. Built around a stainless steel grating surface and fitted with a combined TPR and polypropylene handle, it is intended to give a secure, controlled grip during repetitive prep work — the kind of grip that matters when you are zesting a dozen lemons or grating parmesan to order across a busy service.

In practice, this is the sort of tool that earns its place in a mise en place station or pastry section. The fine blade profile is well suited to citrus zesting, fresh ginger, hard cheeses, chocolate, and whole spices. The grating action is consistent, which helps when uniformity of texture matters — in a sauce, a garnish, or a baked product.

• Secure TPR and polypropylene handle reduces hand fatigue during extended prep
• Fine stainless steel blade suited to citrus zest, ginger, parmesan, chocolate, and spices
• Solid construction supports regular daily use without flex or instability
• Straightforward to rinse and clean between tasks
• Lifetime warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in long-term durability

There are no installation requirements to consider — this is a hand tool. It is worth noting that while it performs well for fine zesting and grating, it is not designed for coarser grating tasks; kitchens needing a range of grating grades would benefit from holding a few grater types alongside this one.

This grater is a practical choice for any professional kitchen where fine zesting or grating forms part of regular prep — particularly in pastry, larder, or garnish sections. If you are unsure whether this suits your specific prep requirements, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Vogue Serrated Speed Peeler is a straightforward prep tool designed for everyday vegetable preparation in commercial kitchens. The serrated blade is particularly effective on produce with uneven or waxy skins — root vegetables, courgettes, and similar items — where a plain blade tends to slip rather than bite cleanly. The stainless steel blade and polypropylene handle are standard materials for this type of tool, chosen for hygiene compliance and durability under repeated use.

In a busy kitchen environment, speed peelers tend to be used hard and replaced regularly. The serrated edge on this model holds its effectiveness well on fibrous or firm-skinned produce, reducing the effort required from prep staff during high-volume sessions. It sits comfortably in the hand for extended use, which matters when a commis is working through a full sack of vegetables ahead of service.

• Serrated blade handles waxy and uneven-skinned produce effectively
• Stainless steel construction supports food-safe cleaning and hygiene standards
• Polypropylene handle provides a secure grip during extended prep
• Lightweight and easy to handle for repetitive peeling tasks
• Simple to clean and suitable for dishwasher use in most commercial settings

There are no installation requirements — this is a hand tool. It is worth keeping a small stock of speed peelers in any kitchen where vegetable prep is a regular part of the day's work, as blades do dull over time and having replacements on hand avoids prep delays. For kitchens with very high throughput, a julienne or mandoline-style tool may complement this peeler rather than replace it.

This peeler suits any professional kitchen that handles daily vegetable prep — from small independent restaurants through to contract catering and school kitchens. If you are unsure whether this or a different style of peeler better fits your prep workflow, the team is happy to help.

The Deglon Stop Glisse is a coarse box-style grater from Deglon Sabatier, a French manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in professional kitchen cutlery and prep tools. The Stop Glisse is built specifically for commercial prep environments, where comfort and control during extended use matter as much as the quality of the cut.

In practical kitchen use, the grater performs reliably across a range of ingredients — raw root vegetables such as carrots and beetroot, firm fruits, harder semi-soft cheeses, and nuts. The coarse blade configuration produces consistent results without tearing or compressing the ingredient, which is particularly useful when grated product forms part of a dish's presentation or texture.

A few operational advantages worth noting:

• Stainless steel blades hold their edge well under regular daily use
• The TPR and polypropylene handle provides a secure grip, reducing hand fatigue during long prep sessions
• The non-slip base design keeps the grater stable on a work surface, which improves both speed and safety
• At 145g, it is light enough to handle comfortably without sacrificing rigidity
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

This is a single-function hand grater rather than a multi-sided box grater, so it suits kitchens where coarse grating is a defined, regular prep task. It is not intended to replace a rotary or electric grater in very high-volume environments where speed and throughput are the primary concern. For kitchens processing larger quantities, a heavier-duty or electric alternative would be worth considering.

The Stop Glisse is well suited to small to mid-sized operations — restaurants, cafés, and catering teams where quality prep tools need to be durable and consistent without adding unnecessary cost or complexity to the kit list.

If you are putting together a prep tool specification or are unsure which grater format suits your service style, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Vogue Narrow Blade Fine Grater is a straightforward stainless steel hand grater designed for fine shredding and zesting tasks in commercial prep kitchens. The narrow blade profile makes it practical for working over small bowls or plates with reasonable control, and the stainless steel construction handles repeated washing without deteriorating.

In a busy kitchen environment, hand graters like this tend to sit alongside prep work for garnishing, finishing dishes, or portioning hard cheeses and whole spices. The fine grating surface produces a consistent result without tearing, which matters when presentation is part of the dish. The polypropylene handle provides a secure grip during use, reducing the risk of slipping when hands are wet — a practical consideration in any working kitchen.

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and tolerates commercial dishwashing
• Fine grating surface suited to hard cheeses, citrus zest, nutmeg, and similar ingredients
• Narrow blade profile aids control when grating directly over small vessels
• Polypropylene handle maintains grip during wet prep conditions
• Lightweight at 150g, easy to handle during extended prep sessions

There are no installation or utility requirements to consider. This is a hand-held prep tool — it simply needs storing cleanly and inspecting regularly for blade wear or damage, as with any grating equipment in a commercial setting.

This grater is well suited to smaller operations, grab-and-go kitchens, or as a reliable backup tool in larger kitchens where a box grater or rotary grater handles the bulk of prep. For very high-volume grating tasks, a rotary or mechanical option may be worth considering instead.

If you're unsure whether this fits your prep workflow or you'd like guidance on grating tools more broadly, the team is happy to help.

The OXO Swivel Peeler is a straightforward stainless steel hand tool designed for everyday vegetable preparation in commercial kitchens. The swivel blade follows the natural contour of root vegetables and other produce, removing only a thin layer of skin rather than cutting deep into the flesh — a small but meaningful advantage when working through large quantities of expensive ingredients.

In a busy kitchen environment, the anti-slip handle makes a practical difference during extended prep sessions. It reduces the hand fatigue that builds up when staff are peeling continuously, and maintains control even when hands are wet. The stainless steel blade holds an edge well under regular use and is easy to rinse clean between tasks.

• Swivel blade follows vegetable contours for minimal waste
• Anti-slip handle reduces fatigue during extended prep
• Stainless steel construction for durability and hygiene
• Lightweight at 70g — comfortable for prolonged use
• Quick to rinse and dry between uses

There are no installation requirements. This is a hand tool suited to any prep area, and it works equally well in a small café kitchen as in a high-volume contract catering operation. For sites with very high throughput, it is worth considering whether mechanised peeling equipment would be more appropriate alongside hand peelers of this type.

Well suited to any kitchen that handles regular vegetable prep and wants a reliable, practical hand tool that holds up to daily use. If you are kitting out a new prep section or have questions about building out a utensil range, the team are happy to help point you in the right direction.

The Microplane Gourmet Shaver is a hand-held finishing tool designed for producing thin, uniform shavings of hard cheeses, chocolate, cured meats, and similar ingredients. It uses a single wide stainless steel blade to draw across a surface and produce light, even shavings with minimal pressure — a technique used widely for garnishing and plating.

In a professional kitchen environment, this kind of tool earns its place at the pass or cold larder section, where presentation matters and speed of finishing is part of the service rhythm. The blade holds its edge well under regular use, which means consistent results over time without the deterioration you sometimes see with lesser graters where the sharpness drops off quickly and the output becomes ragged rather than clean.

Practically, there are a few reasons chefs reach for this over a box grater or mandoline for finishing work:

• Wide blade produces broad, plate-ready shavings rather than fine powder
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and hygienic
• Lightweight and comfortable to handle during repetitive plating passes
• Sharpness is retained over sustained use without frequent replacement
• Suited to both hot and cold section finishing tasks

It is worth being straightforward about scope: this is a garnishing and finishing tool, not a high-volume prep grater. For large-batch prep work — grating several kilograms of Parmesan for a sauce, for instance — a rotary drum grater or machine-assisted option would be more appropriate. The Gourmet Shaver is at its best in the hands of a chef finishing a plate, not processing bulk quantities.

If you are building out a larder or pass toolkit and want to talk through what else might be useful alongside it, the team is happy to help.

The Victorinox Rex is a straight-forward swivel peeler built for everyday vegetable preparation in professional kitchen environments. It has an aluminium handle and a stainless steel blade, and is designed to be used as a general-purpose peeler for root vegetables, courgettes, potatoes, and similar produce.

In a working kitchen, peelers take a great deal of use across a single prep session. The Rex is a long-established tool in this category — the aluminium handle gives it enough weight to feel balanced in the hand without causing fatigue during extended peeling, and the stainless steel blade holds an edge well under regular use. It performs reliably on both soft-skinned and firm vegetables without the blade flexing or dragging.

From a practical standpoint, the Rex offers a few advantages that matter in daily prep:

• Stainless steel blade resists corrosion and stands up to regular dishwasher cycles
• Aluminium handle is lightweight but durable, reducing hand fatigue during high-volume prep
• Swivel blade follows the contour of the vegetable, minimising waste
• Compact size makes it easy to store and handle for staff of varying hand sizes

There are no installation requirements for a hand tool of this type, though it is worth considering how many you stock. In a busy prep kitchen, having several on hand avoids bottlenecks during peak prep periods, and replacements are straightforward to source. The peeler is not suitable for industrial-scale continuous peeling — for that, a drum or batch peeling machine would be more appropriate.

The Victorinox Rex is well suited to kitchens of any size where hand-peeling forms part of the daily mise en place — from pub kitchens and care homes through to hotel and restaurant operations. It is a practical, no-fuss addition to any prep section.

If you are equipping a new prep section and want to talk through what you need, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue 6 Way Hand Grater is a stainless steel box grater designed for general food preparation in commercial kitchens. It offers multiple grating surfaces in a single unit, covering a range of textures from coarse to fine, which makes it a practical tool for prep work involving cheese, vegetables, citrus zest, and similar ingredients.

For kitchen teams handling daily prep, having multiple grating options in one tool reduces the need to switch between separate implements. The stainless steel construction holds up well under regular use and is straightforward to clean, either by hand or through a commercial dishwasher cycle. The ABS handle provides a stable grip during use, which matters when working at pace through a prep list.

• Multiple grating surfaces cover coarse, medium, and fine requirements
• Stainless steel body is durable and resists corrosion in a busy kitchen environment
• Compact enough to store easily without taking up bench or drawer space
• Suitable for cheese, root vegetables, citrus zest, and similar prep tasks
• Dishwasher-safe construction supports efficient cleaning routines

This is a straightforward prep tool suited to small to medium kitchens, cafés, and catering operations where versatile hand grating is needed without the outlay of powered equipment. For high-volume operations processing large quantities of grated product regularly, a powered alternative may be worth considering.

If you are putting together a prep kit and want a second opinion on what will work best for your setup, the team is happy to help.

The Westmark Steel Swivel Peeler is a straightforward hand peeler built for routine vegetable preparation in commercial kitchens. The swivel blade pivots to follow the contours of root vegetables, reducing wasted flesh and keeping prep efficient. Construction combines a steel body with a stainless steel blade, giving it more durability than plastic-handled alternatives that tend to crack or flex under sustained use.

For kitchens that rely on hand peeling as part of daily prep — whether for potatoes, carrots, parsnips or similar root vegetables — a well-made swivel peeler makes a practical difference over the course of a busy shift. The stainless steel blade holds an edge reliably and resists corrosion, which matters in a wet prep environment where tools are constantly rinsed and wiped down.

• Swivel blade follows vegetable contours, reducing waste during prep
• Steel and stainless steel construction for everyday kitchen durability
• Suitable for a wide range of root vegetables and firm-skinned produce
• Compact size keeps it easy to store in a prep station

This is a hand tool, so throughput depends entirely on the prep team. Kitchens processing large volumes of root vegetables regularly may find dedicated peeling machines more practical for the bulk of that work, with a hand peeler kept in reserve for smaller quantities or topped-up prep during service.

Well suited to any kitchen carrying out regular vegetable prep — from small independent restaurants to larger operations where hand peelers supplement mechanical equipment. If you have questions about equipping a prep station or want guidance on what smallwares make sense for your setup, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue Julienne Speed Peeler is a hand-held prep tool designed to cut vegetables into fine julienne strips in a single pass. Rather than peeling first and then cutting separately, the julienne blade handles both steps together, which makes it a practical addition to any kitchen where consistent vegetable garnishes or fine-cut ingredients are prepared regularly.

In a working kitchen environment, speed and consistency matter during prep. This peeler suits the kind of repetitive, volume prep work — courgettes, carrots, cucumbers, daikon — where a sharp, reliable blade saves time compared to knife work alone. The stainless steel blade holds its edge well under regular use, and the polypropylene handle gives a comfortable, secure grip even during extended prep sessions.

Practical advantages for kitchen teams include:

• Produces uniform julienne strips without a mandoline or separate cutting stage
• Lightweight and easy to handle during high-volume prep
• Stainless steel blade resists corrosion and is straightforward to clean
• Polypropylene handle is hygienic and dishwasher safe
• Compact enough to store easily in a prep station or utensil roll

There are no installation requirements — this is a hand tool. As with all sharp prep blades, replacing it when the edge begins to dull is more efficient than continuing with a tool that requires extra pressure to achieve clean cuts.

This peeler is well suited to kitchens of any size where julienne garnishes or fine vegetable cuts feature on the menu. It works equally well in a small café kitchen as it does in a larger restaurant prep section. If you prepare julienne in particularly high volumes, a mandoline attachment or dedicated julienne slicer may offer better throughput.

If you have questions about equipping your prep section, we're happy to point you in the right direction.

The Microplane Premium Grater and Zester is a hand-held grating tool designed for professional kitchen use. Its stainless steel blade is photo-etched rather than stamped, which produces sharper cutting edges that slice cleanly through ingredients rather than tearing or crushing them. This matters most when working with citrus zest, hard cheeses, fresh ginger, garlic, or whole spices, where preserving the cellular structure of the ingredient releases more aroma and flavour than conventional graters typically allow.

In a busy prep environment, the difference between a sharp and a blunt grater becomes apparent quickly. The Microplane blade requires minimal downward pressure, reducing hand fatigue over longer prep sessions and maintaining consistent results from the first pass to the last. The soft-grip black handle sits comfortably during extended use and gives adequate control whether working quickly or with precision for plated dishes.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Clean, tear-free grating that preserves ingredient texture and aroma
• Low-pressure action reduces hand fatigue during extended prep
• Blade profile resists clogging, making it faster to clean between uses
• Stainless steel construction holds up well to regular commercial use
• Compact size suits both prep benches and pass-side finishing work

This grater is well suited to kitchens where finishing and garnishing are part of the plating process — restaurants, hotel kitchens, and catering operations that regularly work with citrus, aged cheeses, or whole spices. It is a hand-held tool rather than a box or rotary grater, so it is best suited to smaller volumes and precision work rather than high-volume bulk grating. For operations needing to process larger quantities in shorter windows, a rotary or drum grater would be a more appropriate choice.

If you are unsure which type of grater best fits your prep workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

The Deglon Stop Glisse is a larger-format shaver grater designed for producing broad, even shavings from hard cheeses, chocolate, butter, and truffles. At 31cm in length, it gives the prep cook a comfortable working stroke and enough surface area to work quickly without repeated repositioning.

In a busy kitchen environment, a grater tends to get little attention until it becomes a problem — a blade that dulls quickly, a handle that becomes slippery with wet hands, or a tool that flexes under pressure and delivers inconsistent results. The Stop Glisse addresses these directly. The stainless steel blade holds its edge well under regular use, and the TPR and polypropylene handle is designed to stay secure even in damp or greasy conditions, which matters during a long prep shift.

Practically, this grater suits kitchens where shaved garnishes or grated finishing ingredients are part of regular service. It is well suited to larder and pastry sections, as well as front-of-house tableside use where a clean result and a stable grip both matter. The lifetime warranty reflects the build quality and means it is a tool worth investing in rather than replacing seasonally.

There are no installation requirements — it is a hand tool — but it is worth considering storage. The exposed stainless blade benefits from a dedicated drawer slot or blade guard to protect both the edge and the people handling it.

If you work with shaved garnishes regularly or are equipping a new section and want to make sure this is the right specification for the volume you are working at, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Tramontina long cheese grater is a straightforward stainless steel hand grater designed for everyday prep work in commercial kitchens. At 330mm in length, it provides a longer grating surface than standard box graters, allowing a useful stroke length that helps move through larger quantities of hard cheese or similar ingredients without constantly repositioning.

In a working kitchen, the practical details matter. The angled grating design means the user can work at a natural angle rather than grating straight down, which reduces wrist strain during longer prep runs. The non-slip rubber tip anchors the grater against a chopping board or bowl edge, keeping the tool stable under consistent pressure — a small detail that makes a real difference when the grater is in use for extended periods.

• Stainless steel construction holds up well to daily washing and commercial kitchen conditions
• Non-slip rubber tip prevents movement during use, improving both speed and safety
• Extended grating surface reduces the number of strokes needed per portion
• Ergonomic angled design reduces fatigue during longer prep sessions
• Comfortable handle grip supports confident, controlled grating

This grater is best suited to smaller operations, prep kitchens, and front-of-house finishing work where handheld grating is a regular part of service. It is a hand tool, so it is not the right choice for high-volume kitchens processing large quantities of grated cheese continuously — a rotary or electric grater would be more appropriate in those settings.

If you are unsure whether this tool fits your prep workflow, or if you are equipping a kitchen from scratch and want a steer on the right utensil mix, the team is happy to help.

The Victorinox wooden handled peeler is a straightforward, well-made prep tool designed for daily use in professional kitchens. It features a double-sided stainless steel swivel blade and a rosewood handle, combining reliable cutting performance with a comfortable, balanced grip during extended prep sessions.

In a busy kitchen environment, the quality of a peeler is felt most during high-volume prep — peeling large quantities of root vegetables, brassicas, or fruit to a consistent standard without hand fatigue. The stainless steel blade holds its edge well under regular use, and the rosewood handle provides enough weight and grip to work efficiently without strain.

• Double-sided stainless steel blade for versatile peeling direction
• Rosewood handle offers a secure, comfortable grip during bulk prep
• Lightweight at 20g — easy to handle for prolonged use
• Suitable for a wide range of vegetables and fruit
• Swiss-made to Victorinox's established professional standards

As with any wooden-handled utensil, it is worth noting that rosewood handles should not be left submerged in water or put through a dishwasher for extended cycles, as this can cause the wood to swell or crack over time. Hand washing and prompt drying will extend the working life of the handle considerably.

This peeler is well suited to any professional kitchen where prep quality and comfort matter — from small independent restaurants to hotel and contract catering operations. It is a practical, reliable choice for sections handling consistent vegetable prep. If you have questions about equipping a prep section or selecting the right smallwares for your team, we are happy to help.

The Beaumont nutmeg grater is a compact stainless steel hand tool designed specifically for grating whole nutmeg directly onto food or drinks. It is a straightforward, single-purpose utensil built to a consistent commercial standard.

In a working bar or kitchen environment, the practical case for grating nutmeg fresh rather than reaching for pre-ground powder is well established. Freshly grated nutmeg releases volatile oils at the point of use, delivering a noticeably more pronounced flavour and aroma. This matters both in cocktail preparation — where a small amount of freshly grated nutmeg on an Alexander or a Ramos Gin Fizz is both a garnish and a flavour element — and in savoury cooking, where pre-ground product can taste flat by comparison.

The stainless steel construction keeps the grater hygienic, easy to wipe down, and resistant to the moisture it will encounter regularly in bar or kitchen use. The compact form sits comfortably in hand and stores without taking up meaningful drawer or shelf space.

There are no installation requirements. This is a hand-held utensil requiring no power or preparation beyond having whole nutmeg to hand. It is well suited to cocktail bars, restaurant pass areas, and kitchen sections where small-batch seasoning is part of the workflow. For operations requiring volume grating of harder spices or batch preparation, a larger box grater or rotary model would be more practical.

If you have questions about fitting out a bar station or kitchen section with the right smallwares, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Gilberts Fine Peeler is a straightforward hand peeler designed for routine vegetable and fruit preparation in commercial kitchens. It combines a stainless steel blade with a black ABS body, keeping the tool light in the hand during extended prep sessions. The two small hooks positioned on either side of the head are there for a practical purpose — removing eyes, blemishes, or damaged spots from produce without switching to a separate paring knife.

At 25g it adds nothing to hand fatigue, which matters when prep volumes are high and the same motion is repeated across large quantities of root vegetables, potatoes, or fruit. The stainless steel blade holds an edge reasonably well and is straightforward to rinse clean between uses.

• Lightweight ABS handle reduces fatigue during high-volume prep
• Stainless steel blade for reliable, consistent peeling
• Integrated blemish hooks remove eyes and damaged spots cleanly
• Easy to rinse clean and maintain during service
• Compact form suits both large prep kitchens and smaller operations

This is a practical, no-frills peeler suited to general prep use. It is not a specialist tool for fine garnish work or high-speed production peeling — for very high-volume operations, a heavier-duty swivel peeler or a dedicated prep machine may be worth considering alongside it.

If you are equipping a new prep section or reviewing your smallwares stock and want to talk through what makes sense for your setup, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue swivel peeler is a straightforward, well-made kitchen utensil constructed from stainless steel. The curved swivel blade is designed to follow the natural contours of vegetables and fruit rather than cutting across them in a fixed arc, which is the key practical difference between a swivel peeler and a fixed-blade alternative.

In a busy prep kitchen, that distinction matters more than it might seem. The blade articulates as it moves across uneven surfaces — potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and similar root vegetables — which reduces the depth of each pass and leaves more usable flesh behind. Over the course of a full prep shift, that translates to less waste per kilogram of vegetables processed and faster throughput for the prep team.

At 20g, it sits lightly in the hand and causes less fatigue during extended peeling sessions — a practical consideration when prep volumes are high and the same task is repeated across a full morning's work.

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands regular washing
• Swivel blade follows vegetable contours to reduce waste and speed up prep
• Lightweight at 20g, reducing hand fatigue during high-volume prep
• Suitable for a wide range of root vegetables and firm-skinned produce

This peeler is well suited to any commercial kitchen with regular vegetable prep requirements — from small independent restaurants to contract catering operations. It is a practical everyday item rather than a specialist tool. If your kitchen processes very high volumes of a single vegetable type, a dedicated speed peeler or mechanical solution may be worth considering alongside a hand peeler like this.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or reviewing your prep utensils and would like a straightforward conversation about what works in practice, the team is happy to help.

The Microplane Gourmet Ribbon Grater is a hand-held kitchen tool designed to produce fine, delicate ribbon shreds from a range of ingredients. Where a standard box grater or coarse rasp produces bulk grated volume, this grater is intended for finishing work — creating light, airy strands of cheese, chocolate, citrus zest, or vegetables that add texture and presentation detail to plated dishes.

In a busy kitchen environment, tools like this tend to earn their place through consistent results and ease of handling rather than any single standout feature. The non-slip rubber end keeps the grater stable against a chopping board or bowl during use, which matters when speed and accuracy are both required during service. The soft-touch handle is shaped to reduce hand fatigue on longer prep tasks — useful during extended mise en place sessions where the same motion is repeated many times over.

Practically, it offers a few clear operational advantages:

• Produces consistent ribbon shreds suited to garnishing and plated presentation
• Non-slip rubber end improves stability during single-handed use
• Ergonomic handle reduces fatigue during extended prep
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds its edge with regular use
• Dishwasher safe, simplifying end-of-service cleaning

This is a straightforward finishing tool rather than a high-volume production grater. It is well suited to pass work, garnishing stations, or any kitchen that places emphasis on plate presentation. For sites needing to grate larger quantities of ingredient quickly, a bench-mounted or rotary option may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure whether this is the right tool for your prep workflow, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The Vogue Heavy Duty Box Grater is a four-sided stainless steel grater designed for everyday ingredient preparation in professional kitchens. Each face carries a different grating surface, covering coarse, medium, fine, and slicing functions in a single tool — reducing the number of items a prep team needs to reach for during service preparation.

Stainless steel construction keeps this grater practical in a demanding environment. It resists corrosion, tolerates repeated washing, and holds up well against the kind of continuous use that would wear out a lighter domestic equivalent. At a working weight that keeps it stable on a chopping board, it stays manageable during extended prep sessions.

• Four grating surfaces cover most standard prep requirements
• Stainless steel resists corrosion and tolerates heavy daily use
• Stable enough to work quickly without the grater shifting
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher
• Compact enough to store easily in a prep kitchen drawer or rack

There are no installation requirements — this is a hand-held prep tool that needs nothing beyond a stable work surface. It is well suited to kitchens that grate cheese, vegetables, or citrus zest regularly as part of their menu. For very high-volume operations where a team is grating large quantities continuously, a rotary or electric alternative may be worth considering, but for most prep schedules this box grater handles the workload reliably.

If you are equipping a new kitchen or refreshing your prep toolkit and want a steer on what else might be worth considering alongside it, the team is happy to talk through your requirements.

The Deglon Stop Glisse is a fine-toothed box-style grater designed for commercial kitchen prep work. At just under 40cm in length, it sits comfortably over a prep bowl or container and is well suited to producing finely grated hard cheeses, citrus zest, whole spices, fresh ginger, and chocolate. The stainless steel grating surface is straightforward to clean and holds its edge well under regular use.

In a working kitchen, the value of a reliable hand grater is often underestimated until a poor-quality one slows down prep. The Stop Glisse is designed to reduce the effort needed per pass, which matters during longer prep sessions or when volume is higher than usual. The TPR and polypropylene handle provides a secure, non-slip grip — useful when hands are wet or when the grater needs to be held at an angle.

• Fine grating surface suited to hard cheeses, citrus zest, and whole spices
• Non-slip TPR handle reduces fatigue during extended prep
• Stainless steel construction withstands regular commercial use
• Lightweight at 145g, easy to handle and store
• Lifetime warranty reflects the build quality for day-to-day kitchen use

At this size and weight, the Stop Glisse is most appropriate for à la carte kitchens, pastry sections, and prep environments where fine grating is a regular but not industrial-volume task. For operations requiring continuous high-volume grating — a busy pasta kitchen producing large quantities of Parmesan to order, for example — a rotary or bench-mounted grater may be a more practical choice.

If you're unsure whether this grater fits your prep workflow, or want to compare it with other options in the range, we're happy to talk it through.

The Vogue 4 Way Hand Grater is a straightforward stainless steel box grater designed for food preparation in commercial kitchens. Four distinct grating surfaces cover a range of cuts — from coarse shreds to finer textures — making it a practical single tool for everyday prep work involving cheese, vegetables, citrus zest, and similar ingredients.

For most kitchens, a reliable box grater handles the kind of repetitive prep tasks that come up consistently during service preparation. The stainless steel construction holds up well to regular use and cleaning, and the ABS handle provides a secure grip during extended prep sessions without becoming uncomfortable.

• Four grating surfaces covering coarse, medium, fine, and slicing functions
• Stainless steel body resists corrosion and handles regular washing
• ABS handle offers a firm, stable grip during use
• Compact enough to store easily in a prep station or utensil drawer
• Straightforward to clean by hand or in a commercial dishwasher

At this size and price point, this grater suits smaller operations or kitchens where grating forms only a minor part of the prep workload. For sites processing larger volumes — a busy kitchen grating significant quantities of cheese or root vegetables daily — a larger or more heavy-duty option may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this suits your prep requirements or volume, we are happy to help you think it through before you order.

The Vogue vegetable peeler is a straightforward, well-made prep tool designed for everyday use in commercial kitchens. It features a double-sided stainless steel swivel blade and a nylon handle, following the traditional design that kitchen staff are already familiar with.

In a busy prep environment, reliability and consistency matter more than novelty. This peeler holds up well under repeated daily use — the stainless steel blade resists corrosion and maintains a working edge through continuous prep shifts, whether the task involves root vegetables, potatoes, or similar produce.

• Double-sided blade increases usable surface and reduces prep time
• Stainless steel construction resists rust and withstands regular washing
• Nylon handle provides a practical, lightweight grip during extended prep
• Familiar swivel action reduces the learning curve for kitchen staff
• Lightweight build reduces hand fatigue during high-volume peeling tasks

There are no installation requirements — this is a hand tool that needs nothing more than a drawer or utensil rack. It is dishwasher safe by material construction, though as with all smallwares, checking against your kitchen's specific dishwasher chemistry is sensible practice.

Well suited to most commercial kitchens, from small cafés and pub kitchens through to school and contract catering operations. For sites with very high-volume peeling demands, a dedicated electric peeling machine would be a more practical investment — but for day-to-day prep work and as a reliable backup tool, this peeler does the job without fuss.

If you are equipping a new kitchen and want to talk through your prep smallwares requirements as a whole, our team is happy to help.

The Deglon Stop Glisse Ultra Coarse Grater is a hand-held flat grater designed for professional kitchen prep work. At 31cm in length, it sits comfortably within a standard prep workflow and is intended for tasks such as coarsely grating raw vegetables — producing a result close to a julienne-style cut — as well as grating softer cheeses quickly and consistently.

The stainless steel grating surface holds its sharpness well under repeated daily use, which matters when prep volumes are high and consistency across covers is expected. The ultra coarse hole pattern moves food through efficiently with minimal resistance, reducing fatigue during longer prep sessions. The combined TPR and polypropylene handle contributes to a secure, stable grip whether working dry or in damp conditions — a practical consideration in a busy kitchen environment.

Key practical points for kitchen operators:

• Ultra coarse blade pattern well suited to raw vegetable prep and soft cheese
• Stainless steel construction supports regular cleaning and withstands daily use
• Non-slip handle reduces grip fatigue during extended prep
• Lightweight at 145g — easy to manoeuvre without tiring the wrist
• Lifetime warranty from Deglon, which is a reasonable indicator of build confidence

There are no installation requirements — this is a standalone hand tool. It is dishwasher safe in principle, though hand washing will preserve blade sharpness over time. As with any fine-edged grater, care should be taken during cleaning to avoid contact injuries from the blade surface.

This grater is a practical choice for kitchens that handle moderate to high volumes of vegetable or cheese prep as part of a regular mise en place routine. It is well suited to garde manger, salad, and cold kitchen sections. For operations with very high throughput, a box grater or mechanical alternative may offer better efficiency at volume.

If you are equipping a prep section and want to talk through the right combination of hand tools for your workflow, the team is happy to help.

The Vogue Narrow Blade Medium Grater is a straightforward stainless steel hand grater designed for everyday ingredient preparation in commercial kitchens. The narrow blade profile and medium shred size make it a practical choice for grating cheese, vegetables, citrus zest, and similar ingredients where a consistent, mid-sized shred is required.

In a working kitchen environment, the stainless steel construction holds up well to repeated use and the rigours of a busy prep area. It resists corrosion and can go through a commercial dishwasher without deteriorating, which matters when a utensil is in and out of service throughout a shift. The polypropylene handle provides a secure grip during use, reducing fatigue and improving control when working through volume prep.

From a practical standpoint, this grater suits kitchens where hand grating is part of regular mise en place rather than a high-volume continuous task. It is a dependable addition to a prep station toolkit rather than a replacement for powered equipment in high-throughput operations.

• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands commercial dishwashing
• Medium shred blade suits cheese, root vegetables, and citrus zest preparation
• Narrow blade profile allows controlled grating and precise ingredient yields
• Polypropylene handle provides grip stability during extended prep work
• Lightweight build at 150g makes it easy to handle throughout a shift

This grater is well suited to smaller operations, pub kitchens, cafés, and as a supplementary prep tool in larger kitchens. For kitchens with significant continuous grating demands, a powered attachment or box grater arrangement may be a more practical choice.

If you are building out your prep utensil range and want a steer on what works best in your type of kitchen, the team is happy to help.

The Microplane Gourmet Fine Grater is a hand-held grating tool designed for precision work in professional kitchens. It uses a photo-etched stainless steel blade to produce fine, consistent shavings rather than the torn or compressed results you get from cheaper stamped-metal graters. That distinction matters when presentation is part of the dish.

In day-to-day kitchen use, this grater is most commonly reached for citrus zesting, finely grating hard cheeses such as Parmesan or Pecorino, fresh garlic, ginger, nutmeg, and chocolate garnishes. The fine blade produces clean, dry shavings that integrate well into sauces or sit neatly on a finished plate. The ergonomic soft-grip handle gives good control during extended prep sessions, and a rubber end-cap keeps the tool stable against a chopping board or bowl rim.

• Produces fine, dry shavings with minimal waste
• Non-slip rubber end provides stability during use
• Comfortable handle reduces fatigue during longer prep runs
• Dishwasher safe for quick turnaround between services

Being a hand tool, there are no installation requirements — it needs only storage space and access to your dishwasher for cleaning. At this size it is suited to garnishing and small-batch prep work rather than high-volume production grating, where a rotary or box grater would be more practical.

This grater is well suited to any professional kitchen where fine zesting or grating forms part of the menu — from small independent restaurants to hotel kitchens and bakeries. If your operation requires continuous high-volume grating, it is worth considering whether a larger-format or mechanical option would better serve your workflow.

If you are unsure which grater format suits your prep volume, the team is happy to talk it through.

The OXO Y Peeler is a straight-edged speed peeler built for general vegetable preparation. The Y-shaped design positions the blade perpendicular to the handle, which many prep cooks find allows for faster, more controlled peeling strokes compared to a traditional swivel peeler. The blade is stainless steel and the handle incorporates a pressure-relieving, anti-slip rubber grip.

In a prep kitchen environment, comfort and consistency over extended use matter more than they might appear to at first glance. The ergonomic handle helps reduce hand fatigue during repetitive peeling tasks — useful on a busy prep shift where the same job is done at volume. The stainless steel blade holds an edge reliably and is straightforward to keep clean.

• Y-blade orientation supports fast, efficient peeling strokes
• Anti-slip rubber handle reduces fatigue during extended prep sessions
• Stainless steel blade resists corrosion and wipes down easily
• Lightweight enough for prolonged use without strain

There are no installation requirements to speak of. As with all hand tools used in commercial food preparation, it should be included in your regular utensil hygiene routine and inspected periodically for blade wear or handle deterioration. At 60g it is light in the hand, which suits most prep staff.

This peeler is well suited to general-purpose vegetable prep in any commercial kitchen, from small independent restaurants through to contract catering operations. For sites with very high-volume peeling requirements, a dedicated peeling machine may be worth considering alongside hand tools of this type.

If you are equipping a prep section and would like guidance on building out the right utensil set, the team is happy to assist.
