Graters and zesters are must-haves for prepping ingredients with ease. From cheese to citrus, garlic to ginger, the right tool makes grating safer, faster, and more precise. At Howards, you'll find a curated range of handheld, rotary, and multi-functional graters and zesters that simplify slicing, zesting, and shredding. Great for adding flavour, finishing dishes, or prepping meals quickly and efficiently.
With tools from trusted brands like Joseph Joseph, OXO, Dreamfarm, Kilner, and Appetito, you can count on thoughtful designs that make food prep feel effortless.
Availability may vary by store and online while designs and stock last.
Each grater in our range has a specific role to play. Opt for a zester grater to bring fresh citrus notes to desserts or cocktails. A rotary cheese grater makes easy work of parmesan at the table. For prepping garlic or ginger, try a handheld etched grater that gives you fine, even results with minimal mess.
Features to look for:
Some styles even combine tools into one, like all-in-one food prep sets from Joseph Joseph or space-saving salad spinners that include built-in grating features.
Use your zester to top off home-baked cakes, fresh salads, or cocktails made with Moscow Mule Mugs. A handheld grater works beautifully with soft cheese for grazing boards—see our cheese knives and boards to complete the spread.
Storing fresh ingredients? Pair your grater with glass jars or fridge storage containers to keep produce fresher for longer after prep. You can also grab a bag clip to seal opened packets of pre-grated cheese or dried coconut.
