This kitchen tool, also known as a microplane, is typically used for grating citrus fruit zest, hard cheeses, and spices such as nutmeg. Its extremely sharp grating edges require proper storage to prevent nicks and cuts. This is a page about storing a rasp grater.
To store flat, rasp-style graters safely in the kitchen tools drawer, take a square, pocket style potholder and slide the graters into the pocket. Fold the potholder in half and secure with a rubber band.
