Expert Review and  Insights

The moment you pick up the Deglon, you can feel the quality. It has a reassuring heft without being cumbersome, and  the balance is spot on. The blade is seriously sharp and  the non-slip foot is a genuinely useful feature, not a gimmick. It’s a specialised tool, but for what it does, it does it brilliantly and  feels like it will last for years in a busy kitchen environment.

  • Built to Last: The solid frame and  welded blade feel incredibly sturdy during use.
  • Specialist Tool: It creates wide shavings, so it won't replace your fine zester.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Severn Bite', a popular riverside bistro in Worcester, were finding their standard graters were breaking or going blunt too quickly when prepping hard cheeses for their signature dishes. They needed a more robust, professional solution.

"The difference is night and  day. The Deglon grater is solid, incredibly sharp, and  the non-slip foot means we can prep safely at speed. It just plows through a block of parmesan with no effort at all. Our old graters would bend and  flex, but this one is rock solid."

Ben Carter – Head Chef

Since the switch, the bistro has reduced prep time for cheese and  chocolate garnishes by an estimated 25%, improving kitchen workflow during busy services.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon arrival, carefully remove all packaging from the grater.
  • Before its first use, wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water to remove any manufacturing residues.
  • Always inspect the blade and  handle to ensure they are secure.
  • Familiarise yourself with the non-slip foot for safe vertical grating.

Keeping It Going

  • For best results and  to maintain blade sharpness, hand washing is recommended.
  • Clean immediately after use to prevent food from drying onto the blade.
  • Always dry the grater completely before storing to prevent any water spots or corrosion.
  • Store with a blade guard if possible, or in a way that protects the blade edge and  prevents accidents.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Grater

Not sure which grater is right for your prep station? Here are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you get the perfect tool for the job.

Blade Style & Purpose

Consider what you'll be grating. Shavers, like this one, create wide ribbons, perfect for garnishes. Zesters create fine strands from citrus, while box graters offer multiple textures in one.

Handle & Grip

A comfortable, non-slip handle is crucial for both safety and  efficiency, especially during long prep sessions. Look for ergonomic shapes and  materials like the TPR on this model.

Stability in Use

A grater that slips is a hazard. Features like a non-slip foot or a sturdy frame that can rest securely over a bowl make the process safer and  cleaner.

Material Quality

High-grade stainless steel (like 18/8 or 18/10) is the gold standard. It resists rust, stays sharper for longer, and  won't transfer metallic tastes to your food.

Size and  Surface Area

A larger grating surface, like on this 31cm commercial shaver grater, means more efficient prep. You can process more food with fewer strokes, saving valuable time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this grater dishwasher safe?

A: While the materials are dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand washing to preserve the life and  sharpness of the ultra-sharp blade.

Q: What is the difference between this shaver and  a microplane zester?

A: This tool creates wide, flat shavings, ideal for hard cheese garnishes or chocolate curls. A microplane creates very fine, almost fluffy strands, perfect for citrus zest or finely grating ginger.

Q: What does '18/8 stainless steel' mean?

A: It refers to the composition of the steel: 18% chromium for rust resistance and  8% nickel for durability and  shine. It's a high-quality grade perfect for kitchen tools.

Q: Can I use this for vegetables like carrots?

A: It's primarily designed for very hard items like parmesan or chocolate. While it could shave a carrot, a peeler or mandoline would likely produce more consistent results for vegetables.

Q: How do I keep the blade sharp?

A: The best way is through proper care: avoid the dishwasher, don't use it to scrape pans, and  store it carefully so the blade doesn't knock against other metal utensils.

Q: Is the 'Stop Glisse' handle really non-slip, even with wet hands?

A: Yes, the TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber) material is specifically chosen for its excellent grip properties, providing a secure hold even in damp kitchen conditions.

Q: What's the best way to clean it safely?

A: Wash in the direction of the blades, not against them, using a brush rather than a sponge. Clean it under running water immediately after use before food has a chance to harden.

Q: Is the Deglon large cheese shaver good for both soft and  hard cheese?

A: It excels with very hard cheeses like Parmesan, Pecorino, or aged cheddar. It is not suitable for soft cheeses like mozzarella or brie, which would just clog the blade.

What Customers Are Saying

"A fantastic piece of kit. We use it for shaving parmesan over our pizzas and  pastas. It's very sturdy and  the handle is comfortable even after a long shift. Well worth the investment."

Marco Rossi – Pizzeria Owner, Manchester

"Really sharp and  effective for making chocolate shavings for our desserts. Just be careful when washing it! The non-slip foot is a great touch for stability."

Why a 'Seamless' Handle Matters for Kitchen Hygiene

You'll see the term 'direct injected handle' on the specs, but what does that actually mean for your day-to-day? Think of it like the difference between a tiled kitchen worktop with grout lines and  a completely smooth, seamless one. On the tiled top, tiny bits of food and  moisture inevitably get trapped in the grout, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. No matter how well you wipe it, you can never be sure it's perfectly clean.

This grater's handle is like that seamless worktop. The handle material is injected directly around the steel frame, leaving absolutely no gaps, cracks, or seams where food particles and  germs can hide. This makes it significantly easier to clean and  far more hygienic than traditional graters with separate handle pieces, giving you peace of mind in a professional kitchen environment.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Italian Restaurants: Perfect for creating beautiful shavings of Parmesan and  Pecorino for pasta and  salads.
  • Delicatessens: Ideal for quickly prepping hard cheeses for samples or pre-packaged sale at the counter.
  • Patisseries & Dessert Bars: A must-have for making elegant chocolate curls and  shavings to decorate cakes and  desserts.
  • Gastropubs & Bistros: The perfect tool for adding a professional finishing touch and  garnish to premium dishes.
