Product Overview
When your menu calls for delicate parmesan shavings, elegant chocolate curls, or perfectly garnished dishes, a standard box grater simply doesn't have the finesse. This is where a dedicated shaver grater comes into its own, offering precision and speed that transforms ingredients from mere toppings into a key part of the plate's presentation. It's an essential bit of kit for any chef who values attention to detail.
Designed for the fast-paced professional kitchen, the Deglon Stop Glisse larger shaver grater is a tool built for performance and longevity. It’s perfect for Italian restaurants needing mounds of fresh parmesan, patisseries crafting intricate chocolate decorations, and gastropubs adding that final flourish to their signature dishes. Its generous size and ultra-sharp blade make quick work of even the hardest cheeses and cooking chocolates.
With its robust construction, hygienic seamless handle, and thoughtful non-slip features, this isn't just another utensil; it's a dependable workhorse. This professional kitchen shaver grater elevates your prep work from a chore to a craft, delivering consistent, beautiful results every single time. Get ready to make your garnishes the star of the show.

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.
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.
The Deglon Sabatier Edge: Precision That Lasts
When you invest in a Deglon Sabatier tool, you're buying more than just steel and plastic; you're tapping into over a century of French cutlery expertise. Known for equipping professional chefs worldwide, Deglon Sabatier builds tools not just to do a job, but to master it. This Deglon Stop Glisse larger shaver grater is a perfect example of that philosophy. The focus isn't just on sharpness today, but on edge-retention and structural integrity that withstands the rigours of a commercial kitchen for years. The thoughtful design, from the hygienic seamless handle to the ten robust welding points, translates to fewer replacements, less downtime, and a more reliable prep station. It’s a small investment in consistency, safety, and the kind of quality that lets your team perform at their best, service after service.
Explore more from Deglon SabatierWhy 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.
