Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen Porcelain Ginger Grater
This handsome and sleek little ginger grater from Helen's Asian Kitchen earns its keep in the cupboard even for only occasional Asian meals. Crafted from sturdy porcelain, the dish features raised teeth and a catching well, so ginger pulp is extracted while ginger fiber is left behind. The resulting ginger is ideally prepared for stir fries, sauces, and baking. A smart, tidy alternative to a cheese or spice grater with holes, the unit also works for daikon, garlic, nutmeg, and lemons. Measuring 7 by 4 inches, it comes with a bamboo cleaning brush and rinses clean easily.--Emily Bedard
