"We noticed a trend towards healthy cooking, clean eating, real food, nutritious meals and a greater awareness of what people put in their bodies," said Croft. "People are just as conscious of the stylishness and versatility of the kitchen tools they use."
Today's trend is toward healthy eating and as people experiment with new tastes and textures, they're also paring down their kitchen tools and seeking multi-functional devices for convenience. The Upscale Cooking grater and zester accommodates that need, transitioning easily from a garlic grater and chocolate shaver to a citrus zester.
The 8-inch blade of the grater is created from 18-8 food grade stainless steel for durability, features an ergonomically designed handle that fits comfortably in the hand, and has a non-slip grip for extended usage. A removable blade cover is included for protection when not in use. The company's grater is safer than conventional devices that can rip and tear delicate skin on the hands.
There's no need to purchase multiple types of graters and zesters. The Upscale Cooking grater is appropriate for use with raw or frozen fruits, vegetables, cheese and spices. Hard vegetables can be shredded easily for salads, bread making and to reduce cooking times. Cooks can grate butter for flaky pie crusts or specialized edible charcoal for a smoky essence.
It's effective for removing the blackened portion of the occasionally overdone piece of toast or burnt baked goods. The Upscale Cooking zester offers a convenient means of shaving aromatics for sauces, and it can be used for hobbies such as candle making that incorporates fruits and zests.
The grater also offers less clean up times. The zester is easily cleaned immediately after use by stroking from the end of the blade toward the handle and hand washing or rinsing. Let the grater air dry and it's ready for the next culinary creation.
The introduction of a black handled grater to the original green version by Upscale Cooking provides traditionalists and those who are bold in the kitchen with the opportunity to experience the versatility that the grater offers. It's a multi-functional, space saving tool that provides extra value.
