The beauty of this item lies in its straightforward, stately appearance. Made from thick stainless steel, it feels solid and stable, and eliminating the need to curl the ends for reinforcement means that food scraps do not accumulate, ensuring that it is more hygienic. The silicone rubber cap acts as a nonslip grip during use and is also ideal for storing grated ingredients, while the restrained black color gives it a modern appearance. There is nothing to suggest that the design has been manipulated in an effort to differentiate this product and we wish to express our respect for the sincere approach to manufacturing demonstrated in its focus on function.
