Demo Video

Here is a quick video to show how to use the Brieftons 4-Blade Rotary Grater.

Overview

This versatile kitchen tool is designed to make grating and slicing cheese, fruits and vegetables effortless and efficient. Each rotation of the drum cuts the food 12 times, making the grater significantly more efficient than a traditional knife or mandoline slicer. Equipped with 4 interchangeable stainless steel drums, it’s perfect for creating a variety of textures and cuts from your favorite foods.

Components

Let’s familiarize ourselves with the components of the grater:

• The body: Provides stability and support during use.
• The upper housing: Where you’ll insert the interchangeable drums for grating.
• The 4 drums: Angel-hair grater, medium grater, coarse grater, and slicer.
• The handle: Offers a comfortable grip for easy operation.
• The pusher: For feeding vegetables/fruits into the hopper for cutting.
• The cleaning brush: To clean the drums after use.

How to Use the Rotary Grater

1. Secure the Body: Place the body on a flat surface. Push down firmly on the body with one hand and turn the suction lever clockwise with the other hand to lock the suction pad.
2. Assemble the Upper Housing: Slot the upper housing into the top of the body until it clicks into position.
3. Attach a Drum and Handle: Choose a drum and insert it into the upper housing, ensuring the narrow end goes through the hole at the back. Attach the handle to the end of the drum and turn its screw cap clockwise to lock it into the drum.
4. Start Grating: Load the food into the hopper, push it down with one hand, and turn the handle clockwise with the other hand to start grating. When the food becomes shorter, use the pusher to drive it into the hopper.
