Show off your home chef skills with these beautifully handcrafted grater plates!

Grater plates have their origin in the ancient Roman, Hindu, and Japanese cultures. The ceramic plates are a delightful surprise for first-time users. They can be used to grate, smash, peel, and crush all sorts of fruit, vegetables, and spices. The list of foods that you can grate with the grating plate is almost endless! Prep + Serve! Clean up is fast since you can grate your food directly on the base of the plate. These are a cute and colorful alternative to metal and electric graters, grinders, and microplanes.

Dishwasher and microwave safe. 

Available in 3 sizes:

• SMALL 5" diameter (12.5cm x 2.5cm)
• MEDIUM 6" diameter (15cm x 5cm)
• LARGE 7.5" diameter ( 19cm x 5cm)

FAQ:

How do I get the grated content out of the inside of the plate?
We can easily remove its content in different ways, we can do it with a kitchen brush (or even a toothbrush that we use for this purpose), we can do it by gently passing our finger and dragging the content out, we can dilute the grated content with a little oil or water to help us drag the grated food, or we can turn the plate over so that the content of the grated food falls out.

In the case of dry foods such as nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, almonds, or stale bread, it is best to grate these foods with the dry plate. In the case of garlic, you can pour a little oil on the plate and thus facilitate its removal and enjoy the garlic already mixed with the oil.

Designed to hold your cigar, but also works for anything else you need to burn.

Dimensions: 4.5" w x 5.5" d x 1.75" h

Material: concrete w/ a cork base

This concrete work is all individually hand cast from custom made rubber molds. Colors are integrally mixed into the concrete and results in each piece being unique. We use recycled materials and are able to create a finished product 30% lighter than traditional concrete. Although the sealer is food grade and safe we don't recommend using these for direct food contact. Natural voids occur during casting and some pieces will have very small pin holes. Do not submerge in water. Wipe clean with mild soap and water.

Designed in Detroit, Michigan

As married designers, nothing is off limits when it comes to creating new wares and products. We keep it modern, simple, functional, and fun. Ceramics are our passion. But, seriously. If we're not designing new wares we're turning over existing pieces in our hands, thinking of ways to make them better, more beautiful, more compelling. With 25 years in the ceramics industry, our aesthetic aims for modern homes, contemporary families, and design-forward minds. With a focus on tabletop ceramics and home goods, Lark’s mission is to provide contemporary wares of the highest quality made in the most capable, ethical production settings. A husband and wife design team, Kaitlyn and Ryan Lawless, our studio is based in Michigan. Lark is named after our family, an acronym that inspires us to take every design a little higher.
