If you are looking for freshly grated nutmeg, this is the perfect kitchen tool. This long, slender tool makes fast work of grinding up those rock-hard chunks of fresh nutmeg. The sturdy plastic handle makes it easy to grip, while the razor-sharp stainless-steel blades do the hard work. As always with a sharp Cheese Grater, be careful to keep your fingers clear--safety can be especially challenging when you're working with those slippery little spices.
