HOUSEWARES SHOW WRAPUP 2 2 KITCHENWARE NEWS & HOUSEWARES REVIEW n MAY 2014 n www.kitchenwarenews.com KITCHENIQ INTRODUCES THE GRATE GINGER TOOL KitchenIQ™is pleased to introduce the ultimate ginger tool. This tool can peel, grate, slice and extract juice. The non- stick coatings and v-shaped teeth make grating or slicing fibrous ginger effortless. Easily cuts through the root while creating a grated ginger paste or thin slice. Design of spoon mimics the shape of an actual spoon and quickly allows peeling of the thin skin from the root. The tool includes a dual sided container that features a squeegee. This squeegee runs along the back of the grater blade to remove the wet grated ginger. The opposite side of the container holds the sliced ginger. Use the cover from the grater blade as a juice extractor. Simply place it over the grated ginger and gently press producing fresh ginger juice. Use also with other aromatics such as garlic.
