How to Use a Spanish Grater Bowl—and Choose the Right Size
There is something satisfying about grating fresh garlic straight into a beautiful ceramic bowl. Add olive oil, lemon juice and herbs, and in minutes you have a delicious dip or dressing ready to serve.
Make a quick garlic and olive oil dip
Grate one garlic clove into your bowl, then add olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of salt and a few chopped herbs. Stir and serve with warm bread, roasted vegetables or tapas.
The raised ceramic surface also works beautifully for ginger, tomatoes for pan con tomate, chocolate, nuts and cheese. The bowl catches the juices and flavours, and there is no separate grater to wash.
Choose the size that suits you
We have lots of handmade colours and patterns in four useful sizes:
12cm grater plates for garlic and ginger
15cm bowls for everyday dips, dressings and marinades
18cm bowls when you want extra room for preparing and serving
23cm bowls for generous portions and sharing
Shop a 12cm grater plate with brush or choose a 15cm grater bowl or the 18cm grater bowl.
Add a brush if you would like one
Some listings offer a small cleaning brush as an option. Check the options on your chosen product page before adding it to your basket.
Handmade gifts with plenty of character
Each plate and bowl is handmade and hand-painted in Andalucía, Spain. Small variations are part of the charm, and the different glazes mean you can choose a piece that suits your kitchen or makes a thoughtful gift for a cook or food lover.
