Collect ginger below the grating surface
The rectangular working field sits above a shallow collecting area within the same ceramic piece. Grate a small amount, then stop and gather it from the lower area before adding it to a dipping sauce, dressing or other recipe.
Use a suitable utensil to transfer the ginger rather than sweeping fingers over the raised teeth. The open surface keeps the ingredient visible while you work, so you can prepare only the amount your recipe needs.
