It is the finest of the three grids in the range. Because the blades shear rather than crush, the supplier records a \u003cstrong\u003eclean cut that resists the browning you get along a bruised edge\u003c\/strong\u003e — which on a salad section is the difference between prepping ahead and prepping to order.
