ORKANA WOODEN COCONUT SCRAPER

The Orkana Wooden Coconut Scraper is a classic Kerala coconut scraper built on a wooden body, sold under the Orkana wooden kitchenware line. How It Is Used: Sit or hold the wooden base steady, hold half a coconut shell against the serrated scraping head and rotate the shell so fine fresh gratings fall into a plate below, the same way grandmothers have done it for generations. Why Fresh Scraped Coconut: Freshly scraped coconut is the base of thoran, avial, chammanthi, puttu and coconut milk for stew and payasam, and tastes far better than frozen or desiccated coconut from a packet. Wooden Base: The wood gives a firm, non-slip seating on the kitchen floor or counter and is lighter than cast-iron stand scrapers. Everyday Kerala Essential: With coconut going into most meals, a reliable scraper is as basic as a knife in a Malayali kitchen. Care Tip: Brush the scraping head clean after use so coconut bits do not turn rancid, wipe the wooden base dry rather than soaking it, and store in a dry spot away from damp to prevent the wood from swelling.
