Looking for a Máquina para Pasteles?
Grandma Ann's is an electric grater designed to take the hard work out of grating green bananas, yautía, yuca, calabaza and plantains while maintaining the traditional grated texture people want for Puerto Rican pasteles.
Instead of spending hours hand grating your viandas, Grandma Ann's lets an electric ½ HP motor do the work.
You bring the recipe.
We'll help with the grating.
Your Family's Recipe. Your Family's Masa.
There's no single recipe for Puerto Rican pasteles.
And we wouldn't want there to be.
Every family has its own proportions, ingredients, seasoning—and usually a few secrets nobody has written down.
Grandma Ann's isn't here to change any of that.
Use your recipe.
Use your ingredients.
Make your masa the way your family loves it.
Just let Grandma Ann's take care of the grating.
Watch Chef Greg Do It
There's a difference between reading what a machine can do and actually watching it happen.
Look at the ingredients.
Watch how Greg feeds them.
Look at the finished texture.
That's Grandma Ann's.
A Grater. Not a Blender.
This distinction matters.
Grandma Ann's doesn't rely on blender blades to purée your ingredients.
It uses a rotating stainless-steel grating drum to actually grate them.
For cooks trying to maintain the character and texture of traditionally grated masa, that's exactly what makes Grandma Ann's different.
Speed without giving up the grated texture.
Green Banana. Yautía. Yuca. Calabaza. Plantain.
If it's part of your family's masa, there's a good chance Grandma Ann's can help with the hardest part.
Feed larger peeled pieces whenever possible.
Maintain steady pressure.
Add the next piece before the previous one completely finishes.
That's it.
Large Pieces. Steady Pressure. Continuous Feed.
Chef Greg makes it look easy because once you understand the technique, it is.
LARGE PIECES
There's no need to spend additional time dicing everything into tiny cubes.
STEADY PRESSURE
Keep the food in contact with the grating drum using the pusher.
CONTINUOUS FEED
Before one piece finishes, put the next piece behind it.
We call it Stack & Push.
It's the easiest way to get consistently great results and minimize little leftover pieces.
Making Dozens of Pasteles?
This is where Grandma Ann's really starts to make sense.
A few minutes saved isn't the point.
Think about the amount of hand grating involved when you're making dozens and dozens of pasteles for Christmas, Thanksgiving, family gatherings or customers.
Grandma Ann's turns one of the most physically demanding parts of the process into one of the fastest.
That means your energy can go toward seasoning, assembling, wrapping—and enjoying the people you're making them with.

Easy to Clean
When the grating is finished, the bowl, grating blade and hopper are removable and dishwasher safe.
Because after making a mountain of pasteles, nobody wants another machine that takes forever to clean.
Built for Families Who Really Cook
Grandma Ann's combines a powerful ½ HP motor with a stainless-steel grating drum and simple operation.
It's built for dense raw ingredients.
It's built for batches.
And it's built for cooks who still care about how their food feels and tastes when it's finished.
From Chef Greg's Kitchen to Yours
Traditional recipes survive because somebody keeps making them.
Sometimes that's Grandma.
Sometimes Mom.
Sometimes Dad.
And sometimes it's the person watching an old family recipe and realizing:
“If I don't learn this, who will?”
We love the technology that makes those traditions easier to continue.
That's what Grandma Ann's is about.
Keep making the food. Keep passing it down. Let the machine handle the grating.

Chef Greg: Keeping Puerto Rican Recipes Within Reach
Long before people knew him from Facebook Live and his bilingual cooking videos, Gregorio “Chef Greg” Diaz was cooking the food of his Puerto Rican heritage. He previously owned two small restaurants and a catering business in Puerto Rico, but his greatest impact may be the community he and his wife, Nicole, have built through Sabor With Love.
Chef Greg began sharing recipes after hearing from Latinos who wanted to prepare the foods they grew up with but struggled to learn from Spanish-speaking parents and grandparents. By explaining recipes in both English and Spanish, he has helped a new generation reconnect with Puerto Rican cooking—one recipe, question and live cooking session at a time.
When Chef Greg makes pasteles, authentic texture matters. He uses Grandma Ann’s Electric Grater to prepare green bananas, yautía, yuca, calabaza and plantains efficiently while preserving the grated texture traditional masa requires.
WHY TEXTURE MATTERS
Authentic Pasteles Texture — Without Hours of Hand Grating
Grandma Ann's grates green bananas, yautía, yuca/cassava, calabaza and plantains into the grated texture traditional masa depends on. It grates rather than blends, so you're not turning your ingredients into a smooth blender puree.
For Pasteles, Start With the Regular Blade
The Regular Grating Blade comes with every Grandma Ann's Electric Grater and is our preferred blade for traditional pasteles and alcapurrias masa.
The optional Fine Grating Blade creates a finer texture and can be useful for foods such as fresh coconut, but it can make cassava finer than we generally recommend for traditional pasteles masa.
SAVE THE HAND WORK
Minutes, Not Hours
Large family batches that once meant hand grating ingredient after ingredient can be prepared in minutes with Grandma Ann's.
Made for the Ingredients in Your Masa
-
Green Bananas
-
Yautía
-
Yuca / Cassava
-
Calabaza
-
Plantains
Grate each ingredient separately, then combine them according to your family's recipe.
How to Get the Perfect Grate
Simple technique. Authentic grated texture.
A Small Remnant Is Normal
A small remnant can remain because the pusher stops just above the grating drum for safety — especially with irregularly shaped foods. The Stack & Push technique helps minimize it.
Easy to Clean. Backed by Our Family.
Dishwasher-safe bowl, blade and hopper. A 1-year warranty. And real support from the Grandma Ann's family if you ever need help.
Useful Long After Pasteles Season
- Potatoes
- Fresh Coconut
