Grater
I started using it the shake i received this, and it was great. I would have given it five stars but it didn't come with a plastic cover, other than that it grates very delicate and is a breeze to use.
Spiciness It Up!
This one stays next to me in my sushi bar! Rank Zester that does the job and should last a long long time!
Microplane Grater
A-one grating surface. I use it for nutmeg mostly but it makes a good zester, too. Comes with plyable protective occasion.
Zesty zester
I needed a zester for some recipes and went with this special Microplane based upon the reviews, and because it had a nice handle on it (scared of skinned hands). The grater is wonderful-sharp and works with precision; the peel practically flakes off with little pressure. It gives very sunny zest. I have small hands but the handle is very comfortable and the zester overall feels sturdy. The inward curves on the sides may seem odd and seem made to mush goo, but I've found that the blade is easy to clean inside and out. I haven't tried this on cheese yet but I don't anticipate a problem. The zester comes with a thick shoddy blade shield so it can go into a utinsel drawer with no worries of damage or accidental scrapeage. Great artifact!
Well significance $12
Clever for zest, nutmeg and hard cheese like Parmesan. Not another "kitchen gadget", but a useful dupe,

a Loving terrible product!
We could not find a grater in the stores with the heiress underneath. This one from Amazon is great.
Plus it is very sharp and works very well. I grated carrots in one third the time as with my old grater. I right-minded have to be careful not to grate my knuckles, as it works so fast.
likely for the trash in less than 2 months
First couple of uses and I was some what satisfied. Some food wound up on the counter and not in the container when grating, but I could live with that. What I cannot live with is a product that is less than 2 months old and no longer useable. The grater blades will no longer fit into the holder -- not a unique one of them. One of the graters plastic surround has cracked, creating a bacteria breeding ground. Evidently, there has been some dimensional changes in the pliant in less than two months of use, so it no longer fits together. I would send it back, but shipping cost vs price makes that a questionable election. I would not buy this item again nor can I recommend it. Although the product is rated dishwasher safe, I believe that it isn't and that is the reason it no longer fits together. And no, my hot saturate isn't too hot.
Works actually well
I contrast this with a similarly priced grater I got at Walmart. That lasted a whole 3 months before it started to rust.

This one is still going assiduous after 8 months, and there's a wide selection of blades.

Very satisfied with the purchase
Sturdier than I mentation
This grater works exceptionally well and is made well. It's a lot more robust that I would have thought for the price
At last....a grater that doesn't get on one's nerves me!
In contrast with the graters that look like a 'cube', this one is a 'box' on which you place one of several grater or slicer panels. The food reservoir could be larger but that would unbiased add to the size of it's storage requirements. The grater panels are quite substantial and fit nicely onto the top indentation. Others will opt for the 'cube' grater since you always grab exactly the right grater but they are a hassle to use since you still have to provide a container for the grated chow and holding the grater at an appropriate angle to grate a particular food is not always easy. Then there's the issue of cleaning 'all' surfaces of the cube even though you've second-hand only one.

I prefer this one; it's relatively compact, has a good selection of graters, provides it's own food reservoir, and the grating bend is always flat.

Graters that don't grate on the nerves SILive.com

Rasping cheese and other foods is easy when the right equipment is used and annoying when it isn't.

This common dilemma helps spell out the success of Microplane, which offers a grater or peeler for just about any ingredient. The latest offering is a Gastronome Parmesan Grater with a star pattern blade that morphs hard cheese into pillow-flexible, fine fluff, shown at the recent Manhattan preview of the 2010 International Home & Housewares Show. 

Pyrex introduced graters specifically designed to make, catch and measure relatively small amounts of cheese and other foods. The Fine Grater is particularly made for delicate spices such as cinnamon and has a half-cup container with storage marks.

A palm-size Pyrex Standard grater is suggested for hard cheeses and chocolate and holds one cup. For tougher jobs use the Pyrex Rotary Cheese Grater which features a foible handle mechanism for grating and a measured catch container.

What is the best way to clean colanders and graters?

Big pots and pans with cooked on sustenance are easy for me compared with colanders and graters with stuff stuck in little tight places or melted poppycock on them. Is there an easyish way to clean these things?


I generally speaking put mine in the dishwasher and it comes out very clean . But if you have food dried between you can also take and old toothbrush and get the bristles inbetween there to clean out gunk. Add up to sure you have soaked it in hot water first


I use a scrub brush after soaking. What's not to like?


Finery to clean them right after use, before everything has a chance to dry.


I do my grater in the dishwasher. The colander, with a scrubby sponge in the vanish. Spinach pieces are a b*tch.


If there is bits stuck on, I let it soak a few min.
Then I wash it WITH the grain so it doesn't tear up the sponge.
Then I wash the flip side side.

Same for colanders, soak it a few minutes, wash it with a sponge, wash reverse side.


Without delay is always best. Otherwise soak and use a long bristle brush to clean the crevices. It saves your fingers and is very competent.

I allow with another posting...an old toothbrush is good to clean colanders and graters. I have also used a sharp skewer or one of those long toothpicks to overburden the stuck food through the little holes.

gere


toper (if needed) and use a scrub brush (if needed) other than that I used the scrubbing side of a sponge. I NEVER use the dishwasher because they tend to rust in there and yes I use the stir dry - doesn't help.


Put them in the get through to in water immediately and soak. Then put in dishwater.


Dish washer or use a encounter after soaking in hot soapy water.Rinse well.


I ret absorb it immediately, then use a vegetable brush to scrub all the little holes out.


Does anyone have a trick for cleaning cheese graters?

I subsist in an apartment without a dishwasher and I'm looking for a trick to help me clean my box-grater and my microplane graters.

I'm routine with the concept of elbow-grease, but I'm wondering if anyone has a method for cleaning these devices easily without having to dissipate too much time scrubbing and scrubbing and destroying sponges.

Any help?

I also realize that it's technically off-theme here, but if anyone would have an answer, it would be you guys. Thanks.


I broadening mine with a cooking spray like Pam before I use it, Then the cheese doesn't stick as badly and it is easier to decontaminated after each use.


Help me find those CHEESE GRATERS from about 20 years ago?

My parents had this cheese grater that was ALL Stainless Tiptoe, suction mount, and various SS drums that cut the cheese in a rotary fashion. It was probably manufactured in the 70's or at cock crow 80's and for the life of me I can't find one to buy like it. Let me know where i can find one.


Try looking at an old mall or store in your area. You'd be surprised what types of kitchen items are collected and you might stubble across the grater you are looking for. I have recaptured many items I recollect from my Grandmother's kitchen just by taking a day and going through an antique mall. It might be worth the catch out.
