Microplane 4-Sided Box Grater

Product Information

The three photo- etched, razor-sharp blades : ultra-coarse, ribbon and fine- Made in USA – giving you an efficient and effective way to effortlessly grate and zest citrus fruits, ginger, parmesan, spices, garlic , coconut, onions, apples, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, chocolate, soft and hard cheese, cucumber and many more according to your cooking wishes. This grater does it all. With it, you can zest or shred finely (great for garlic cloves and cheese to top pasta with); slice fruit and veggies such as apples, cucumbers, potatoes, etc.; and do medium or coarse shreds. Some of this, of course, could also be accomplished with some pro-level knife skills, but if you’d rather have a grater do the work for you, this is an excellent option. It also comes with a rubber handle and rubber base and is technically dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended if you have the time. In testing, we ran it through the dishwasher multiple times with no ill effects. Zyliss SmoothGlide Rasp Grater: This grater didn’t have enough teeth and the bend in the handle made grating lemons awkward and uncomfortable when held upside down. In testing, this did an excellent job with parmesan cheese, and it truly did glide easily. We also liked its performance in making small and large shreds of softer Colby cheese. Using the slicing blade that works like a mandoline, it created thin slices of both carrots and zucchini. However, it only did a fair job when zesting lemon peel. It would be fine for occasional use, but a dedicated zester might be preferred if a lot of zesting is on the menu. The grater also has a rounded, slightly padded handle, so it was comfortable to hold onto during our tests. The Microplane 4-Sided Box Grater offers the convenience of three graters in one with an additional slicing blade on the side. An innovative and functional design combined with the renowned Microplane ultra sharp grating blades.

Deiss PRO Stainless Steel Grater: This was a good grater with a nice, soft, grippy handle. It had a little extra tooth and bite in the blade, but the extra length of the grater made it feel slightly off-balance in hand.

Microplane Rotary Grater - Microplane White Coarse Rotary Grater For Easily Handling With Minimal Effort. Although the Cuisipro is among the most expensive options on this list, it also boasts the best design. First of all, it’s what’s called an etched grater (as opposed to a stamped one). Though etched are pricier, they result in sharper, more precise tools. Plus, the Cuisipro graters exclusively have what’s called Surface Glide Technology, which reduces friction and increases the surface area of each blade, meaning each stroke results in more grated cheese, veggies, or whatever else you happen to be working with. The sturdy stainless steel frame comes with ergonomic soft-touch handle for a secure grip and non- slip rubber feet to ensure stability on the work surface.We shredded hard carrots and potatoes on each of the graters to see how it could hold up to tough tasks. The Tester Looking to make some nachos or mac and cheese? What about some grilled cheese sandwiches? Whatever cozy, warming recipes you’re looking to whip up, cheese can almost certainly improve them. And, while you can buy pre-shredded cheese, of course, it’s generally fresher and tastier if you grate your own. Sharp: Graters should be able to efficiently cut through hard vegetables or soft cheeses. You shouldn’t meet a lot of resistance when shredding or slicing on a good grater, and the results should be consistent enough to cook evenly or look attractive as a garnish. A sufficiently sharp zester will help remove just the right amount of citrus rind without ripping into the bitter pith.
