Product Information

Home Electricals - Dry:Soon Heated Airers - Heated Blankets & Mattress Protectors - Fans & Heaters - Coffee Machines - Kettles - Toasters This grater performed well in our tests, producing even shreds of both hard and soft cheese. The big surface area of the sides and the wider, flared opening at the bottom came especially in handy while grating larger volumes. Since it is lightweight, despite its size, we noted that it might not last as long with heavier use (more than the average home cook). Cleaning was easy—both in the dishwasher and while washing by hand—and the rubber bottom is removable to ensure that no smaller pieces of food are caught underneath. All in all, this grater is a great value for the price.

We recommend the Cuisipro 4-Sided Boxed Grater for its unbeatable efficiency, but those on a budget should consider the IKEA IDEALISK, which gets the job done at a low price. How We Tested Cleaning Electricals - Steam Cleaners - Vacuums & Sweepers - Hard Floor Cleaners & Polishers - Carpet Cleaners This worked well for both our hard and soft cheeses, and we liked that we could choose large or small shreds as well as ribbon cuts. This also did a good job zesting. This has two options for slicing, for either straight or wavy cuts. Both worked well for zucchini but not as well for carrots.Box graters are efficient when they are sharp, but after years of regular use, the edges tend to wear down. If you find you're struggling to shred cheese or hard veggies, it's probably time for a new one.

You’ll have the easiest time julienning pieces that are approximately 3- to 4-inches (8 to 10 cm) long or smaller. Chop the carrot in half. A whole carrot is usually too cumbersome to julienne, so it helps to cut your carrots into smaller pieces. Use a sharp chef’s knife to slice the carrot in half horizontally.

The grater is dishwasher safe, and we ran it though the dishwasher multiple times during testing. The box should be hand washed, but if it’s only used for storage it shouldn’t need a lot of cleaning.

The Microplane Gourmet Series retains the clog-resistant stainless steel blade of all Microplane graters, but with the addition of an angled, non-slip bar at the table end, improving leverage when grating.

Microplane graters feature photo-etched blade technology, ensuring effortless grating for superior results, cutting foods precisely without ripping or shredding 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. Slice the halves down the middle lengthwise. Take your carrot halves and use your knife to cut them each down the middle lengthwise. Be careful to curl your fingertips out of the way because the round shape of the carrot means it may move as you’re cutting. 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.This also did a good job with our hard and soft cheeses. While it was able to slice both carrots and zucchini, it wasn’t as good as some others we tested, making some rough cuts along the way. Still, if we had the grater out and didn’t want to grab a knife, it would be handy. While the silicone bumper at the base helps keep the grater stable, we noticed that it trapped bits of cheese, which made it more difficult to clean (it's not dishwasher safe).
