For when I want to top chili or salad with cheese, I wanted a grater that was easier to clean than my box grater, and this one checks all the boxes. br>br>The shredded material is thin and wide - Like a coarse grater, but the shreds are half as thick, if that makes sense, making it ideal for displaying cheese that melts quickly. It comes with a sheath and can easily be stored in a utensil crock or drawer. br>br>The real genius here is how quickly you can grate cheese with it, despite its small size, because it's sharp and can grate in both directions, so you can simply scrub your block of cheese back and forth and have grated cheese in a second.
Edit: Seller promptly replaced the incorrect item without requiring me to return it (which would have been too much trouble for a single grater to be worth it). br>This grater is fine, but I had ordered the thinner stick version with a finer grate and was disappointed to receive this instead. I suppose it will continue to work, but it will take up more space and will not function as advertised.
We tried this after returning another oval grater in the hopes that it would be better. That was true, but it wasn't perfect. It's impossible to fit a brick of cheese on this, and it's not even close to being awesome. I adore my Microplane, and we adore our zester and parmesan cheese. This was better than those, but not as good. It was sent back, not because it wouldn't work, but because it wasn't a ten, and we had to get real. You must be a ten in order to own real estate.
I've had a Microplane grater for a long time and really enjoy it. But, for larger shredding, I wanted to upgrade my box grater. This is perfect; the handle isn't quite as long as my original, but that doesn't appear to be a problem.
When my houseguests left, I missed having one, so I went out and purchased one for myself. The ultra-fine texture enhances the flavor of whatever you're cooking with it - nutmeg, garlic, and lemon zest Yum! It's also very easy to clean.
This is the tool for you if you're in need of some nicely shredded cheese and don't want to make a big mess. Hand washing is a little difficult, which is why dishwashers were invented. Purchase and revel in the experience.
I like how the handle fits into my hand and is comfortable to hold. The zester is razor-sharp and performs admirably when zesting. This zester is one of my favorites. Anyone looking for a well-made, easy-to-use zester should definitely consider this product.
It also came with a handy slide-on shield.
