Questions & Answers
I've washed mine about a dozen times in the dishwasher. What's more, there's no trace of rust. ever! I don't wash my knives in the dishwasher, but this one has far too many blades (some of which are extremely sharp) to safely wash by hand and thoroughly clean.
I slip a piece of PVC pipe over my thumb, along with a coupler that is 1 5/8" longer and has an ID of 3/4". I was nicking my thumb knuckle more than anything else, and this has worked perfectly. I do occasionally catch the plastic on the grater, which is probably bad for the blades, but it's better than bloodying my thumb almost every time.
It's made of a thick, non-slip plastic with a rubber (?) backing. ) protective layer This is the best grater/zester I've ever used in my career as a chef. The base is made of plastic as well. It's detachable and can be used as a ginger or garlic grater, but it's more convenient to keep it attached when grating cheese or something else messy. I hope this information is useful.
I don't know how thick this metal is, but it was well worth the money. The extra cost was well worth it. I've never owned a better grater. It's great with cabbage, chocolate, carrots, cheese, and potatoes. etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc
Selected User Reviews For Cuisipro Surface Glide Technology 4-Sided Boxed Grater
This thing is razor-sharp and poses a threat to users. Since I was a kid, I've used box graters to help my grandmother make latkes. I've also used graters with only one blade. Every time you use it, you gain a pound of flesh. This thing draws blood whether you're grating Romano cheese on the fine side or mozarella on the coarse side. When I was grating gouda the other day, I cut myself badly. Be aware. This cooking utensil should be avoided at all costs.
With this grater, I was perfectly content. It's tough and ate up the work I gave it like it was nothing. When I tried to clean it, I ran into a problem. It has a hundred sharp little nooks where food can hide that bristles simply catch on to and sponges can't get into. It's nearly impossible to keep the place clean. I had to throw mine away after several failed attempts to clean it (including submerging it in boiling water). I can't use it again while there are still bits of old food stuck in it, and there's no way those bits will come out in my lifetime, so it's a one-time use. It's a one-time use tool and a near-total financial waste. I strongly advise you to purchase something that is easier to maintain.
" Does it matter to you?" I do. You'll probably enjoy it even if you don't know what it is. This product performs as expected. It appears to be made of durable materials and constructed well. The price is reasonable. However. I'm not sure about you, but I'm a stickler for the final product's quality: grated cheese. That was the only reason I bought it (it was The Wirecutter's top pick). I have certain kitchen standards as a result of growing up in an Italian family. I prefer grated cheese with parmagiana and Romano. This isn't "grateful. " " The cutting surfaces are micro-scopically small. Instead of the traditional circular holes, planes were used. As a result, the grating produces a fine, fluffy "cloud," if you will. I'd like grated cheese that you can pick up in your hand and distribute yourself. Instead, this will clump together. It also melts too quickly on hot food (which you may enjoy). Some people will be fine with this (I am not one of them. ) I'm not, and I'm having a hard time finding one of those rotary ones that is of any good quality. Also, I grate a lot at once to store/freeze so I don't have to pull out the grater every time I want grated cheese (which is frequently!). As a result, the flat-surface paradigm does not appeal to me. It goes on and on. However, if this is the type of implement you're looking for, it's a good piece of gear to have. To make my limoncello, I simply zested 14 lemons, which was quick, simple, and yielded excellent results (though I did scrape my knuckle a couple of times). There's nothing to be concerned about). Anyway, if your standards aren't as high as mine, you'll enjoy this. br>br>' br>br>' br>br>' br.
Day-to-Day Variation My Grater in a Box! Using a box grater has always been a chore for me. For decades, I had been using my mother's old stainless steel grater, and it had never occurred to me that box graters had improved over time. Grating anything with mine took an eternity, and when I used the fine grating holes, getting the carrot (or whatever) that clung tenaciously was a frustrating experience. Cuts and scrapes on my fingertips and knuckles were a common occurrence for me. However, using and cleaning a food processor just to shred a single carrot or grate a few tablespoons of onion for a recipe (my Microplane is too narrow to grate an onion efficiently) always seemed like more trouble than it was worth. br>br>Recently, while cleaning out my kitchen cabinets, I came across the grater - After all these years, it's still in good condition - and made the decision that it had to go. What, on the other hand, could I use in its place? This Cuisipro box grater was recommended by Cook's Illustrated Magazine, which is my bible for all kitchen equipment decisions. Then I went to Amazon and saw how many positive reviews there were. I liked the idea of longer blades that would allow me to shred and grate more efficiently, the grooves that would allow the food to slide across the surface more easily, the comfortable handle, and the built-in base that kept the grated or shredded food neatly contained while it was transported to a salad bowl, mixing bowl, saute pan, and so on. (The fact that the base also doubled as a ginger grater was an added bonus. ) It seemed worthwhile to give it a go. br>br>When it arrived, I was surprised by its size, which is easily twice that of my mother's "antique" box grater. Despite taking up more cabinet space, this grater's larger interior capacity is well worth it. It's simple to use, much more efficient than its predecessor, so I'm done in no time, and ten times easier to clean. My purchase has exceeded my expectations!.
This grater makes me feel conflicted. It gets the job done. I wasn't sure what to make of all the comments about how sharp it is, but I think I've figured it out now! We work with a cut-and-paste technique. After the first time using it and needing a couple of band-aids, I decided to get a more durable glove. It has an unusually sharp edge to it. This is probably my fourth box grater, and none of the others have caused me to lose any flesh. So it's an adjustment, but having to wash cheese out of a glove all the time is a pain, and the super sharp thing makes cleaning the grater even more difficult. My dish brush bristles get caught in the grater, and it gets stuck. Also, because this one is smaller than my previous box grater, it's more difficult to clean it, and the risk of handling it makes it all awkward. I'm keeping it and will use it for a while, but it'll soon become a backup. in favor of something a little more user-friendly, it was put away in the cabinet. I would not want to keep it if I had children, even teenagers, in the house who could use or even handle it. The base, on the other hand, is a problem. The base is necessary to keep it from sliding around on your counter or cutting board, but the base is obnoxious, and whatever you're grating gets stuck in and on the grove in the base. So that's one more thing to add to the cleaning list.
