Zyliss Classic Cheese Grater - Gift for Cooks - Culinary Chef Gift - Shredder with Handle - Handheld Grater for Vegetables, Chocolate, Nuts & Hard Cheese - White

Used to have a pampered chef Cheese grater until it broke and replaced it with this model.This is a fantastic greater works very well. When dismantled it is easy to clean.Super shop and generates a lot of cheese Very quickly.

I purchased this grater primarily for Parmesan and other hard cheeses, but quickly found it works very well for grating things other than just cheese; peanuts, almonds, walnuts, for example. Contrary to some other reviewers I find this extremely easy to disassemble and clean. I like this way more than I thought I would, and it's become a multi-purpose tool in my kitchen. My ONLY gripe is that it's plastic, but hey .. it works anyhow.

Easy to use and grates very well. Sturdy and dish washer safe. Good value

I bought this because my Microplane rotary grater broke, and the latter is no longer available for purchase (why???). I use it exclusively for hard parmesan cheese.The Zyliss grater has many similarities with the Microplane grater, and they both work pretty well, although they both have the same defect: they flex a lot and are fragile. Note that, unlike most other rotary graters on the market, the Zyliss grater has the same acid-etched microblades as the Microplane. These make a HUGE difference. The microblades are far superior to the conventional blades, both for ease of grating (requiring less pressure and torque, and allowing greater speed), and quality of the result (thin slivers of cheese instead of rough fragments).Given that these blades work so well, it is annoying that nobody is selling a sturdier grater with them. A user of either grater needs to place their thumb directly over the cheese pusher to apply the correct force, because the handle flexes too much. Similarly, the user must be careful about how they hold the side handle (the part that rotates) in order to apply a clean torque to the cylinder, without sideways forces that can make the side handle break off. This can be learned, but never perfectly, and makes the device fragile, especially in inexperienced hands.Compared to the Microplane grater (see photo: the Zyliss grater is the white one on the left) this feels slightly sturdier, but it is probably more fragile, because the torque is transmitted via a small shaft rather than along the entire side of the cylinder. The cylinder is slightly smaller, and so is the surface available for grating. There are fewer blades on the Zyliss, and they are larger. Thus the Zyliss is smaller and slower, and the cheese flakes are larger. I prefer the smaller flakes from the Microplane, but I am also happy with the larger ones.Unless the Microplane becomes available again, this is the one to buy. The flat graters are OK but much less convenient, and one cannot shave the crust as far without risking their fingertips.

Works well, and can be disassembled entirely to be thoroughly cleaned. I take mine apart and place it on the second shelf of my dish washer.

OK, its a good rotary cheese grater. The assembly is simple and straight forward, its comfortable for me to hold in my hand and operate, the hopper for holding the cheese for grating is smooth and feeds the cheese to where it's supposed to go. (You'd be surprised! Some of these rotary "restaurant" cheese graters have a reinforcing brace inside that stops the hard cheeses from feeding down onto the grating wheel!) It seems well built. I'll get back to that in a year or so. Meanwhile: It loses a star for clogging with softer cheeses. The barrel is a rather small diameter, so the longer curls of soft cheese simply get stuck... quickly. The same small diameter makes it hard to dig the stuck, grated cheese out of it, too. So... it took me three stops to dig cheddar cheese out and grate a mere ounce or two of cheese. Won't do that again. Now I need two different graters depending on the cheese.

It grates. It produces a nicely fine product. The harder the cheese, the better it works. But. It does not clean easily. The simple rigid curved steel 'file' type does the same job and cleans up much easier. Unlike the file type, you are much less likely to grate the end of your fingers. After using, the crank handle does not unscrew easily. You must find a way to grip the other end to keep it from turning as you try to unscrew the crank handle. as the mechanism is cloged with tiny bits of cheese Cleaning the grate itself requires lots of hot water and a short bristle brush. I use an old tooth brush. I am reluctant to put the grater plate in the dish washer because the typical detergent will eat up thin stainless steel.

It was as shown in the picture, works as described.I’m happy with it, works good! No extra pieces or parts to keep track of.

Al principio pensé que la calidad era baja, pero al usarlo me di cuenta que es una maravilla, lo hace rápido y fácil

The media could not be loaded. Depois da experiência de satisfação curta com produtos semelhantes mais baratos que simplesmente quebraram, decidi comprar este modelo, bem mais caro do que os similares.Logo quando tiramos da caixa, a diferença entre os produtos é notável. Aparência mais robusta, mais firmeza para ralar queijos mais firmes (observem o video) e uma grande vantagem: A manivela pode ser colocada dos 2 lados! Isso é uma grande facilidade para quem tem em casa mais de uma pessoa usando o produto. Funciona igualmente bem para destros e canhotos.Outro ponto positivo é a maneira que o ralador se prende a manivela. Ao invés de usar pequenas hastes frágeis, existe um sistema de rosca que é contrária ao movimento para ralar os queijos. Demonstra mais resistência ao usar. Gostei muito e estou satisfeito com a compra.

We wouldn’t look back.Having grated manually for years - this is the best product - we love it

Excelente custo benefício
