I just got this grater and I was blown away with how sharp it is! It makes grating so easy. At first I was a little skeptical about the manufacture's claim to having razor sharp teeth but now that I've tried it - I know they are for real. The grater seems to effortlessly shave through everything without tearing or shredding the food. And b/c it was so effortless, I could just hold the grater over my food and grate right onto it. I would highly recommend this grater and will definitely be looking to getting some of their other graters. Cuisipro well done!

I bought this for my boyfriend, who enjoys cooking (yes, what a lucky girl I am!) His mother had one of the brand-name mini zester/graters, which I have also used, so I was hoping this would match its caliber. While it is definitely better at zesting and grating harder cheeses (where my normal box grater would fail), it still isn't as good as the brand-name one. also, this doesn't come in a sheath, so it's sort of dangerous to keep laying around in a drawer. The little thin slats will take your skin off. The brand name one comes with a protective sheet, which also keeps it from dulling.

Fine if you only use it once a month. If you bake or cook with zests or are a fan of fresh parmigiano reggiano on everything, go for a better one.

I bought this as a zester, but I use it all the time for cheese - heaps of cheese just fall on to or into whatever you need cheese in. I used it recently for the ginger I keep frozen and it went through the frozen ginger no problem and made a nifty fluffy little pile of ginger (which I used in my tea pot). I have yet to use it for zesting - but gave it as a gift to a budding chef who zests with it all the time, he says it's GREAT! If it dulls after a year, for this price, I'll just buy another. Buy this with confidence.

I've purchased this and other Cuisipro graters and really appreciate the quality and sharpness of their blades. I've given these graters as gifts for friends and family and everyone loves them. I use this flat grater for parmesan and citrus zests and have used it recently for ginger. This is an essential tool in my kitchen.

What else can one say? This grater/zester is well made, is easy to use and produces very zesty zest. It's grate for greating (or is that great for grating).

It doesn't have a lot of surface area and has a curved top, so I'd avoid using it for things like carrots. It works very well for hard cheeses and for zesting lemons and oranges.

The grater/zester cleans up fairly easily and is comfortable to use. It's also well-priced.

this is a very sturdy zester and at a reasonable price. my only issue is that its a little difficult to get the zest off the back of the grater - you can't just slide it off the end because of the way its constructed. Other than that - a very good product.

I have two problems with this thing:

1. The grating blades are at an angle that causes the food to want to slide to that side...then the fingers get grated. A little practice avoids that though.

2. It doesn't come with any kind of plastic cover so, like, where do you store it to prevent damage to it or your hands? Next time I'll get something with some sort of snap-on cover. I would have gladly paid another buck to have it.

It's just like a Microplane(tm): a kitchen version of a wood-rasp. It just plane (pardon the pun) works. But I take issue with the construction. They cut a corner by making the handle hollow. I appreciate the attempt to make the handle larger and more ergonomic, but it should have been solid. The hollowness throws off the balance and feels cheap in the hand. So, aside from feeling like a cheap toy, it zests and grates with the best of them.

Great Product. Using stamped steel graters is an insult in comparision.

pros- i find it very sharp and efficient. zest comes off quickly without the pith! grates nutmeg superbly.
cons- it does have a slight issue with the balance due to the lightweight handle, and retrieving zest stuck to the back side is a little cumbersome due to the design (both of these have been mentioned by previous reviewers, but are noteworthy)
i do recommend this. great grater for super cheap.
