Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This attractive, hand-held grater, featuring an 18/8 stainless-steel grater blade and black exterior housing, is a great asset at the dining table, especially on nights when pasta is served--let your dinner guests grate just the right amount of Parmesan for their penne. It also comes in handy for cake decorating--accent your chocolate frosted cake with some grated white chocolate in no time at all. This versatile grater can also chop nuts. And it's dishwasher-safe, so cleanup's a breeze. --Julie McCowan

1.0 out of 5 stars Not all it's cracked up to be, May 21, 2001

This review is from: Hoffritz Stainless Steel Rotary Grater (Kitchen)

This grater is not a convenience, it's more of a punishment. I have tried it for hash browns, cheese, chocolate, etc. I thought at first I was using it incorrectly, but then realized, there really is no wrong way of using this. Everytime I have used it it has caused me so much pain in my hands that I would rather do it the old fashioned way and just grate the cheese manually. My fingers and hands ache so bad that I can't even hold a pencil after using this gadget. I would not recommend this to anyone. Unfortunately, you have to rate this with 1 being the lowest star, but in reality I give it NO STARS!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Easy to turn, but try getting your cheese out, September 30, 2001

I bought this product in a mall-store, but had to leave my comments here. It is easy to turn and fits comfortably in your hands, but I've found that the cheese (as it is grated) jams up inside the tube instead of falling out as you go the way it ought to. This means you have to dig the grated cheese out with a knife or fork, and then you don't have shreds of cheese, you have jammed up chunks of cheese shreds.

Stainless rotary graters do require more hand strength, but they get the job done much better than this one does.

2.0 out of 5 stars A big dissapointment, April 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Hoffritz Stainless Steel Rotary Grater (Kitchen)

If you're of Italian heritage and you grate a lot of cheese, don't waste your time with this one. When the quantity of cheese in the grater gets low, it tends to be very difficult to turn. It also didn't last as long as I expected. Try a different one instead.
