I had ordered the smaller version of this which my cat promptly knocked off the counter and broke. That was kind of a blessing, since I ordered this larger size and it's MUCH easier to use than the small version. No more gumming up your box grater trying to prepare ginger. It's easy to use, well-designed (catches all the juice) and easy to clean. It has a rubber ring on the bottom so it stays put. Really an essential tool for the home cook.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for grating foods for my baby, April 25, 2008

I am using it to grate apples and pears for my 7-months-old. It works great! Apples are "strained". I am very happy with this purchase, even though it is not cheap. I would recommend it, it is much better to use, especially for babies.

I was given this grater as a gift, and I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful job it does on ginger. I have arthritis in my hands and wrists and had found it increasingly difficult to grate ginger for Soboro, one of our favorite recipes. With this grater I need to use very little pressure and I get spectacular results. It cuts the amount of time down to a quarter of the time it took when I was using a microplane grater, and as an added bonus I found the juice clearer, with less of the "milky" quality I was getting before. It's a dream to clean, too. It's dishwasher safe, but just a quick rinse under running water got rid of all the remaining fibers. I cannot rate this grater highly enough. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. I can't wait to try grating an onion to add to guacamole...!
