5.0 out of 5 stars Better than advertised!, December 17, 2002

I'd seen all the chefs on FoodTV using microplane graters, but you never know if something will work as it's advertised to -- this does. I bought the double one thinking that the wider grating surface would be better. After using both the large and small graters, I'm completely sold. It's superb for grating garlic, onion, cheese, chocolate and for zesting it simply can't be beaten. You can zest a whole lemon in seconds, and the zest just melts into whatever you're doing. I used to use a zester and then chop the results, which were never as fine as I liked it. So, if you're looking for great results, BUY this grater!

I am very pleased with this grater. Not only does it grate cheese, in particular parmesan, with ease, but it allows me to use fresh garlic (which I love) in virtually any recipe almost instantly without the tedious task of mincing it with a knife (which I hate). If you frequently use ingredients that require grating, you can't go wrong with the Microplane! Note: for best results, rinse off as soon as you are done using it--otherwise, you may find yourself "grating" your sponge!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, but..., December 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Microplane Interchangeable Grater System (Kitchen)

As the other reviewers have said, this is an incredible product. You should buy it. However, the "Customers who bought this also bought..." section recommended a slider attachment that keeps you from slicing your fingers off. Good idea, but it doesn't fit this model. Be aware that the 35000 series is a different size from the 37000 series and the accessories aren't interchangeable.
