Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This classic tool grates hard cheeses, nuts, and chocolate with the turn of its crank. It's useful both in the kitchen and at the table--when hot pasta or chilled salad calls for a cascade of freshly grated cheese. Because the crank fits into either side (the other side remains open to spill out grated food), the grater works equally well for left-handers and right-handers. It's made of rugged transparent plastic, and the drum is stainless steel. It slips out of the grater for hand washing. The grater's well measures 1-1/4 by 2-1/4 inches; overall, it is 6 inches long. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Kriss in Las Vegas, January 11, 2003

This review is from: Zyliss Transparent Cheese Grater (Kitchen)

Although the picture shows two drums, the description states that it has stainless steel drums (plural), and that the editorial review states that it is "equiped with both a course and fine grating drum" it only comes with the fine drum. . .the additional drum has to be ordered through Zyliss for ... plus shipping

3.0 out of 5 stars Not sturdy enough, November 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Zyliss Transparent Cheese Grater (Kitchen)

This is a fabulous grater. I used it constantly, a few times a week, to grate hard cheeses like Romano and Parmigiano, washing it in the dishwasher. However, the plastic handle has broken after less than six months of use. I am going to buy the identical-looking Zyliss grater in non-transparent plastic, also listed on Amazon[.com], because I'm hoping the different type of plastic might be sturdier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never scrap your knuckles again., October 31, 2001

This review is from: Zyliss Transparent Cheese Grater (Kitchen)

I've had several types of cheese graters before this one. They either broke or did not provide the type of grating that I desired. This grater provided both, consistency and ease of comfort. Since hard cheeses are now available at any grocery store, once you have used this grater you will never go back to the green cardboard tube of cheese ever again.
