Product Description

Amazon.com Review

It’s a hassle to break out the gigantic electric food processor to grind just a few tablespoons of food. That’s when Zyliss’s manual food processor is the tool to reach for. This tabletop grater/shredder/slicer comes with three interchangeable 18/10 stainless-steel drums of varying textures to grate smaller quantities of food. The fine drum is excellent for grating a bit of Parmesan cheese to top pasta with marinara sauce, chocolate to garnish a cake, or peanuts to finish off a plate of Phad Thai noodles. The coarse grating drum shreds squash, carrots, or beets for a salad while the slicing drum preps wider discs of these vegetables for further cooking. The tabletop grater has a non-skid rubber bottom and counter clip to keep it firmly mounted on a work surface and a plastic food guide to push food through. The drums are dishwasher-safe and the unit itself wipes clean by hand. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Does everything the big boys do and no power required!, July 9, 2004

By	Matiqua "matiqua" - See all my reviews

I bought this grater when I had an old food processor when all the attachments were broken and I needed finely chopped or grated nuts for my sweets. It is very easy and comfortable to use, thanks to the suction foot that is surprisingly strong for the small size. You just position the grater on a clean surface and turn the lever to block it, then you can choose the drum you need and place it in the grater, screw the handle on and get grating!
There are three drums in the package: slicing, fine grating and coarse grating. You can slice cucumbers for a salad or zucchini for a quiche or anything you want. Or you can finely grate hard cheese like Parmesan, chocolate or nuts: I have used it a number of times for these tasks and I am really satisfied, nuts fine as snow and fluffy Parmesan; you will not touch the chocolate so it doesn't melt on your hands while you are grating. Or maybe you feel like zucchini cheddar waffles and you can coarsely grate both in no time.

The clean up is really easy and quick, but I don't know whether the grater is dishwasher safe, so I always do it by hand.
I find this gadget is really useful for small quantities, when you don't feel like washing all the food processor attachments. The quality is very good and you can rely on years of faithful service. It doesn't even take up too much space in the cupboard, well done Zyliss!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for older hands, September 6, 2005

By	R. Rotman (Big D!) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this product. I have been losing strength in my hands, and all of my other graters were either too difficult to squeeze the handle that presses the food and turn the handle OR they were flimsy and resulted in too many lost fingernails (several near misses on losing skin too). This is just what I needed. It's easy to use and easy to clean. Great price, great product. I recommend this if you have weak hands, and/or long fingernails. If you have neither but know someone who loves to cook and would appreciate an easy to use, convenient to clean and well made gagdet, it would make a great gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little gadget, June 28, 2004

By	Rocco Dormarunno (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Being a bachelor (again), I didn't need the huge food processor that I used to have. Still, I like to cook. Then for Christmas my parents gave me this handy little thing. The Zyliss Mini Food Processor is a convenient and, above all, efficient compact processor that I use just about every other day. It's easy to clean and, so far, pretty durable. It's one of the better products of its type that I have used.
