Cleanliness Issues

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018

The grater itself works just fine. The issue is with the bottom design and cleanliness. The rubber gasket around the bottom is designed and attached in such a way that grating things (such as cheese) forces food into the gasket between the metal grater body and the rubber gasket. Simple enough to take the gasket off and wash, except that it's a pain to get back on, and absolutely needs to be done with every use (unless you enjoy food particles lining the gasket). With leaving the gasket off, the metal at the bottom is bent/rounded upwards and not sealed, so there is likely food particles also getting shoved in there.

The pros are that the grater grates well, and aside from the above mentioned concerns is constructed with good material and I don't doubt that it will be durable.

**Updated 1/17/18. The company reached out to me after seeing my concerns and addressed them with me. Outstanding customer service, and an honest company that cares about its customers. I look forward to potentially seeing an updated product some day, and I will certainly buy Spring Chef products in the future.

First off, I've only used this one day, but in that day I've attempted shredding and slicing carrots, slicing and grating cheese, and washing this item. So far I'm kicking myself for wasting the money. The slicing blade didn't slice the carrots, tore them apart in chunks. The medium grater didn't grate the carrots, just kinda threw them around the area. I shredded cheddar cheese using the medium grater, got chunks and shreddings which worked since I was melting the cheese in soup. The slicing blade did work to slice blueberry cheddar cheese. Both cheeses were semi-soft.

I'm glad I kept my old slicer/grater, but still have hopes this new utensil will just take a learning curve.

The only thing good about it, so far, the bottom rubber piece came off easily for ease of cleaning. Haven't tried putting it back on yet.

Great product

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

I am an 83 year old male e who started learning to cook at age nine, so I have seen a few box graters in my life. My grandmother, my mother and a number that I have owned over the years. I say all this to say this is the absolute best box grater that I have ever used. There may be better box graters but I haven’t seen them. Number one it’s large and open enough that even a man with big hands can get his hands inside to easily clean it. The blades are sharp and they grate or slice easily (be careful) it’s made of high quality stainless steel so there is no problem with rust or corrosion, the rubber base keeps it steady so it doesn’t slip while using. To sum up it is easy to use easy to clean and by all appearance very durable. You can probably pass it to your grandchildren. I can with great confidence recommend this product.

The BEST GRATER I've used!

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2018

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

A 'GRATE' product! I saw this and decided to check it out. I wasn't expecting to enjoy using a grater, but this one is grate! I got the larger size and it's perfect! The gratings fall inside the grater and it holds a lot! Often I need to empty and grate more, but this one allows me to grate a lot of cheese or carrots or apples...etc. at one time! Another plus is the rubber on the bottom that keeps it from slipping. AND it's nice and sharp! I think it works so well because, instead of flat sides, they're convex! I'd highly recommend it to anyone for themselves, or who needs a 'grate' Christmas present for someone who loves to cook!

Why look further?!?

I got tired of gripping thin grater handles and having to empty out the grater repeatedly...and so gave myself a gift of a grater that can comfortably handle big jobs. Just seeing this product makes me smile and using it makes me very happy.

Someone elsewhere griped about cleaning out food debris from the rubber trim. First, I’m not concerned about that because I won’t be grating raw meat. Second, that trim pops off like a dream if you’re at all worried like that fella was.

For the money, a great product.

I guess in the kitchen, it always comes back to basics. Sure, there are many things in your kitchen that can make your life a lot easier but setting them up and cleaning them and then putting them away such as a food processor with the shredding attachments; may not be worth the hassle. I reverted back to a basic box shredder and I found this one amongst all that was offered on Amazon. It has the basic things, that anyone who works in the kitchen needs when they are shredding or slicing vegetables, meat or cheese. The good part of this inexpensive yet sturdy grader is that it has a rubber foot so it does not move around if you use your countertop to anchor it while grading something that may be a little more difficult. That is a plus. The one minor thing that I did not like is that the handle does not have any sort of rubber or anti-slip material so that if your hand is wet it does not move around. For the money, this is a great product. T

Grates vegetables, not fingers!

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2017

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

Nice and sturdy and sharp, and the "rubber bumpers" help me to avoid grating my fingers in with the vegetables. In an effort to move toward a vegetable-heavy diet, I had previously purchased a mandolin, but found it too complicated and tedious to use regularly. This grater is perfect; simple and efficient. It's now my go-to kitchen tool and supports my new motto, "The only processed food in this house is what is processed in the kitchen!"

A very good product

Since I learned that grated cheese store bought had silicon in it, I will grate my own cheese. this thing is big and so well built. I love it. I can make my cheese large or small. I haven't tried it out on potatoes yet, but that is next. easy clean up . Throw it in the dishwasher and its good. The rubber seal sometimes collects the cheese but easy clean up. I love it and it works great. I would recommend it to anyone.
