Product Information

Cheese professionals always look to Boska for sleek, brilliantly designed cheese tools, and this is no exception. With most graters, you run the cheese over the grater, but this tool is designed to run over the cheese, which is both easier and safer for your fingers. Likewise, it's nice to have more control over the grater. Is this the right tool if you need to shred a pound of cheddar for your cheesy potato recipe? No. But for smaller jobs, this is an excellent option. It’ll fit in your silverware drawer and is easy to throw in the dishwasher. Rotary graters are especially useful for hard Italian cheeses like Parmesan or Pecorino. They can also be used for chopping nuts or grating chocolate. Some devoted fans even store them in their fridge with cheese inside. They can be easier to maneuver than some of the other styles, and you run less risk of minor injury with them. Plus, you often have the option of several grate sizes. On the other hand, they also take up a lot of room to store. Many come with two parts, and if you lose one of the parts, the device becomes unusable. Still, rotary graters that feature a suction base for easy use have an edge over box graters. Flat Using parmesan cheese, we used the grater both standing up and flat over a bowl and found it worked well both ways. Though the plastic didn’t feel like it would last forever, and the grating area was a bit smaller than some of the others, the low price point and versatility still push this one to the top of the list. When tested with mozzarella, it worked quite well and didn't gum up as much as anticipated—a win for soft cheese lovers everywhere. Most food processors come with a grating plate, plus there are optional attachments for appliances like KitchenAids. These make grating cheese and chopping vegetables incredibly easy, with no fear of accidentally grating your own skin. It's worth noting they are not always effective for small amounts of cheese, though, and if you don’t already have a food processor, it’s probably not worth getting one just for this purpose.

Grating parmesan with this attachment was a flawless experience during testing. It grated exactly like it was supposed to and could easily handle bigger batches. It also performed really well with mozzarella—though soft cheese took longer to grate than hard cheese, it didn't get gummed up or cause the machine to struggle.Cheese graters can be used for much more than cheese. You can shred veggies, such as carrots or potatoes, get a head start on sauce by pulverizing tomatoes, make bread crumbs with toasted bread, zest citrus, or even grate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. Box graters get points here because the different sides usually have different sizes of holes. Rasp graters also get points for their ease of use and ability to take on miscellaneous but incredibly useful jobs, like zesting a bit of ginger. Electric or rotary models can often prep ingredients like veggies, nuts, and more.

Ideally, you shouldn’t get a hand cramp while using your cheese grater. It also shouldn’t slip out of your hands, even if they're wet. Your grater should be sharp enough to cut through cheese or veggies without much resistance. Sharpness also matters when it comes to things like zesting—if the grater is dull, it’s likely to dig into the bitter citrus pith instead of scrape the delicate, aromatic outside.
