About this deal

The three photo- etched, razor-sharp blades : ultra-coarse, ribbon and fine- Made in USA – giving you an efficient and effective way to effortlessly grate and zest citrus fruits, ginger, parmesan, spices, garlic , coconut, onions, apples, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, chocolate, soft and hard cheese, cucumber and many more according to your cooking wishes. I’ve been using a Microplane rasp-style grater for zesting lemons and grating nutmeg for years, so it didn’t surprise me when the Microplane 4-Sided Stainless Steel Multi-Purpose Box Grater performed like a champ. Unlike traditional stamped-style models, the blades for this grater are etched into the metal using a chemical process that creates super-sharp edges. That allowed this grater to perform above-average on all four sides. The fine holes resulted in beautifully zested lemons and a pile of airy, fluffy Parmesan, whereas the coarse holes gave us long strands of mozzarella and potato shreds that made the best latkes in the group. In addition to the multiple sides, graters also come in two styles: stamped and etched. The stamped models represent the tools of our childhood, with rigid grating surfaces stamped into stainless steel. These holes protrude out from the side of the grater, catching food in their wide holes and forcing them over the cutting surface. They’re generally very efficient on the coarse side and horribly annoying on the fine side. Etched graters, on the other hand, are created by using a chemical process that corrodes teeth into the side of thin metal. It creates a tiny opening that’s just large enough to grab onto your food, making it ideal for fine grating. The metal used for these types is thinner, though, so they will flex in and out when being used with heavy-duty foods. What's the Difference Between a Grater and a Mandolin Slicer? When testing Parmesan cheese, we found the graters had four types of fine shredding: individual strands, wide chunks, fluffy and soft, and super annoying to remove from the grater! We chose eight high-quality tools (six box models, one flat grater, and one boxed multi-grater) and put them to the test. Our tests were designed to assess the overall usability of each tool, with specific attention to blade sharpness, efficiency, and ease of use.

I’d wager a guess that almost everyone owns a cheese grater. It was one of the first tools I learned to use in the kitchen, and they’re so commonplace that you’ll probably find one in a vacation rental property. You might not think too much about your cheese grater, and honestly I didn’t, either. But, after using our winning grater—the Microplane 4-Sided Stainless Steel Multi-Purpose Box Grater The ribbon blade is ideal for chocolate, onions, zucchini, apples, cheese, potatoes, carrots and more.

Zyliss SmoothGlide Rasp Grater: This grater didn’t have enough teeth and the bend in the handle made grating lemons awkward and uncomfortable when held upside down.

The coarse holes are perfect for taking down everyone’s favorite melting food, but they're also useful for grating carrots for cake or coleslaw, as well as potatoes for latkes and hash browns. The medium-sized holes work the same way as the coarse ones, just with a smaller shred. And the fine holes are designed for grating parmesan, zesting lemons, or reducing ginger to a paste. While I admit that I almost never use the slicing side, it's available for making uniform slices of cheese for appetizer platters or vegetables for gratin dishes if you don't have a mandolin slicer.
