Better than MicroplaneNovember 15, 2008 Definitely better than Microplane in its shape (slightly rounded) and its sharpness (hide your knuckles). Also love the fact that the end you place on the counter/cutting board is rubber coated to prevent slippage. Only drawback is the plastic handle: it's too short (and I have little hands!), and the plastic is cheezy and uncomfortable. A lot of my utensils are Good Grips, and you really come to rely on and appreciate the heft, girth and comfort of their handles.
Very niceOctober 30, 2008 Ordered it mostly to run my order total up to get free shipping, but it turned out to be exactly what I needed. It really does work well on chedder and other cheeses, at least for one or two servings. Haven't used it for zesting yet, but my guess is it will be perfect. It cleans up easily. I recommend it.
Finally!October 23, 2008 Finally- a zester/grater that actually zests! This is the 3rd zester I've bought, because the 1st 2 would not take any zest off of citrus fruit. Maybe they're fine for grating parmesan or something, but I need one for grating citrus, and this one does it perfeclty and effortlessly!
Well made except...October 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have two problems with this thing:
1. The grating blades are at an angle that causes the food to want to slide to that side...then the fingers get grated. A little practice avoids that though.
2. It doesn't come with any kind of plastic cover so, like, where do you store it to prevent damage to it or your hands? Next time I'll get something with some sort of snap-on cover. I would have gladly paid another buck to have it.
Great grater!September 16, 2008 This Cuisipro grater is fantastic. It's long and lean, so it fits better in my kitchen drawers than a wide grater, and it's sharp. We've used it several times to grate parmesan cheese, and it makes the cheese so soft and fluffy it melts right into whatever we're cooking or serving. We put it right in the dishwasher and it comes out clean every time, no rust. I am tempted to buy a second one so that there's always one handy. I can't imagine trying to handwash it! It would shred the sponge.
