Zyliss Classic Rotary Grater, NSF-Certified Restaurant Cheese Grater

Easy to use and store. You will go back to this frequently! I have hand issues like arthritis and was getting fatigued box grating my parmigiano reggiano. And grating my fingers. This grater is so easy on the hands and makes quick work of grating a couple of cups of cheese. When it gets to the end and not grating anymore just open and rearrange the piece to grate more and the remaining pieces are small enough to use as well. Easy to disassemble. Soak in soapy water a few minutes and if necessary scrub with an old toothbrush. It will clean quickly and is a good trade off for the ease of use. Just think about cleaning a box grater — much harder. I have one for about 5 years and it’s fine. No dishwasher though.

Perfect for grating hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano. The grater disassembles extremely easily for cleaning, and it only takes seconds to wash after grating a hard cheese However, I do not recommend using it with semi-hard cheeses like cheddar only because the softer cheese gets stuck everywhere and it's a little hard to clean it out completely.

Nice cheese grader. It is like the ones used by Olive Garden. No cheap, easy to use and can be cleaned in the dishwasher on the top rack. It works very well and easy to use.

Loved this for grating Parmesan. The only reason for not giving a 5 star is that it wasn't very durable. The nob on the crank handle won't stay on. Wish this was sturdier.

Replaced an old cheese grater that broke. Really liked that this was NSF certified. Really happy with it as it comes apart easily and is dishwasher safe. It operates much easier than the old grater and provides a nice size of cheese. Much better than other brand we looked at and would highly recommend this grater for hard cheeses.

For hard Parmesan cheese blocks this grater is perfect and sturdy parts. I use it all the time and am glad I bought it.

After trying every grater, zester, and shredder I have (and I have a lot) I finally decided to get something just for Parmesan Reggiano cheese. My arm was killing me with mostly less than desirable results. While searching I saw this one and recognized it from what some restaurants use. It’s excellent! I just grated a huge slab of Parmesan and it was so easy. It only took a few minutes and no sore arms! It was a bit tricky to take apart so I looked it up online, followed the recommendations and it popped right apart. Cleanup was super easy. It seems to good to be true since it’s just plastic and a (sharp) metal grating barrel but it comes with a 5 year warranty and it’s got a good brand name.

Okay, I want to start with I DO LIKE IT, but not for the price I paid. I like purchasing items that have multi-use. This item is found will ONLY grate hard cheese. It took forever trying to get the Colby jack cheese out of the grater portion because it was too soft. Now thank goodness I do use alot of parmesan cheese and I use it often, so I do use this at least once a week. Its light weight. Easy to clean IF YOU ARE NOT GRATING SOFT CHEESES. Shreds my parmesan pretty easy. I havent used it on ginger, garlic, and onion, but I imagine it will work good for those because they are hard...so i can definitely see it being versatile for OTHER hard things. I have tiny hands - like size small medical gloves and xs winter gloves (im 5'2"), this not very easy to use long term with the smaller hands, but my husband (6'4") can use this VERY easily. Now it is useful for parmesan, and if you've ever had to grate parmesan by hand, this definitely eases that.

I'm not sure I would call it Restaurant certified, but it works great. You can switch the handle side for left handed people. Highly recommend that you freeze softer cheeses before grating them. Cleans nicely in the dishwasher.

Conoscevo già il prodotto ho una grattugia della stessa marca da più di 20 anni ed è come nuova. Una piacevole conferma della bontà del prodotto.

Muy buen rallador de queso, fácil de desmontar y limpiar

Our previous Zyliss lasted for many years but needed replacement. This successor does the job well.

Good, clean, easy to use; but worth noting that stress at back of cheese insert occurs when pressing - recommend reinforcement to prevent plastic cracking
