Boxed Grater, Black, One Size, CTG-00-BG

Update: I love this grater so much, I keep buying them and giving them away every time I visit someone struggling with a piece of junk grater. To date, I have purchased 5 of these graters and boy am I grateful for them! This is an excellent grater! I read many reviews for graters before I settled on this one. I received an EKCO grater as a wedding gift, and it lasted and was going strong for 15 years, that's saying a lot considering I have a huge family (12 children) and we cook massive amounts of food. When that grater began to get dull, I gave it away to someone who didn't own one, to make sure that I would buy myself a new one. Of course I purchased another EKCO brand grater, that was a slightly different model than the one I had received as a wedding gift 20 years earlier, because I had been so pleased with the former grater I figured the brand must be good quality. Imagine my surprise to discover that the first time I used the grater it wasn't even as sharp as the 20 year old grater that I had just given away! Then, within a month the handle had popped off the top, and I needed another grater. So, I thought it must have been the new model, I'll get the original model again. So I searched far and wide, and bought another EKCO grater that I was sure was the sturdy, original model, and it functioned only slightly better than the other one. It was never very sharp and the plastic handle was much thinner and brittle, and cracked in half within a few months. I just continued to struggle with this one for 2 years because I couldn't find anything better and then got another. (Third time's a charm right?) This was no better than the other one, but since it was the best available in the stores in my area, i got it anyway. All the while I was bemoaning the fact that the Economy Kitchen Co (EKCO) quality had obviously gone down so much. So two years later I moved and purchased this lovely grater from Cuisinart via Amazon, and boy am I ecstatic with it! I can honestly say that it appears to be more durable and better quality than the one I received for a wedding gift! The handle is very securely riveted on, not spot welded, it is a comfortable thick size, easy to grasp, non slip, and every side of the grater is super sharp!) I've grated raw potatoes and cheese, sliced carrots and zested limes and it's worked like a charm! I saw previous complaint about the no slip ring that fits around the bottom being unsanitary. It's poppycock! You simply remove the silicone ring after each use, and rinse it off like any other kitchen utensil and dry it before putting it back on. Easy peasy! I have already recommended this grater to a few people, and I highly recommend it to you! I'm editing my original review. I ordered this grater in April of 2016, it's now 11/13/18 it's been over 2.5 years of almost daily use and I couldn't be happier with this grater! It's still very sharp and sturdy. I accidentally melted the non slip ring around the bottom by setting it in a hot frying pan while I quickly grated something 😂 I obviously wasn't thinking clearly. So I just tossed the ring in the trash because there was no fixing it.

We needed to replace our old grater we'd had for years as it was dull and had dents that made it difficult to use. We initially opted for a cheap one from the supermarket - big mistake. It was flimsy and difficult to use, and the blades weren't even as sharp as our old, dented one had been! So I did some research, found this on Amazon - and it is exactly as the other reviews said. Truly a "great'-er - it's solid, sharp, well-made, and easy to use. The rubber on the bottom hasn't come off of ours as some others have mentioned, and it makes it grip the counter very well making it even easier to use. But even without it this grater is a good choice, it's very sharp, heavy, and the placement of the blades make it slice through whatever is needed (mainly we use it for cheese) really well. I never thought a simple grater like this could make such a difference in the kitchen, but it really does.

Ive watched several reviews to see what i should get and this cuisinart one kept popping up. Well its for good reason, super easy to clean, has deep cuts so it shreds the cheese super quick. Has not dulled in over a year! Grades perfect and love the simple easy to use design. The removable grip on the bottom is super handy too!

About 6 month ago I bought a set of ALLTOP hand-held Food Graters, and thought they were great so donated my 50 year old box grater to Goodwill. And they are great for small jobs, but I soon missed my box grater for larger jobs, especially when I had to grate large amounts of block cheese. America's Test Kitchen recommended this grater so I purchased one and I do so love have a box grater again. The only change I would have them make to this product is to make the large grating surface nubs stick up just a bit higher. It just not seem to grab the cheese the way my very old one did. But all-in-all this is a great product.

Dollar for dollar, this is the grater you want: quality stainless steel, a comfortable handle, and a rubber base so that is doesn't slip. It's just your old-fashioned, straightforward box cheese grater, with different sized slots for different cheeses/vegetables. It is sharp and works as well as my old one did (years ago). It's stainless steel, so it's not going to rust. Two minor negatives: 1. IF the rubber base comes off (and I can't seem to get mine off), it is difficult to remove at best, so cleaning might prove to be a pain in the long run. 2. This is bigger in two dimensions than advertised, so if you're planning to put it in a certain drawer, you might consider the actual dimensions: 9 13/16 inches high (less than advertised) x 3 13/16 inches (wider than advertised) x 4 5/8 (slightly wider than advertised). So, it doesn't fit in the drawer I had planned for it based on the given stats, but I have just put it in a cupboard instead—not a star-taker. I don't need (or even want) a built-in container for what I've grated—just put this puppy in a bowl or over your cutting board and go to it! I tried the Vremi 5 Piece Cheese Grater Set with Container - Microplane Zester Parmesan Cheese Shredder Vegetable Slicer Cheese Graters - Fine and Coarse Metal Hand Cheese Grater Adjustable Hard Cheese Slicer : , a cute little contraption with four different inserts and a storage box. When it was selling for about $6 it was an okay purchase, but now it's jumped to nearly $10—not worth it. You can find the same quality in a dollar store.

Está de buen tamaño, se acomoda bien para rayar la zanahoria, la calabaza, el queso. Todo lo que gustes ✨ Me gusta porque es de acero inoxidable. Lo que sí noté de inicio es que viene bien afilada. Así que mucho cuidado al manipularla y al lavarla 🙏🏻

I have tried various shapes and sizes from various countries. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese… this is where I stop searching, the holy grail 😊

Good quality, decent price

A qualidade dos materiais é altíssima, muito robusto e vale muito a pena. Amazon perfeita na entrega.

I only use the medium-sized slots, but am happy with the performance of the box grater. I like that it doesn't have any plastic parts that can crack. Also like the rubber base that keeps it from slipping. Great price for the performance of this grater.
