Rotary Cheese Grater Hand Crank Cheese Shredder, Black

Life changing! I should have bought this sooner. I eat a lot of freshly grated cheese and this is faster, easier, and safer. Not dishwasher safe but is very easy to clean. Highly recommend!

This grater has honestly become one of those kitchen tools that makes my life so much easier. It has a button on the base that keeps it completely secured to the countertop, so it doesn’t move around while I’m using it. It also comes with different grating options depending on what I need. The one I use the most is the cheese grater because it gives me really fine cheese in just a few minutes, without having to put in much effort. It’s definitely one of those little kitchen upgrades that makes cooking so much easier.

I love, love, love this grater! I saw it on YouTube’s Mandy in the Making channel and decided to give it a try. It’s so fast and easy to use and it washes in the dishwasher just fine. It’s really great for grating your own cheese which is much better and cheaper than the kind in the bag.

Bought this not sure if I would like it, but really wanted it because store bought shredded cheese lately has been starting to smell and go bad very, very fast. I bought some blocks and this thing tears through them easily. I have gotten really good at know how much of a block to push in to get the cup or two we need. I like to mix some cheddar with some variation of jack cheese. Honestly, I can only comment on the cheese grater ability as I don't remember having used any of the other four blades yet, but the grater works great. Part of the reason for losing a star is the fact that it quickly pulls a thin sliver of cheese under the blade to the bottom of the core that never does get shredded. But it is a very small bit compared to what it does shred and it is like a little bonus for the shredder (me) when cleaning it out before washing it. Don't get carried away risking your fingers by not using the black plunger, just use it. The second reason for a small part of the lost start is the suction to the counter. 9 out of ten times I have no problems as long as I don't try to suction to surfaces that suctions are not going to stick to. But that other 1 time it takes two or three times before I can get it to stick. This is even sometimes on me as the suction is not fully clean, but sometimes it is and just does want to suction. Doe snot happen often so not much of a loss. Construction is great, simple but sturdy and seems like it will last a while. It disassembles quickly into three parts you need to wash, the black push plunger, the stainless steel shredding cage, and the plastic core. The black base and handle don't need more than a quick wipe down. It usually takes me about 5-8 minutes to get this out, shred one or two cups of cheese, disassemble, wash and put away, so this is a huge win for me. No more early spoiling of store bought shredded cheese. To sum up, loses a star for a small part of cheese ending up smooshed on bottom of plastic core and very rarely not wanting to suction to counter, would do 4.5 stars if I could because it is close to perfect. Everything else is all positives.

Love this little hand crank shredder! It handles cheese beautifully, and so much simpler and easier to clean than a food processor. It has very stable suction to the counter, so doesn't move around at all as you shred the cheese or vegetable.

I love my new cheese grater! Easy to use, saves time and money! No waste!!

Love this cooking tool! Easy to put together (after the first time using it you’re set and it assembles quickly). I absolutely love that it is dishwasher safe. Know that you want to wipe the countertop clean and leave it moist, then wet/moisten the suction base. Place it where you will have room to turn the handle to grate or slice. Turn the dial on the back side of the base towards the chute if the unit. I use this to grate my chunks of block cheese to grate, because buying grated cheese that is coated with preservatives and clumping retardant (ewwww). Wrap leftover cheese in parchment paper and place in a baggie in the fridge to extend the life. Loved it so much I bought as a gift for my adult children. Indispensable.

Tired of trimming my nails using a box grater, I purchased this after watching so many people in videos using rotary graters. This is the first rotary grater I have ever used (except that hand held one sold by Pampered Chef) so maybe they are all like this one. Here are the things I do not like: 1. Shredding cheese - if it is a harder cheese like parmesan, it's fine, but a softer cheese like a cheddar, tends to get clogged up inside the rotary blade if you don't keep reaching up and pulling it out. Shouldn't it just come out with either gravity or pushed out as more cheese is grated? 2. Suction - There are several issues surrounding the suction which is how this product holds onto a countertop. You turn the little handle in the back to make or break the suction. I am handicapped, so I do as much prep as I can at the dining table - which is wood and this product doesn't adhere by suction to my table. I have a glass cutting board that I attach it to. HOWEVER, I am not strong enough to turn that suction knob at the angle the shredder needs to be to turn the handle to shred. It's a good thing that I have to use the glass cutting board because I can turn that at a 90 degree angle to turn the suction knob, and then turn the cutting board back to actually start shredding. If I am shredding something harder, like a carrot, or trying to use the ice crusher, I have to try to hold the shredder stable while simultaneously holding down that little thing in the top to push the food through with my left hand while turning the hand crank with my right hand, otherwise the suction messes up and I have to try to stick it down again. 3. Slicer - I think I have only tried slicing potatoes. The blades are sharp so they do slice fairly easily, but part of the potatoes get stuck between the blade and the plastic housing so every few potatoes I have to take it all apart and put it back together to keep slicing. It's definitely faster and easier than using a knife, safer than using a box grater/slicer or mandolin, but if you are making au gratin potatoes, especially for a crowd, I'd dig out the food processor and use that instead. I find that while the thickness of the slices are pretty uniform, the slices are not "pretty" because once the potato is in there, the blade is just going to slice whichever side touches it so you aren't likely to get pretty little "rounds." 4. It's kind of hard to take apart to clean. Mostly just trying to press the "ejection button" while trying to slide the top piece off. It's nice that it feels pretty sturdy, but as I make purchases to make my life easier as I age, I have to wonder why things have to be so difficult. The irony of it all. IS THERE ANYTHING I LIKE? lol yah, as mentioned, it is definitely a safter option (when used and cleaned with care) than using a mandolin or box grater, and more precise thickness of slices than using a knife. I do use this product frequently and haven't tried replacing it so I guess it's not THAT annoying. I would, however, be very curious to purchase a different one just to see how they compare. Maybe my rating on this one would actually increase?

Os cortadores de muita má qualidade, não vale a pena comprar, desperdício de dinheiro.

Bought it with some level of skepticism! It works and I use it every day now.

Es versátil y muy eficiente

This may be the single greatest kitchen gadget I've gotten. I am coming from a box grater and as a result I hated shredding stuff with it like cheese. And then cleaning a box grater is clunky and weird. Its big with lots of sharp edges that can scuff your sponges if you're not paying attention. If you've ever used a mechanical pencil sharpener in school then you know how to use this. Just stick a deli container under the spout and this beast can shred two cups of cheese in about 10 seconds. I also use it to slice cucumber for cucumber sandwiches and to slice salami for charcuterie. It is a wonderful device. The one bummer is the seal that secures it so you can shred. It won't work on my counter and will only stick to my stovetop if I first wipe it with a wet rag so the surface is a bit damp... and then it sticks almost too well. One other thing I should mention is the clean up. Its much easier than a box grater in that the blades are smaller and cylindrical so they're easier to soak and get your sponge into. All you have to do is fold ypur sponge in half and spin it around a few times. The right angles on a box grater make cleaning the inside clunkier. Get this gadget 👍 👍
