Rating: - Very SHARP, but awkward design
I've owned more than my fair share of graters over the years, and I'm always on the hunt for better culinary products and gadgets. When I saw the glowing reviews of this particular model in places like Cooks Illustrated, King Arthur Flour, etc., I decided to give it a whirl.

Rating: - Best one out there...but...
This is the sharpest grater out there, and it maintains that sharpness. The only downfall to this product is the plastic.

You can shred a large block of cheddar (mmmmmm.....) in about 2/3 the usual time, and the blade face is wider and longer than most other models. The zesting blades also work reasonably well. I haven't touched my microplane since buying this grater. The only downside is that the absence of a hinge to open it up makes cleaning ... Read More
