Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater - NSF Restaurant Certified Handheld Grater - Can be used for Hard Cheese, Chocolate & More - With Comfortable Handle & Easy-to-Clean Drum - White

Works as expected seems high quality

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.

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.

While deserving of its reputation (an America's Test Kitchen recommendation) and is great for hard cheeses, this is a near-disaster for soft cheeses. Tried it on a block of Kraft mozzarella and it quickly clogged up the drum -- revealing just how difficult it can be to clean the drum. The IKEA UPPFYLLD was a much better solution for me. The grater "guts" are a cylinder, open at both ends. The Zyliss "guts" are open only on one end. When it comes to clean up, the IKEA design is radically better. The IKEA comes with two cylinders: The one with small holes does nearly as good a job as the Zyliss with hard cheeses; the one with large holes grated mozzarella with ease. The Zyliss' crank screws into the drum and tends to tighten as it is used. That's a plus -- until you want to take it apart. The IKEA has a locking end cap which was easy to remove. The Zyliss feels more robust, but the IKEA seems like it will have no problem holding up to home kitchen use.

Works very nicely and cleans up easily in dishwasher

Sister loves to use this tool for grating cheese instead of grating box.. alot easier, easy cleanup, well made tool! Easy to clean.

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.

It's smaller than I anticipated and can be kind of hard to turn. But it does the job for personal use. I would hardly call it restaurant certified though.

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

パスタ店でカルボナーラ用に購入いたしました。 今まで細長いチーズ削りを使用しており、どうしてもチーズがかけていましたが、こちらの商品にかけた部分を集めてセットすると無駄にならず大変ありがたいです。力もいらず、スピーディーに削れるのでオペレーション的にもとても良いです。パルミジャーノ、ペコリーノどちらも問題なく使えています。

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
