Review on 🔪 Microplane 34006 4-Sided Stainless Steel Ultra-Sharp Multi-Purpose Box Grater - Large 10 inch, Black: Superior Kitchen Tool for Efficient Grating by Cristina Gonzalez

How unhappy do you have to be to be addicted to a cheese grater? Pretty pathetic, I know. I ordered this product after seeing some good things. Steel quality, sharpness, Made in USA etc. Life is good! The order arrived and I was very excited to try it but found the cutting blade had a chip. never mind Exchange and wait another 3 weeks. Finally, after 3 weeks of using my old, rusty, jagged, barbaric looking box grater, with potentially life-threatening injuries with every hand movement, my new grater arrived. Now I'm very excited and even more grateful that I was able to decommission my old Vietnamese torture device. I open the box and take out the grater, which is covered with enough bubble wrap. All 478 blisters remained intact. Phenomenal, thank you! And so I pull the grater out of the cellophane jail only to find that this 'new' block has the chip in the IDENTICAL POSITION of the previously damaged/returned product. Now my frustration has grown. All I wanted, all I needed was to chop up this medium Wisconsin cheddar, but no. They say that the same receptors that cocaine activates in your brain are also activated in the presence of cheese, and I'm beginning to understand why. The doping levels dropped, I lost all drive. I give up the fact that maybe all their blades have this crack when they were forged. A clueless piece of stainless steel stamped on a 20-ton press by some heartless operator who probably felt the same way I am now, only to be neglected and unnoticed at the "grinding station" again. I am overwhelmed with emotions. The only joy I can have left is peeling the plastic label off the grater's protective cover. no The strongest of all glues, stronger than the bond a mother has with her firstborn. Stronger than babies' grip. Tears begin to flow, rolling down the label beneath me. The saline will loosen the glue, but only momentarily. My opportunity has passed. It remains for me to get hold of a bottle of acetone as a last resort to break this eternal bond. Simply dab onto an organic cotton swab and spread evenly. The chemical reaction has started and everything is in motion, don't stop now, it's almost ready. Success! Big. This virus has finally been extracted from its body of polyethylene, a thermoplastic polymer with a variable crystal structure. Fantastic! Good. But wait, what is it. Where does this cloudiness come from? A disastrous miscalculation with acetone. Not my poor shroud. Absolutely milky white, like the eyes of an 18 year old Chihuahua with no teeth and severe cataracts. i can't win I sit here dejected with a cloudy veil and a chipped cutting blade, waiting for my time to come. The other 3 sides of the grater work beautifully. Perfect! Impressive.
