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

Overall it's exactly what you'd expect and has some nice features. It's a bit big for my dishwasher so not very compact, but I like it a bit bigger so the food can flow out at the bottom. This will prevent it from getting stuck in the box and breaking. My biggest complaint is that the legs are rounded at the edges, causing it to tip over if you hold it and press it against your face with something you're scratching. This requires you to hold it even tighter, which can be tiring if you have a…

Microplan is one of the best graters. 🤣 I bought this to replace the one I broke trying to dry too hard. They work very well (I said "good!" - I mean "great!"), but they're not very difficult. Don't drop it. Or shake it around and try to get all the water out before putting it back in the cupboard. The metal of the handle is not internally bonded to the metal of the legs, and once the Microplane exceeds a pair of Gs, it falls apart. While this is a good product overall, it is not intended for…

Whilst the slatted surfaces are second to none the plastic frame is terrible. The detachable side didn't hold up and kept slipping out, then the frame broke and didn't hold the large grille in place. I can't believe how long we put up with this - we must have regretted spending so much money on this item. Was it that much better than a $3 grater from the grocery store? Not really. I wouldn't buy it again although I would buy other Microplane products. I saw the bad reviews and thought "oh they…

When I first bought this cheese grater I thought it was great, it was sharp and worked well but it didn't last long. all before the black plastic surrounding the metal began to crack. If you drop it the plastic will break and even if you don't drop it will start to fall apart, the metal will fall out of the plastic frame too, I can't believe how expensive this is as it's all plastic. in it, and it's seriously NOT worth the money. Now I have to spend more money on another grater and I am not…

I was very happy about this, but it's terrible. Huge, bulky, inconvenient to hold or store. The cut surfaces were a HUGE disappointment! Small is best - very spicy and good for things like ginger. The environment is USELESS, tried various things with it and the result is not good despite too much diligence. Worst of all, this part is difficult to clean as plant fibers get stuck in it. Last but not least, the big one: NOT SPICY AT ALL! That's why I cut myself when I tried to grate the carrots…

Of the 5 Microplane graters I currently own, this is my least favorite. After a year of use, this is my opinion. It seems someone has decided they need to make this box grater different from what I consider the already classic and efficient configuration. My complaints: 1. The grid with large holes is too wide. You can't get that classic potato wedge for a great hash brown. The size of this grill can also make it difficult to use when judging hard cheese or boiled potatoes. 2. I don't need…

I had. Tons of cheese graters. Literally tons. I don't even know how much I spent on cheese graters! To be honest I don't even know what I've ever done with the cheese grater community but they are. hate me. you break. They always break. The results are never good. Are you sad. You lost another $5 to $10 on a cheese grater (and gosh, that thing looked tough too!), but what's worse? They don't have grated cheese! Well, if you're like me, you'll find a way to make it work a lot longer. . . But I…

I would love to give this grater five stars but to be honest I can only give three. I LOVE this grater - it shreds, slices and grates with ease. The blades are so sharp they'll slide through whatever you're grinding or cutting. The side of the zester slides out so you can use it individually without having to wash the entire unit. So why three stars? The plastic case cracks and breaks after a few months of use, eventually cracking and breaking to the point of rendering the device unusable. I'm…

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…
