Large grater slicer

Handy slicer, easy to hold and use, but the food holder leaves big holes in vegetables (like zucchini) and is made of hard plastic. I know it's supposed to protect my hand, but I think they did it more with the thought of keeping it on the slicer than how well it works on your hand and what you use it with. Maybe hard cheeses are okay, but soft veggies aren't as good. Anyway I use it very carefully, it cuts a bit thicker than I would like so I'm looking for another plane again. I think an…

Pros
  • Cheese grater: With this grater you can cut slightly thicker cheese than with a zipper blade for garnishing hard and semi-hard cheeses. The wider result is sprinkled well, mixed with salads and served over omelettes. This cheese grater is best for Parmesan, Asiago and other hard and semi-hard cheeses.
Cons
  • Unnecessary features

Does not scratch, but breaks into pieces. Do not buy this Ultra-Gross

I hardly ever write a bad review, but this product deserves one. It just doesn't work. Microplane products are usually excellent - others I have are great.

Works like a dream!

When we moved into our house a few years ago, we somehow lost a grater and a single handle cheese grater. Since then, I've lugged around a trusty old Cuisinart food processor whenever I needed to grate cheese...which is literally excruciating (I have heavy DDD) and caused a lot of unnecessary cleaning. Since my Microplane (fortunately didn't get lost in the move) does an excellent job of extracting citrus peel and chopping up small items, I decided to use the Microplane and I'm glad I did! This

Pros
  • Vegetable Grater: When you want rich flavor but not too much texture, this grater is perfect for carrots and coconut. Hard vegetables and fruits are cut thinly and evenly. Add these shredded veggies to baked goods like bread and cookies. Or if you need to hide veggies from the picky eater, this is your tool.
