Customer Review: No More Grated Fingertips
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this for grating parmesan cheese, nutmeg, and ginger. It does a great job on these. It doesn't take much effort, and you get a nice fluffy pile of small flakes. I'm sure it would work well for chocolate, too. But the real benefit of this thing is that, strange as it sounds, it doesn't have any sharp edges on the cutting surface, so your fingers are safe even when you're grating the last teeny bit of nutmeg or cheese. I've never used the highly touted Microplane brand equivalent, but my understanding is that it is very sharp and so, I suspect, not as safe in use or when you are rummaging for it in a drawer. A few minor nitpicks: 1) The cleanup is not completely effortless, since food can get caught in the very tiny cutting channels, but 4 or 5 swipes of the ScotchBrite pad usually do the trick. And of course you can use your fingers freely to help any remaining bits of food out. 2) It might benefit from a rubber bumper on the top edge so that it would grip the surface of a plate or countertop. If you're really going at it with a block of parmesan, it's nice to rest that top edge against something for support, and as it is, the grater can slip around a little when you do that. 3) It's not so good on mozarella, but I don't think any single grating surface can handle both soft and hard foods equally well. 4) And as long as we're talking about single surfaces, I'm a little bit puzzled about whether the back of this is supposed to give a different result than the front--the difference is not very dramatic if it is. But all in all I'm very happy to have this, and I pride myself on running a ruthlessly minimalistic kitchen when it comes to gadgets. If something isn't earning its drawer space, out it goes. This one makes the cut.
Description of Kuhn Rikon Cheese Grater
This grater has a finger safe design, so even though it will grate chocolate or cheese very efficiently, it won't leave your fingertips shredded. It's also designed to grate coarsely on one side, and finely on the other, making it twice as useful.This high-quality shaver from Kuhn creates presentation-quality dustings of hard chocolate and Parmesan. Two-sided, this paddle-shaped grater provides feathery fine gratings on one side and even finer shavings on the other. It's easy to hold this tool directly over food as you use it to grate, because the grating edges are very low--there's no need to worry about nicking your fingertips. This solidly built device is made of stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe. It also has a loop on the end of the handle, so it can be hung from a utensil rack. --Dale Steinke
