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

I love this cheese grater. Just like the restaurants. Makes things easier. I get a block of Parmesan and cut pieces off to fill grater. It works like a dream. I cook Italian a lot so it is great to have to decrease my labor. Fun as well. Easy clean up and durable product. I hand wash with ease.

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.

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.

Just got it. Used once. Worked great. I had one of these in the past. It lasted for years until the handle broke. I hope I love the new one as much as my last one.

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.

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.

For years I used an old tin French-made “Mouli Crater” that served me fairly well. It was easy to use but had to be dried for fear of rusting. Only had two parts and very easy to clean. For some reason I felt that modern innovation, sleek design, non-rust material, and Swiss engineering would provide me with a better product. Not quite. This model bogs down quickly as the grating barrel fills up (I was using a hard cheddar as opposed to a soft cheese). The barrel must be unscrewed and the handle disconnected to clean. There is a deep channel inside one end of the grater barrel that is difficult to clean. One requires a bottle brush to perform a proper cleaning. Good thing I didn’t throw away the old tin French Mouli Grater.

I'm not sure I would call it Restaurant certified, but it works great. You can switch the handle side for left handed people. Highly recommend that you freeze softer cheeses before grating them. Cleans nicely in the dishwasher.

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.
