Cuisipro 746850 5-in-1 Tower Grater

Product Information

Although the Cuisipro is among the most expensive options on this list, it also boasts the best design. First of all, it’s what’s called an etched grater (as opposed to a stamped one). Though etched are pricier, they result in sharper, more precise tools. Plus, the Cuisipro graters exclusively have what’s called Surface Glide Technology, which reduces friction and increases the surface area of each blade, meaning each stroke results in more grated cheese, veggies, or whatever else you happen to be working with. This also did a good job with our hard and soft cheeses. While it was able to slice both carrots and zucchini, it wasn’t as good as some others we tested, making some rough cuts along the way. Still, if we had the grater out and didn’t want to grab a knife, it would be handy. While the silicone bumper at the base helps keep the grater stable, we noticed that it trapped bits of cheese, which made it more difficult to clean (it's not dishwasher safe). When resting on a work surface, the blade sits flat but raised. A loop on its handle also means it can be hung up for storage. A safety pusher is available for this model. The safety pusher is not particularly practical. Cheese needs to be cut into small cubes, but it would come in useful if you’re not grating in bulk and want kids to be able to use it.

The Cuisipro Grater featuring Surface Glide Technology™ and soft-touch handle for easy grip. Exclusive to Cuisipro, Surface Glide Technology™ grooved grating surface takes etched graters to the next level by creating the perfect balance between ease of grating and maximum efficiency. The science behind this technology is based on the repeated grooved pattern that is spread evenly across the face of the grating surface, creating a larger cutting surface for food and allowing you to grate more with less effort. Comes with Dual-Grating options (Fine/Coarse). The fine feature is perfect for dry or moist ingredients, such as citrus, hard cheese or ginger. Coarse grating feature for cheeses and vegetables including carrots or ginger. Superfine- Ideal for cinnamon, nutmeg and chocolate for decorating your dessert and garnishing cappuccinos. In testing, this did an excellent job with parmesan cheese, and it truly did glide easily. We also liked its performance in making small and large shreds of softer Colby cheese. Using the slicing blade that works like a mandoline, it created thin slices of both carrots and zucchini. However, it only did a fair job when zesting lemon peel. It would be fine for occasional use, but a dedicated zester might be preferred if a lot of zesting is on the menu. The grater also has a rounded, slightly padded handle, so it was comfortable to hold onto during our tests.Starburst surface - The ideal blade creates a fine mist of powdery Parmesan cheese to cover your favourite foods, from appetizers and soups to pastas and salads.• Compact size is perfect for picnics This zester's rubber foot gives it some traction when you brace it against the counter to add a little more muscle to your zesting. chevron_left Previous chevron_right Next zoom_in Hover over image to zoom swipe Swipe for more media

Cuisipro 4 Sided Box Grater, Regular, Stainless Steel Cuisipro 4 Sided Box Grater, Regular, Stainless Steel

In testing, we liked that we had a choice of cutting or grating with the inserts in the holder, or holding them up at a steeper angle, like a mandoline. The smallest grater wasn’t as small as some of the graters we tested, but worked well for both cheese and zesting. The larger grating surface also worked well. The julienne blade made small thin slices that were smaller than a traditional julienne cut, but worked well. The slicer was one of our favorites, slicing both carrots and zucchini with ease. The Deiss Pro Citrus Zester is a decent alternative to the beloved Microplane, and its strengths are where it most differs from its main competition. This zester is about an inch and a half wide and has a rubber foot on the end, so you can brace it against the counter while you zest or grate. This makes it better for high-volume objectives (think: tons of ginger or piles of parmesan). Includes three interchangeable blades for slicing, waffle cutting, fry cutting, julienne and gratingThe Cuisipro Coarse 4 Sided Grater is made of 18/10 Stainless steel blades with 5 grating surfaces; from ultra coarse for soft cheeses to a side slicer for a variety of vegetables.The removable base collects grated food and contains a hidden ginger grater. The large soft touch handle has a non-slip grip. The Cuisipro Grater featuring Surface Glide Technology™ and soft-touch handle for easy grip. Exclusive to Cuisipro, Surface Glide Technology™ grooved grating surface takes etched graters to the next level by creating the perfect balance between ease of grating and maximum efficiency. The science behind this technology is based on the repeated grooved pattern that is spread evenly across the face of the grating surface, creating a larger cutting surface for food and allowing you to grate more with less effort. We researched over 30 various models and designs before purchasing and hands-on testing the best 10 graters available today. Our culinary experts created a gauntlet of tests to run each model through to find the sharpest and most versatile models. A good grater can shred through beets and carrots to add excitement and variety to your salads, zest citrus rinds for dressings and marinades, and of course, grate cheeses into delicious piles for potato and pasta dishes. We've evaluated each model's grating surfaces, sharpness, and special features so you can easily select the perfect tool for your kitchen. This grater does it all. With it, you can zest or shred finely (great for garlic cloves and cheese to top pasta with); slice fruit and veggies such as apples, cucumbers, potatoes, etc.; and do medium or coarse shreds. Some of this, of course, could also be accomplished with some pro-level knife skills, but if you’d rather have a grater do the work for you, this is an excellent option. It also comes with a rubber handle and rubber base and is technically dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended if you have the time. In testing, we ran it through the dishwasher multiple times with no ill effects. In testing, this managed to grate parmesan, but it wasn’t as easy as some others. However, it did a fine job with our softer Colby cheese. Slicing carrots wasn’t particularly effective, but it did a fine job slicing zucchini. We wouldn’t use this for zesting citrus unless we had no other options.
