Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Box Grater
Customer Review: I love this grater!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best grater I've ever used. It's considerably larger than many other box graters, which I find makes it easier to hold onto; it's also a bit heavier than others. The rubber gasket around the bottom keeps it from sliding around. The only thing I don't like is that if you use the tub, it will slide, so I save the tub for storage. The grater is too big for my gadget drawer, but it's so attractive I don't mind leaving it out on a shelf.Customer Review: Great convenience tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an attractive and easy to use box grater. Love the container which goes with it (under and in the grater for storage) for storing cheese, etc. The container sits under the grater when in use and also serves as a knuckle saver, as it raises the grater surfaces about 3 inches off the countertop.Customer Review: Great Grater.
Summary: 3 Stars
I love KitchenAid products (heck, I own most of them!) and this grater is no exception. It tackles most hard cheeses, and some soft ones (most notably Brie) and the side panel is great for nutmeg, although the fruit zester clogs up a little when using limes.Customer Review: this is just great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just a great grater! High quality materials, has not rusted, and the plastic container fits perfectly on the bottom to collect the shavings. Comes thru dishwasher nicely. I couldn't wait to trash my piece-of-junk rusted grater for this one.Customer Review: Nice look, ditch the box
Summary: 4 Stars
Our ailing plastic sided grader had left broken plastic while shredding it's final pound of Sharp Cheddar, and we decided it was time for a replacement. I dug Grandma's old box grater out of the attic, and the abused, dented, rusting at the corners carcass stared at us. I glanced at our pot rack with my wife's green colored Le Cresuet, and my slowing growing collection of All-Clad, and decided that this poor little beat up replacement would make a nice college heirloom for our son.So, we bought one of these KitchenAid graders to match Suzanne's enameled soup pots and Dutch ovens. Although I hate to say it, we like it best for the fashion value. The color of the KitchenAid grater matches very well with the enameled kitchenware, apparently even in the colors we do not collect.
As for the functioning, it works like a box grater. That is, unless you leave that `catch box' on the bottom. Then it's a knuckle buster. Although KitchenAid fit the bottom of the grater with a nice rubber pad, they didn't apply the same to the box. My wife took one swipe, skinned a knuckle, and sent several ounces of Monterey Jack to the dog food bowl and her to the bathroom for a Band-Aid. Now, the catch pan rests will all of the `inconvenient' sized Tupperware at the back of the baby's play cabinet.
We really don't mind ourselves. We have several small sized cutting boards along with a couple larger ones, so there is always a clean board to put underneath the grater. A plate or large bowl works just as well too. Although a bit pricey for me at full price because a cheese grater is an expected show piece, it is nice to have it coordinated with the rest of your kitchenware.
