Microplane 4-Sided Box Grater

Product Information

This grater performed well in our tests, producing even shreds of both hard and soft cheese. The big surface area of the sides and the wider, flared opening at the bottom came especially in handy while grating larger volumes. Since it is lightweight, despite its size, we noted that it might not last as long with heavier use (more than the average home cook). Cleaning was easy—both in the dishwasher and while washing by hand—and the rubber bottom is removable to ensure that no smaller pieces of food are caught underneath. All in all, this grater is a great value for the price. If you’re ready to make the jump from occasional home cook to home chef, these are the pro-level tools we recommend.

IC Integrity Chef Pro Citrus Zester: This rasp-style grater looked and felt similar to the Zulay grater but with slightly fewer teeth. It still had a lot of friction and needed more effort and care when grating, though.

We shredded hard carrots and potatoes on each of the graters to see how it could hold up to tough tasks. The Tester
