What foods does a rotary hand grater handle best?

Firm items: hard cheese such as Parmesan, nuts, chocolate and firm vegetables. Soft cheese and wet foods tend to clog the drum.

Does it need electricity or batteries?

No. The crank turns the drum by hand, so it works anywhere.

It is 9.4 inches long and 3 inches wide, small enough to hold in one hand and store in a drawer.

Is it faster than a box grater?

For small amounts of hard cheese it is comparable and keeps fingers clear of the blades. For large batches a box grater or food processor is quicker.

Can it slice vegetables as well as grate?

The slicer drum handles firm vegetables like cucumbers and carrots. Very soft vegetables may tear rather than slice cleanly.

Our take on the Anjinsoft Hand Crank Rotary Cheese Grater Shredder Vegetable Slicer, Green

The Anjinsoft is a hand-crank rotary grater and slicer with a drum that turns as you crank the side handle. It is 9.4 inches long and 3 inches wide, so it sits in one hand while the other cranks. It suits grating hard cheese, nuts and chocolate or slicing vegetables in small batches without electricity. Against electric graters it is quieter, cheaper to own and needs no outlet, but it is slower and takes one drum at a time.
