Is it better than a box grater?

For hard cheese and carrots it is easier on the hands and keeps shreds contained. A box grater is faster for big piles and handles soft cheese better.

Does it work on soft cheese?

Soft or sticky cheese tends to clog the drum. It works best on firm cheeses like Parmesan, cheddar and Swiss.

Can it grate vegetables too?

Yes. It shreds carrots, zucchini, potatoes and similar firm vegetables, and it handles nuts.

The drum and handle come apart for washing by hand. Rinse shreds off before they dry, since dried cheese sticks to the drum.

Does it need batteries or a cord?

No. It is fully manual and runs on the crank handle.

Our take on the Anjinsoft Handheld Rotary Cheese Grater Shredder Veggie Slicer, Red

The Anjinsoft is a handheld rotary grater with a crank handle that turns a drum against the food, so you grate cheese, vegetables and nuts without electricity. At 9.4 inches long and 3 inches wide it is compact enough to keep in a drawer, and the rotary action keeps fingers away from the cutting surface. It suits small kitchens and quick jobs like topping pasta or grating carrots for a salad. Against box graters it is easier on the hands and more contained; against electric shredders it is slower and needs manual cranking.
