How does a rotary grater compare with a box grater?

A rotary grater keeps your hands away from the blades and handles hard cheese faster once the piece is in the chute. A box grater is smaller, cheaper and easier to rinse, but slower and riskier on knuckles.

What are the three blades for?

They cover coarse shredding, fine shredding and slicing. That lets one tool grate cheese, shred vegetables and cut slices for a mandoline-style result.

Does it work on soft cheese?

Soft or sticky cheese tends to clump in the drum and chute. It works best on firm cheeses such as cheddar, Parmesan and Gruyère.

Is it dishwasher safe?

The blades and drum are best rinsed promptly and washed by hand to keep edges sharp; check the maker's care instructions for the body and handle.

What comes in the box?

The grater body with hand crank, three blades and storage bags.

Can it replace a food processor?

For grating and slicing in small batches, yes, and it is quieter and easier to clean. A processor still wins for large batches, dough and purees.

Our take on the GASPRO Rotary Cheese Grater with Handle, 3 Blades

The GASPRO Rotary Cheese Grater is a hand-crank kitchen tool that shreds cheese and vegetables with a turning drum instead of a sliding box grater. It has a large feed chute, three interchangeable blades and a mandoline function, and it comes with storage bags. It suits cooks who grate a lot of cheese or vegetables and want to keep their knuckles off the blades. Against box graters it is faster and safer on hard cheese; against electric processors it is quieter and cheaper to run but needs hand effort and more counter space than a flat grater.
