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

This is a hand-crank rotary grater with a suction or clamp base, a top hopper for cheese or vegetables, and three interchangeable stainless steel drums. The crank turns the drum against a pressure plate, so you grate without holding your knuckles near a blade. It measures 8.5 by 3.9 by 9.4 inches, which is compact enough for a drawer but tall enough to sit steady on a counter. It is a budget-category tool, so expect a plastic body and light metal parts rather than the die-cast build of a $40+ rotary grater.

Questions and answers

Is a rotary grater worth it over a box grater?
For hard cheese and small batches, yes. The crank keeps your fingers clear and grates a block faster with less effort. A box grater is still better for soft cheese and for large volumes.
What are the three blades for?
Typically a coarse drum for cheddar and vegetables, a medium drum for general grating, and a fine drum for Parmesan and zest. Check the drum labels, since sizes vary by model.
Can it grate soft cheese like mozzarella?
Not well. Soft and semisoft cheese smears against the drum and clogs it. Chill mozzarella for 15 minutes or use a box grater for soft cheese.
How do I clean it?
Remove the drum and hopper, rinse under warm water, and use a brush to clear cheese from the drum holes. Most versions are not dishwasher safe, so check the maker's instructions before washing.
Will the suction base hold on my counter?
It holds best on smooth, dry surfaces like granite, glass or sealed tile. It will not stick to textured, porous or damp counters, so dry the surface first.
What is in the box?
The grater body with crank handle, three stainless steel drums, and usually a small cleaning brush. A suction base or clamp is built in.
