How does it compare with a box grater?

It grates cheese and vegetables into a bowl without the knuckle risk of a box grater and handles larger volumes faster. It takes up more counter space and needs a smooth surface for the suction base.

Does the suction base work on all countertops?

It holds best on smooth surfaces like granite, glass or polished laminate. It grips poorly on textured, wooden or uneven counters.

Can it grate soft cheese?

Firm and semi-firm cheeses grate well. Soft cheeses and wet foods tend to clog the drum and chute, so cut them smaller or use a different tool.

The drum, blades and chute detach and rinse under the tap. A brush helps clear food from the drum, and hand washing is the safe choice for the blades.

Is it good for nuts and vegetables?

Yes for hard vegetables like carrots and potatoes and for nuts. Very soft produce is better handled by hand or a knife.

Our take on the Tinana Rotary Cheese Grater with Hand Crank

The Tinana Rotary Cheese Grater is a hand-crank drum grater with three interchangeable stainless steel blade sets, six pieces in all, for grating cheese, vegetables, fruit and nuts. A suction base locks it to smooth countertops and a curved chute feeds food into the drum while keeping fingers away from the blades. It suits home cooks who grate a lot of cheese or vegetables and want to skip a box grater and the cleanup. Against electric food processors it is quieter, cheaper to own and easier to rinse, but it needs a smooth, flat surface to hold and takes more hand effort than a motor. Buyers rate it around 3.7 out of 5, with the suction base and blade variety drawing praise and durability and cleaning drawing complaints.
