Review: Durable, efficient, and convenient! - This handheld cheese grater is a great kitchen tool! The sharp stainless steel blades make grating cheese, vegetables, and even zesting citrus quick and effortless. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and perfect for small grating tasks without the hassle of setting up a larger grater. The non-slip grip provides good control, and the compact size makes it easy to store in a drawer. Cleanup is simple, as it rinses off easily or goes in the dishwasher. The only minor downside is that it requires a bit of pressure for harder cheeses, but overall, it’s a durable, efficient, and convenient grater that I highly recommend!
Review: A perfect kitchen Asscessory for grating. - I have had this microplane for years and I am just getting a new one! I love it and it is easy to clean, as one side slides out. Great kitchen tool.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: are the blades replaceable ?**
A: No. In my experience, though, the blades will out last the plastic that surrounds them. After a really bad experience, I went back to an all-stainless box grater: http://smile.amazon.com/Browne-Foodservice-746124-Box-Type-Grater/dp/B0000DE1JK/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1426474570&sr=8-34&keywords=box+grater. Not as razor sharp as Microplane blades, but more than adequate and won't crack and break in the dishwasher.

**Q: What's the best way to clean if you don't have dishwasher?**
A: Personally I prefer individual tools to this four-sided one, because it’s so hard to clean. 
When I had the tool you asked about… Immediately after using, shake/brush off any loose pieces on the tool. Then soak in warm, sudsy water. Rinse and use a fairly strong brush to scrub off any remains. Repeat if necessary. 

Personally I prefer individual tools versus the four-sided one. It’s tough to clean.

**Q: How thick are the slices made by the slicing blade?**
A: The slicing blade cuts fairly thin. I'd say approx. 1/16" thickness. It's very good for shaving carrots, radishes, parmesan cheese, etc. for salads. Be sure to wear special gloves to protect your knuckles.

**Q: why does the plastic housing break and what is the company doing about it ?**
A: I have had mine for a number of years with ho problem however I did have an issue with another item…a hand held grater with a plastic edging that cracked & they replaced it with an all metal one with no problem. I offered to send them the broken one & they said "no, just toss it" so I did. I found them to be quite easy to deal with & would not hesitate to contact them again if I should have an other issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend this
*by C***. on March 13, 2025*

After using this multiple times I retired my flimsy, old cheese shredder. Excellent product, sturdy, with multiple options for shredding and grating, and the slicer works very well, too. It is sharp, as other reviewers mentioned, but that's what I was looking for. The hard plastic storage cover that goes over the unit protects it and any hands that might come in contact while it is stored.
