Zyliss All Cheese Grater

If you have arthritis and,like me,you experience difficulty with grip ,then this is not the grater for you! I have just used it for the first time-and the last. I tried doing some normal Cheddar first,then a bit of parmesan.It was so hard to grip,I couldn't get my hand around it and because I was struggling grated cheese was flying everywhere!I was exhausted with the effort. I bought it because I wanted a quick alternative to using the grater attachment on my food processor ;also I remember my mum had a similar type of grater but it was much easier to use than this! What a waste of money :(

Was hoping this would replace my very old Mouli rotary grater, but I can barely get my hand around it, so squeezing the 2 bits together to push the cheese onto the barrel is almost impossible. Looks nice & having 2 barrels is good. Grates well if I ask a person with big, strong hands to do it, or hold with both hands while an assistant turns the handle. Grating cheese shouldn’t be a 2-man task though!

I found this very hard to hold. When grating cheese, it is very difficult to hold the "lid" down and turn the handle at the same time. I like the fact that you can choose between two graters - fine and not so fine - but I will have to go back to my bog standard box grater once again. Shame it was a waste of money (and it's not cheap).

Bought a cheaper one elsewhere and it lasted 5 uses grating Parmesan and also shed small splinters of steel. Bought this product and it is easy to use, even with very hard Parmesan, it is very quick and also very easy to clean. I have now used it for different cheeses and it performs consistently. One of the most useful tools I now have. I have arthritis in my hands and using this grater presents no problems. Highly recommend.

My old Zyliss has done very sterling service, so I had no hesitation in buying another one. Excellent grater for a whole range of products.
