OXO Good Grips Etched Ginger & Garlic Grater, Green,us:one size

I've bought two of these graters now. I mostly used them to grate carrots and beets for salads.The first one purchased several years ago was very sharp at first. It would cut the tip of your finger off by barely grazing it. So definitely pay attention and don't grate things down so close to your fingers. Over a few years the first grater is still plenty sharp, but has "dulled" down to a reasonable sharpness. I can still grate my carrots easily and quickly, but lose less chunks of fingertips.The second one I purchased in 2025 (for another kitchen) isn't razor sharp, but plenty sharp for carrots and veggies. It is more forgiving of a finger graze, but also grates very effectively after a couple months. They both make quick work of a carrot.I find it well designed for comfort and storage. The rubber end foot doesn't slide on the cutting board. The handle is plastic and hard rubber. It's a good size for gripping, solid with a touch of cushion and doesn't slip in my hand, which I find is comfortable for the duration of grating.I wouldn't use it for grating horizontal over a bowl. The angle would be wrong and the grater doesn't have notches to hold on to the bowl. But I prefer grating over a cutting board anyhow. It's best holding the grater at an angle, stabilizing it on a flat surface. You could use it free for something quick like cheese on top of a dish, but I think it's better to push down on a solid surface for stability and not accidentally cutting yourself.I like the snap-on cover to protect the blades and things in your drawer. It has a flat profile and stores easily. I hand wash it and the materials have remained in good shape over the years.

I purchased two of these OXO graters, one for coarse grating and the other for medium grating. They've quickly become two of my favorite kitchen tools. They work extremely well for grating both hard and softer cheeses, chocolate, carrots, onions, and anything else I've tried on them. They are very sharp, with a grating surface similar to a micro-plane, and make short work of any grating task. The medium grater is especially good at grating parmesan cheese, producing a fluffy and airy mound of grated cheese in a flash. I also like that they are dishwasher safe and come with a snap-on cover that protects the sharp edges when storing them in a kitchen drawer with other utensils. Highly recommended!

We love these graters and use them for cheese primarily as we have gone away from bagged shredded cheese in an effort to be healthier. These are so good I actually bought a second one in case one hasn't been washed yet. The best thing about these over the traditional box grater is that they are way easier to clean. No busted knuckles trying to fit my "man hand" inside the grater to get any stubborn cheese off the inside. The plastic surrounded edge keeps the metal from scraping up other utensils in your drawer, they lay flat in your drawer, the rubber handle is firm and comfortable, and they come with a plastic snap on cover that protects the blade side and helps to keep it clean (and protects your other utensils from scrapes again). We have had ours for at least a year and have had no issues.

This is perfect. Oxo is a little more expensive but great products. I like strong flavored cheese & zester crested too fine of a grate. This size is perfect with noticeable pieces but not huge. Happy!

Worked great for a little over a year and then started breaking apart. I found two pieces of the orange part in my cheese. But for the price what more than a year can you ask for?

I have the course grater and love it. And I'm not just saying that because I'm afraid of it. It is versatile enough to grate vegetables, your fingers, cheese, your fingers, practically anything up to, and including, your fingers if not held correctly.

Love this grater! Very durable and rigid to grate our cheddar with!

Grates more fine than I expected from the description. What is up with square holes on all the graters these days? Not a fan.
