Great design, fun to have on the tableFeb 12, 2011
By Jae
This may not be practical for cooking (best to have your typical multi-sided grater in the kitchen), but it's perfect for the kitchen table. I grate parmegiano-reggiano into the cellar and leave it out during dinner, then throw plastic wrap over the remainder and refrigerate it in the container. That way it's ready for leftovers the next day, as well.
This has a fine grate that gives out half-inch long strands of cheese, so the harder the cheese you use, the better. When I first got the grater, I had a hard time getting the metal grate apart from the cellar, but it loosened a bit after that and now easily goes in and out. I've used it several times and run it through the dishwasher with no problems.
This is also a great price for an Alessi item, which is known for their finesse and fun in the world of design.
