Oxo Good Grips Box Grater Reviews

• Best Grater Yet

  
  By A3BKNXX8QFIXIV on 2006-03-14
  I loooove cheese, so I need a grater that can handle a pound or two with ease. The hand graters may take up less space, but take a lot more energy to use and are not versatile. Plus the box grater's flat sides make for much better grating surfaces than the curved hand graters usually have.
  
  Like all OXO good grips products, this grater has comfortable handles, and a practicle, but very attractive design. The steel is sturdy, stain and scratch resistant. No problems sticking this in the dishwasher, though you should take off the removable rubber rim on the bottom of the grater first and make sure all pieces are dry before reassembling and storing.
  
  I didn't think I would like or use the plastic container, but again, OXO's talent for design wins out. The container is a good size for most meals serving 2-5 people, and just slap on some saran wrap to store for in the fridge for later. I haven't tried anything but cheese yet, however the grater seems quite sharp enough to handle most gratables. I like the slimmish form of the grater and it is the right size for ease of grating and storage.
  
  

• Great Grater!

  I love this grater. It's well made, and the attachable container is great for measuring and storing. I bought this one after the other Oxo grater I bought (white plastic, fold-up model) broke. This one is much better, and it holds up well in the dishwasher.
  
  

• Handy grater

  Positives: grates well; face of grater is wider than usual; collection container fits well both in use and when stored in grater and has sealing lid.
  
  Negative: some of the food being grated (e.g. cheese) falls down the front of the grater, therefore outside of the collection container, necessitating use on cutting board or plate.
  
  

• Excellent, well designed grater.

  I purchased this based on a review by Cooks Magazine. It is everything I need in a grater. First off, it grates very well. Beyond that it has some excellent design features. The handle is very comfortable to grip and the bottom ring keeps it secure on the counter top. It is very easy to clean as your hand with a sponge fits easily inside. The cup has a lid and is a handy addition for grating and then storing. The best thing is that the cup with its lid fits up inside the grater for storage. A real plus for people with limited space like me. This is my 3rd or 4th grater purchase and don't think I will need another one for a very long time.
  
  

• Good concept, but imperfect

  
  By A6SO1CY6VID67 on 2007-05-16
  I like the little measuring tub on the bottom, but you still need a cutting board (or something else) under the grater, at least with hard cheese, because they flake off on the outside of the grater as well. Not a dealbreaking flaw, but a flaw nonetheless.
  
  I do like that it's on the flat side, so it can be easily stored and put in the diswasher, and the tub is easy to put on and take off. I"m going to use it for a soft cheese tonight, and I'll update my review if necessary.

  Finally, the cheese doesn't haven't to be all over the friggin' place. Most of it does collect in the container. Takes some practice. Don't push so hard, and not so fast:-) I use it for making bread crumbs and shredding veggies. Does a great job on your knuckles, too, so be careful; it's real sharp.
  
  
• Another OXO winner
  By ATJFT1QTSBP8 on 2008-02-18
  At first I was a little skeptical because this grater is smaller than the traditional standing grater, but in reality you don't actually use that much surface area of a grater's face, and the compact size makes it easier to handle and store. I find a lot of OXO products to be best-of-breed (you'll have to pry my OXO peeler out of my cold dead hands!) and I'm adding this one to the list.
  
  
• Sharp and fits in a drawer
  By A3RFWG11WT0KYU on 2008-04-10
  It was time to replace an ancient flat grater - read the reviews and determined this was the best. It's sharp and fits in a drawer. The bonus was the little rectangle box with measurements on the side and a cover. Just right when a recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of grated cheese. Cheese that is freshly grated is so, so much better than what comes out of bag - that icky coating may keep the strands from sticking together, but it definitely affects the texture and taste.
  
  
• Great Grater
  By A156FYYPJF7R7H on 2008-08-07
  There is nothing that I do not like about this grater. First it was bigger the I originally thought which is a plus because surface area is so important. Next I liked the catch container because clean up is minimal and you can even store items in it if necessary. The container even comes with a lid.
  
  The container stores up in the Grater to make storage minimal which is a great plus. I highly recommend it.
  
  Enjoy
  
  
  
• Very Handy to have
  By A232Q93T1MD9KF on 2008-01-02
  Oxo has once again priven how good its products are. The fact that it stands up on its own makes it very easy to use. The plastic container on the bottom is perfect for catching the grated carrot and even more perfect for storing the leftovers.
  
  
• Best Box Grater Yet!
  By A3LQU8IB4Z5SKS on 2007-12-23
  I purchased this product because it was recommended by America's Test Kitchen, a public television show produced by Cook's Illustrated magazine.
  
  It's easy to hold, easy to use, easy to clean, and easy to store. What more could I ask for? It's hard to beat OXO Good Grips products, and I wish I owned everything they make!
  
  The clear storage container (with non-slip ring, lid, and measurement markings) is a super feature.

• Excellent
  By A3A6XJCV0FL9BI on 2008-07-17
  Excellent grater and grates the perfect amount each time without pulling a chuncks off. There is a nice measuring cup on the bottom if you need to measure for recipes.
  
  
• Excellent quality for the price
  By A2ET3K57X75HCA on 2008-05-24
