KitchenAid Gourmet 4-Sided Stainless Steel Box Grater with Detachable Storage Container

This grater grates like a champ. Perfect for shredding fresh parm onto fettuccine alfredo, don’t even think about buying that sad pre-shredded stuff. Sturdy, sharp, and the storage container makes cleanup civilized.

Big sturdy good quality and like the added container.

I want to preface this with my belief that you don't buy a new item if your current item can still be used and KitchenAid products generally last. I purchased the combo package of a grater with storage/measuring cup and a Manual Can Opener. First, the Grater: I may have purchased the grater this was to replace in the early to mid 1980's. Certainly no later than 1990! This grater, with the hard plastic collar and top handle seems like it will never collapse in on itself, as my old one finally did. It's slightly larger overall and, while space is always tight in a well used kitchen, it stores its own measuring cup/covered container, so I'll forgive it. The container, with it's own seal, is very handy as I no longer have to grate onto a paper towel and then transfer that to a measuring cup. I could say that it stops one from wasting cheese when you grate too much but the "extra" was always consumed by kids, dogs & hubby wandering by and pinching a bit here & there... well, not the dogs, everyone generously shared their snagged bits with them, woof woof 😜 😉 The Manual Can Opener: I am blown away by the ease of use and quality of this product. I have an opener that never caught the can edge properly, needed excessive pressure to hold the handles tightly together and usually needed repeated repositioning every time I needed to open a can! As my arthritis has worsened, I often needed someone else to help and watched THEM have the same issues. Anyway, when my grater collapsed, I saw the package with both and ordered it immediately. This opener is extremely easy to use, it doesn't open very wide but, I placed it on a can, gave a little squeeze and easily turned the handle just a couple of times before the lid dropped into the mandarin oranges! I was flabbergasted at the ease of use because I've been using the old one for several years, often got pinched and would just give up on trying to get a lid entirely off. We would pry the can open with something else until we could scoop out the contents. Luckily, we don't really open many cans and, until the mandarin oranges stopped having "pull tops" it was rare to NEED an opener. I'm not cheap, I AM frugal. I don't know where the old opener came from but, I know KitchenAid. For well over 35 years, I've owned a (refurbished) KitchenAid Mixer including many of the attachments and several other KitchenAid products. Every item with their name on it has provided years of service and they stand behind their products. This package was more expensive than most of the others and that's a consideration for some but I'm confident that I'll save money in the long run. Spend a couple of extra dollars now and you won't have to replace the items as often.

Great product buy with confidence

When the container is stored, the lid is upside down and falls off easily. The lid needs some kind of lip to keep it from falling off. Big oversight!

Wonderful item, it is well designed and really happy with the ease of storage and cleaning.

Very good of excellent material, it does not rust or damage when washing it, I really like it, it has four different ways of making food. I really like the quality. Good grating ability. Very easy to use

So far, initial thoughts are that this grater is built very well. Very impressed with the sturdiness and design. Plenty of surface and lots of grating holes. I have already returned the Martha Stewart Sprucedale 9.5" Stainless Steel 4-Sided Food/Cheese Box Grater. I will also be returning the Spring Chef Professional Cheese Grater - Stainless Steel, XL Size, 4 Sides - Perfect Box Grater for Parmesan Cheese, Vegetables, Ginger - Dishwasher Safe - Black. The Spring Chef claims to be XL, but it is way smaller and the build quality does not compare. Th Martha Stewart was also very small with very little grating surface and inadequate grating holes. The KitchenAid Gourmet grater is designed and built much better than the other two graters. You also get the tub and lid which is icing on the cake.
