I’d wager a guess that almost everyone owns a cheese grater. It was one of the first tools I learned to use in the kitchen, and they’re so commonplace that you’ll probably find one in a vacation rental property. You might not think too much about your cheese grater, and honestly I didn’t, either. But, after using our winning grater—the Microplane 4-Sided Stainless Steel Multi-Purpose Box Grater OXO Good Grips Etched Zester and Grater: This rasp-style grater was one of the worst-performing graters we tested, with small holes and teeth not raised high enough. Lemons took a longer amount of time and effort to zest and the resulting zest was wet. The ribbon blade is ideal for chocolate, onions, zucchini, apples, cheese, potatoes, carrots and more.The Microplane 4-Sided Box Grater offers the convenience of three graters in one with an additional slicing blade on the side. An innovative and functional design combined with the renowned Microplane ultra sharp grating blades. From zesting lemons to grating potatoes, you won't find a better tool for the job than this Microplane box grater. A surprisingly good performer, this box grater with swappable inserts catches food as you work. You might want a different tool for zesting, though.

You might only use your grater for cheese, but they’re actually incredibly helpful tools. The coarse holes are perfect for taking down everyone’s favorite melting food, but they're also useful for grating carrots for cake or coleslaw, as well as potatoes for latkes and hash browns. The medium-sized holes work the same way as the coarse ones, just with a smaller shred. And the fine holes are designed for grating parmesan, zesting lemons, or reducing ginger to a paste. While I admit that I almost never use the slicing side, it's available for making uniform slices of cheese for appetizer platters or vegetables for gratin dishes if you don't have a mandolin slicer. Zesting Citrus Test: We zested two medium-sized lemons to see how long it took to remove all of the zest and whether each grater was capable of removing just the zest or also took off some of the underlying bitter, white pith.
