Boxed Grater (4-Sided)
Last verified by the Lifetime Picks Editorial Team
Why we picked it
Four cutting surfaces (coarse, fine, slicing, zest) on one box
Cuisinart's boxed 4 sided grater is the kitchen workhorse that handles cheese, vegetables, citrus zest, and fresh ginger, four different cutting surfaces (extra coarse shred, coarse shred, slicing, fine zesting) on the four sides of a single hand pulled stainless steel grater. The handle is non slip molded plastic; the base is rubberized so the grater sits stable on a cutting board or in a bowl. r/Cooking and r/AskCulinary both surface this Cuisinart as the consensus 'one grater for everything' answer, the alternative is buying four separate graters or a single Microplane plus a dedicated cheese grater. The stainless steel is heavier gauge than the box graters at thrift stores. Dishwasher safe (top rack).
