Sabatier West Blade Handheld Manual Rotary Grater with Stainless Steel Patented Flake Grating Drum, 11.5-Inch, Black

Loved the handheld grater! So easy to use and clean! The grated Parmesan cheese comes out so thin than it literally melts immediately on the pasta! Everyone at our party wants one! I think I’ll get them done for stocking stuffers this Christmas! It feels so fancy!

But parmigiano reggiano is a bit too hard for this. If you get one, watch the edges of the blades, SHARP!When I use it to shave cheese for salad, it does twist in my hand, so it takes a bit of extra care to keep the motion smooth.

I own a Sabatier knife, and I know it's high-quality. So a Sabatier cheese grater? This purchase was a no-brainer. It was also a mistake. Apart from the grater cylinder, most of the tool is made of plastic. The first thing to go was a "chrome" insert that covered a screw. That popped off on the first day. When I squeeze the grater tightly, it pops open and the grater cylinder falls out. I threw away a perfectly good, but antique, Mouli grater so I could buy this piece of garbage. If I could turn back time, I'd tell my husband that no, we are NOT getting rid of that old Mouli grater.

I guess I expected it to shred the cheese but it comes out like thin paper pieces. Haven't used it much

Works as described-Easy to use/clean !!

This is a well-made grater for parmesan. It grates the cheese in little paper-thin slices rather than straws, which is pretty cool and allows the cheese to breath and get great flavor. I do wish they would include some trigger mechanism to hold it closed better. It comes apart for easy cleaning and storage.

Well made product. It’s perfect. Please note that this makes small paper thin slices but doesn’t grate like the ones at the restaurants do.

I purchased this for grating Parmesan cheese. Upon opening, I could see the product was solid and of good quality. But the result of the grating was not what I expected. The flakes were about 1/4" x 1/4", far too large for Parmesan to be sprinkled on Italian pasta. The description does not specifically state that it is for grating cheese, but one would think the overall design lends itself for that purpose. Almost all the other similarly designed products offer 2 different flake drums; one for large and one for small flakes, whereas this one only has one for large. Shame on me for making assumptions.
