3 Rotary Cheese Graters Worth Adding to Your Kitchen

While helping my clients organize their kitchens I'm discovering so many great tools. Yes, organizational items but also useful gadgets to make cooking more fun and less work.

If you love freshly grated Parmesan but don't love dragging out the box grater, I have a little kitchen tool you might want to know about: the rotary cheese grater.

It's one of those simple gadgets that can make a surprisingly big difference. Add a chunk of Parmesan, turn the handle and in seconds you have a fluffy pile of freshly grated cheese - no scraping your knuckles or managing a moving grater.

Because I am always looking for kitchen tools that are functional, easy to use and actually earn their spot in the kitchen, I rounded up three rotary cheese graters worth considering.

Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater

Higher-end ~ for the serious cheese grating enthusiast!

Best for Parmesan lovers - there's a reason the classic Zyliss keeps showing up on lists of favorite rotary graters. It's designed specifically for hard cheeses, with an ergonomic hand crank that keeps your fingers safely away from the drum.

OXO Good Grips Rotary Cheese Grater

Budget friendly ~ great little option if you just want to try one!

OXO's rotary cheese grater has a large barrel and stainless-steel grating surface and is best for simple everyday use. It has a Seal & Store design so you can grate what you need and kep the rest in the container rather than dirtying another dish.

It's a nice choice if you want something straightforward that doesn't take up too much room. A perfect option for apartment dwellers.

My third option is the Geedel Upgraded Rotary Cheese Grater

Mid-range ~ A little sturdier and more versatile for regular use! My pick!

This is the one for the cook who likes a kitchen tool that can do more than one job. The Geedel has four interchangeable blades for shredding, fine grating, slicing and wavy cuts - crinkle fries anyone? You can use it for everything from Parmesan and cheddar to vegetables and nuts. An upgraded wider chute means less chopping before you start, and the strong suction base keeps it securely in place as you crank.

This one also comes in multiple colors to match your kitchen - red, blue, white, black and yellow!!

Whichever one you choose, there's something pretty satisfying about freshly grated cheese. These tools make for ease in your preparation with no knuckles harmed! Drop me a comment and let me which is your favorite!
