Can you please demonstrate how to wash the box grater❓
Useful!
I smashed my BUTT on my key board and this was the first video that came up
Yvonne Ruperti?
Ohhhh. I thought the pointy side was for zest, because it sure is hard to use with cheese XD
Is there a way to minimize waste when you get down to the last bit of the fruit/veg?
Their new favorite is by cuisinart
You never showed how to use the slicer
Is there a new one recommended?
Sorry to wake you up.
Microplane now has a new rasp grader called the Microplane Zester Grater Elite Series. The grater has a clear plastic cover that doubles as a catch for when grating and when put on in reverse it protects the cutting edge of the grater while in storage. I use it to get the zest from oranges and other citrus. It works great by not collecting any of the bitter peel.

For other readers, don't get this confused with the wider graters in the Elite Series as they have catchers as well. I'm speaking of the "Narrow" Zester Grater. The wider graters make it difficult to see your work while zesting. I don't drag the fruit across the grater, I pull the grater across the fruit so I can see where the zest has been removed, leaving the bitter pith behind. My grater is manufactured by Microplane, dishwasher safe and Made in the USA. It comes in

This Grater I speak of is extremely fine and is for "zesting citrus" and may or may not work so well for cheese.
