Box graters are essential kitchen tools that can do a whole lot more than just shred cheese.
Box graters typically have four sides, each devoted to one function. Two sides usually feature large- and medium-size holes for grating; one side includes a wannabe mandoline; and the final side has a zester. And while you might think that a box grater is a box grater is a box grater, you'd be wrong.
In terms of performance, the uniformity of cuts each grater was able to make was another consideration. This isn't just a question of aesthetics; for example, when it comes to using shredded vegetables in a recipe, such as hash browns, having a consistent shred size ensures even cooking. I also paid particular attention to clogging, which is a big potential drawback.
I decided to limit the test to the graters that were most widely available and that had received several good reviews. I eliminated any that had too many removable parts and any that weren't four-sided . My testing plan was three-pronged: First, I tested them under real-world conditions, using them a home cook would, and evaluating them for ease of use, ergonomic comfort, and stability. Then, a measured-and-timed test to assess yield per stroke.
This test highlighted the graters that were a pleasure to use, singled out those that were the best for bigger grating jobs, and also showed which ones excelled at uniform shreds and gratings.After each test, each grater was washed either by hand or in the dishwashwer. When washing them by hand, I noted how easy it was to get food bits to release from each grater, and how easy each one was to sponge wash and towel dry.
