Product Description:
The Seal & Store Rotary Grater is the easy, convenient way to grate and store your favorite cheeses. Grate half a block of Parmesan and save the rest for later -- a layer of silicone seals the Grater so you can store cheese inside safely. An additional cap on the barrel compartment ensures a complete seal so your cheese will not dry out. Grate with the cap on to collect cheese before serving, or remove the cap and grate directly into your dish. The soft, comfortable rotating knob and a soft, non-slip handle and is perfect for grating cheese, chocolate, nuts and more.

Amazon.com Review:
Cheese, nuts, and chocolate can be grated ahead of time with this rotary grater, and stored conveniently right inside the silicone-sealed chamber until ready to use. Or, cut the exact size chunk you want to grate, insert it, seal it, and just before serving you can churn out a fresh sprinkle of parmesan on a casserole or flourish that whipped cream topping with a dusting of dark chocolate shavings. To use, squeeze the soft-grip handles with one hand, which causes the silicone-edged feeder to push the food against the sharp stainless-steel grating cylinder, and turn the soft rotating knob with the other hand. A plastic cap on the barrel keeps grated pieces contained, or removes to let the food grate directly into a bowl, on a pie, etc. The stainless-steel grating cylinder measures 3 by 1-1/2 inches, while overall the grater measures 6 by 5 by 3-1/4 inches. Easily disassembled for cleaning, the entire grater is dishwasher-safe. --Ann Bieri

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Great while it lasts (not long!)
Works great while it lasts - I've owned 2, and none made it past 2 months. The plastic breaks if the cheese is a little hard - and since I mostly use it for parmesan cheese, and that can be hard at the crust, it's not a good thing...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very handy cheese grater
We think this grater is just perfect for our needs. I had been buying those Kraft 'parmesan' graters that you use and throw away, and I wanted to get better quality cheese and stop wasting so much plastic with the disposable graters. We just pop a chunk of real parmesan in this grater and keep it in the fridge. I love that you can leave the cap on while you are grating and then pour the cheese over your food - so you don't get cheese all over the counter. The one thing we did figure out is that ...

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Poor guarantee
The rotary grater works very well and easy to clean. The black knob on the handle broke off. I have also heard this happening to two other people. No replacement handle is avaiable. The whole grater must be sent in for a replacement. This is a hassle when it should not be a problem for them to simply send a new handle.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - High maintenance, poor performance on soft cheese
So far I've had a good experience with Oxo products, but this one is a big disappointment. It really can only be used to finely grate hard cheeses. Any softer cheese (such as cheddar), even if briefly frozen, will be just smeared over the drum, stuck everywhere and will come out in a long rope, as one of the reviewers observed.

But it's not the worst part. I absolutely hate the design with the handle screwed on top of the drum and has to be reattached for every cleaning. With other graters ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Just OK
I got a traditional grater very soon after buying this one. For the money, it's a pretty good value, but it grates messily, is hard to clean, and is very uncomfortable to use. Also comes apart if you're not careful while grating. My cheese always came out lumpy, and forget about grating veggies. Blades are very dull. Nice if you feel like you have to have a rotary grater and don't want to pay too much. But only use for very soft foods.
