Cuisipro 746850 5-in-1 Tower Grater

Product Information

The Cuisipro Grater featuring Surface Glide Technology™ and soft-touch handle for easy grip. Exclusive to Cuisipro, Surface Glide Technology™ grooved grating surface takes etched graters to the next level by creating the perfect balance between ease of grating and maximum efficiency. The science behind this technology is based on the repeated grooved pattern that is spread evenly across the face of the grating surface, creating a larger cutting surface for food and allowing you to grate more with less effort. Comes with extendable blades and 3 grating surfaces in 1 tool (coarse, superfine, starburst): This grater does it all. With it, you can zest or shred finely (great for garlic cloves and cheese to top pasta with); slice fruit and veggies such as apples, cucumbers, potatoes, etc.; and do medium or coarse shreds. Some of this, of course, could also be accomplished with some pro-level knife skills, but if you’d rather have a grater do the work for you, this is an excellent option. It also comes with a rubber handle and rubber base and is technically dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended if you have the time. In testing, we ran it through the dishwasher multiple times with no ill effects. This also did a good job with our hard and soft cheeses. While it was able to slice both carrots and zucchini, it wasn’t as good as some others we tested, making some rough cuts along the way. Still, if we had the grater out and didn’t want to grab a knife, it would be handy. While the silicone bumper at the base helps keep the grater stable, we noticed that it trapped bits of cheese, which made it more difficult to clean (it's not dishwasher safe). In testing, we liked that we had a choice of cutting or grating with the inserts in the holder, or holding them up at a steeper angle, like a mandoline. The smallest grater wasn’t as small as some of the graters we tested, but worked well for both cheese and zesting. The larger grating surface also worked well. The julienne blade made small thin slices that were smaller than a traditional julienne cut, but worked well. The slicer was one of our favorites, slicing both carrots and zucchini with ease.

Exclusive to Cuisipro, Surface Glide Technology grooved grating surface takes etched graters to the next level by creating the perfect balance between ease of grating and maximum efficiency for the ultimate grating experience. The science behind this technology is based on the repeated grooved pattern that is spread evenly across the face of the grating surface creating a larger cutting surface for food, therefore, grating more with less effort. Perfect to create a fine, silky texture with dry or moist ingredients, such as citrus, hard cheese or ginger. Box graters are efficient when they are sharp, but after years of regular use, the edges tend to wear down. If you find you're struggling to shred cheese or hard veggies, it's probably time for a new one.

Analysis and Test Results

This award winning grater combines razor-sharp etched blades with a grooved pattern to allow cooks to grate larger quantities of food with less effort. The non-slip handle and base provide good stability so the grater can easily handle grating large quantities of food. The grater has five grating surfaces: fine, coarse, ultra-coarse, shaver, and ginger. Although the Cuisipro is among the most expensive options on this list, it also boasts the best design. First of all, it’s what’s called an etched grater (as opposed to a stamped one). Though etched are pricier, they result in sharper, more precise tools. Plus, the Cuisipro graters exclusively have what’s called Surface Glide Technology, which reduces friction and increases the surface area of each blade, meaning each stroke results in more grated cheese, veggies, or whatever else you happen to be working with.
