## Questions & Answers

**Q: I can't figure out how to open this grater for cleaning. Can you help me?**
A: Hold the grater with the word "zyliss" facing you.  Put your right thumb inside the right open cylinder and press against the back to keep it from turning.  With your left hand, turn the crank away from you.  The crank will completely screw off and you can remove the cylinder.  Then you can wash everything (I prefer hand washing it in warm soapy water) and when it's completely dry put the cylinder back in and screw on the crank by turning it toward you.  Hope that helps!

**Q: are there differ sizes of graters**
A: This grater only came with one size grater. It is average size but very fine. I think it's the perfect size for pasta.

**Q: What about cheddar?**
A: What about cheddar?  What is that suppose to be asking???  Are you asking, will it grate Cheddar, yes it will.  It will even grate Dolphin if you want it to.

**Q: Does this work for left handed people?**
A: Do you mean, can you switch the rotary handle to the left? If so, then no. You could hold the entire thing upside down so that the rotary handle is on the left, but the other handle (the one pressing the cheese) is now upside down. This way works, but it feels awkward, and you have to crank backwards.

    Great Restaurant-style Grater
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2011*

Have you ever found yourself jealous of the waiter at your favorite Italian place? How he just cranks the little handle and out comes a gorgeous shower of delicious Parmesan cheese? He says, "Now just say 'When,'" and you watch as a delicious mound of tasty cheese piles up, completely obscuring your salad, but your waiter still smiles, even though you are clearly not going to say, "When," anytime soon. Why? Because his rotary-style grater makes grating cheese an easy task. Have you ever wanted to *be* that waiter?Well, now you can, with this super grater from Zyliss.I really like that everything comes apart, so I can just throw the grater bit in the dishwasher, because that is how I roll. I was having nightmares of having to dig up in there with a bottle brush, but this thing is super-easy to clean. I like that all the sharp bits are otherwise concealed inside a nice, sturdy, plastic body, because I am clumsy, and have grated my own fingers on more than one occasion.I am a bit surprised at those who have trouble with this grater. I can only imagine they are somehow holding it oddly -- perhaps their waiter uses a different type of grater, so they aren't sure how to hold it? For the record, you ought to place a small wedge of cheese in the grater, hold the grater in your left hand, pressing down on the doo-hickey (I don't know what it is called, do you?) with gentle pressure from your thumb. Not too hard, mind. That's just going to make it hard to crank! Then simply turn with your right hand. Around and around and around and around...I suspect some people probably are putting too much pressure on the aforementioned doo-hickey because I am 5'2" with very small hands (one of my ring fingers is a 4½) and almost no upper arm strength (in school, when they made me do chin-ups, all I could do was just hang there... and even then only for a few seconds) and I'm not having any trouble grating my parm.Now, this probably would not work for soft cheeses. In general, in my experience, all graters suck at soft cheeses. They just get all jammed up in there. It might would work for, like, a hard cheddar, but I don't know, because -- let's face it -- this thing can bill itself as some sort of generalized grater all it wants, but this is a Parmesan grater. Its job is to grate Parmesan cheese over your salad, your marinara, your Alfredo... (yes, I put cheese on Alfredo.. don't judge me!). If you are looking for something that is more of a cheese multitasker, I'd look elsewhere.For a Parmesan grater, however, this cannot be beat!

    All I need is the cheese
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021*

In truth, I haven't used this yet.  I purchased it on the reviews after returning three metal graters.  I say metal because they were not the stainless steel I had expected, among other faults.  As to being able to use it right or left handed,  the handle screws into the drum on one side.  If you're right handed there's no problem grinding.  But if you are left handed and insert the drum on the opposite side, you'll find that you have to turn the drum in reverse.  That's all I have to say about this at the moment.  I'm sure it will do a fine job of grinding but I have to wait until I've used all the parmigiano I presently have.I HAVE NOW USED IT AND HERE'S WHAT I FIND.  Yes, it grates well.  The handle could be just a bit bigger, though.  And when you're done, at least when I finished, you can't unscrew the handle from the drum.  Try as I might, I can't.  But it cleans up fine and fits in the drawer so I'm not going to make a big deal out of this minor flaw.

    Works well, and beats the alternative
  

*by T***I on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2013*

I grated cheese for many years with a regular box grater.  It was always a pain, so i usually just bought pre-shredded Parmesan.  No more!What i like about this machine:-Comes with a "fine" grating drum.  Some other graters sell multiple drums.  I was ok with the one drum, because i generally want my cheese grated finely.  If you want a bigger drum, i don't think i would buy this item.  I can't seem to find a "course" drum on amazon.-Handle is comfortable.  I have no issues grating 3-4 platefuls of cheese for people (and i'm not a big burly guy either).-The lever that holds the cheese does a good job.  The counter fits the drum, so you can get almost all of the cheese grated before you encounter problems (see below).-Easy to clean.  Just turn the handle counter clockwise while holding the drum still and it pops right off.  Then the drums slides right out.  Just put it all the dishwasher.  Simple.-Holds a good size chunk of cheese.Things to watch out for:-You have to press very firmly on the lever mechanism with your left thumb, otherwise you'll find that the drum just spins and pushes the cheese up.  BUT - i don't find it particularly uncomfortable.-When you get toward the end of the piece of cheese, it can slip through the gap between the drum and the main body.  Means you can't quite grate everything.PRO TIP: Because of that last item, i like to cut triangles.  Put the triangle "point up".  That way when you get toward the end, you don't end up with a long piece of ungrated cheese.  Just a small sliver.  Then just throw that piece on whatever it is you're eating.Also, the grater fits in a regular sandwich size ziploc.  So if you don't feel like cleaning the grater every day, you can slip it in there and put it in the fridge, cheese and all.
