OXO SoftWorks 12" Stainless Steel Box Grater, Black

This was my first time ever purchasing a cheese grater! I had used them when I was younger and in the kitchen with my stepmother, when I thought it was “fun” 🙃 I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner this year for my family, as my mother was placed in a nursing facility earlier this year. Normally when I make anything needing shredded cheese I just buy the pre shredded bags. However, I wanted to really put effort in this year…so I purchased the cheese grater! I thought it was a little pricey when I first looked them up, but after further looking the price was pretty in line with others. I really liked the design with the little box attached at the bottom to give me an idea of the amount shredded as I went along. I used it in a glass stovetop, on top of a small paper towel to catch any that may have fell out, and I had no issues at all with it slipping, falling back, or sliding away from me…very sturdy in my opinion. I was very hesitant to spend the $ not knowing the quality and knowing I didn't have time to get another one; however I am very pleased with my purchase!! And will most definitely continue to grate my own in the future!
