We got one of those crank-it graters from Chef-whatever, the one that
the women keep throwing parties to sell stuff. I believe it was a
Zyliss brand, and it works just fine and is very easy to take apart
and clean. I rarely use the thing, as I prefer to just use a peeler
and shave big strips of Parmesan over whatever pasta I'm having. But
I do remember my wife using it to grate chocolate that she needed to
melt for something, so it's good for more than just cheese. Course
she uses her egg slicer (can't imagine why anybody would want one) to
slice mushrooms. I prefer a simple knife and a cutting board myself,
but oh, well.
