Gefu Handheld Rotary Grater
With a rotary grater, a 360-degree spinning drum takes in ingredients and turns out perfect shreds over 10 times faster than manual box graters or microplanes—we like them for their efficiency, since they offer continuous grating power without having to change positions, the way you might on a box grater, for less hand fatigue and greater overall safety. In a test of 13 rotary graters, this handheld model from Gefu outperformed the rest with its tabletop counterpart. Gefu’s handheld model is a Red Dot Design Award Winner, and for good reason; the two interchangeable grater drums offer fine and coarse grating for cheese, nuts or chocolate. The grater is comfortable to hold and smooth to operate, and for soft cheese in particular, our testers noted the prettiest shred. Choose between grating into a closable hopper for later or à la minute over a finished dish. Either way, the handheld model goes easily from counter to table. And it comes apart for easy cleaning; just toss it into the dishwasher.
Gefu Transforma Tabletop Rotary Grater with Three Drums
With a rotary grater, a 360-degree spinning drum takes in ingredients and turns out perfect shreds over 10 times faster than manual box graters or microplanes—we like them for their efficiency, since they offer continuous grating power without having to change positions, the way you might on a box grater, for less hand fatigue and greater overall safety. We tested 13 rotary graters to find out which one would rise to the top, and this model from Gefu was a clear winner. Three interchangeable laser-cut drums slice, finely grate and coarsely grate vegetables, fruit, cheese, chocolate and nuts. The base is built extra high to allow even the tallest of vessels or bowls to fit comfortably under the rotary grater’s drum, and the base’s suction foot comes with a clamp that attaches to counters or tables for extra security, so the grater won’t rock or tumble during use. The Gefu comes with a pusher to safely insert ingredients into the drum, as well as a spatula. Plus it comes apart easily for clean up—toss everything but the base into the dishwasher.
