I am a cheese lover, so a lot of cheese gets grated at my house. Let me tell you, this is one of the best graters I have ever used. I LOVE that it comes apart as two separate graters, it makes loading it into the dishwasher a breeze. The two bottom sides of the grater have little grips on the bottom so that it won't slide around while you are grating! This thing is great, another great product by OXO.
