This OXO product is another winner. I like the padded handle, and it really remains straight while grating a hard hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. The cheese does not fly all over the place either. It washes up easily in hot soapy water. Take a few seconds after you wash it to towel dry it. Cheese graters are famous for rusting, and I don't think even the OXO brand is immune to that.
