Progressive International HG-85 6-Piece Grater Set Review

Progressive International HG-85 6-Piece Grater Set

First, I'll tell you that I've only used this product once so far. It was yesterday. I used the slicer plate to prepare onions and peppers for a stir fry. It did what it was supposed to do fairly well. The blade wasn't as sharp as I'd have liked and I think that impacted the performance a bit.
My biggest gripe with this item is that it isn't as big as the pictures make it out to be. The grating surface is actually quite narrow. So you won't be able to get large chunks of cheese or whole veggies on there unless you cut them up first.
Now onto the good: I like how you can store this thing. All the plates fit inside it nicely. When assembling, you can't put it together wrong because everything only fits together one way. Clean up after use was a snap. I didn't even have to toss it in the dish washer. Just a good rinse with some hot water and it looked like new again.
If you need some light grating, this isn't a bad way to go. It was just disappointing to get a smaller than expected product.

A handy tool to have on hand, this six-piece grater set by Progressive makes easy work of a variety of everyday food-prep tasks. The versatile unit provides a durable plastic frame, a 3-cup-capacity measuring container, and four interchangeable blade inserts. Switch out one blade insert for another to shred, slice, grate, or zest. Use the grater set for anything from shredding cheese to add to a homemade pizza to slicing veggies for a salad, grating chocolate for a dessert, or zesting lemons and limes for baked goods and more. Non-skid feet keep the container securely in place when in use, and food can be stored in the container for later--no need to dirty a second dish. The pieces clean up easily by hand or in the dishwasher, and the inserts fit inside the measuring container for compact storage. Overall, the grater set measures 10 by 4-1/5 by 3-1/2 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

KitchenAid Professional Cheese/Food Mill Review

Bought one of these in my search for a good cheese grater to replace my sadly inadequate KitchenAid KG301 rotary model (see reviews on this before buying...they capture the problems well). After using this once, you have to ask: "what were they thinking?" The cutting disks can fit into the device both ways though only one way cuts, the disk is difficult to line up properly in the unit, and frankly doesn't cut well with my main use for parmigiano reggiano...it almost powders it. Worse, the circular hand motion needed to grate is fine for, say, a pepper mill for which only a small amount is needed. For this, the repetitive twisting and small yield are unacceptable.
For those of you like me who have and love the superb and unbeaten KitchenAid stand mixers, this device and the rotary grater are not in anywhere near the same quality and usefulness league.
Another cheese grater of no value to me.

Microplane Professional Patented Design Coarse Grater Review

Microplane Professional Patented Design Coarse Grater

This is the second Microplane grater that I have purchased (actually I purchased the extra coarse version), but the only 1 of the 2 that I would give a 5* rating to. The other grater was from the standard line not the professional line. With many kitchen items there are no significant differences between the two, but in this case it definitely matters!
All Microplane graters use the same basic technology for cutting -- technology which was originally developed for the woodworking industry but that has adapted for exceptional service in the kitchen as well. The razor sharp laser cut grating head will make quick & easy work of cheese grating or citrus zesting (if you have the proper size). I would suggest when choosing a size of grater that you choose 1 size larger as the sizing tends to run on the small size.
Now, what makes the professional so much better? Well, the standard line has 3 major/minor flaws: 1) the easy-grip rubber handle tends to capture water when washed, 2) the plastic molded frame holding the grating surface cracks when washed in the dishwasher, & 3) the head is so incredibly sharp that it must be kept covered, yet there is no easy way to due this except for the original tagboard cover.
The professional version fixes all of these issues. As you can see, the frame and handle are all stainless steel which eliminates issues #1 & #2 and the professional version comes with a nice snap-on plastic cover to protect the sharp head surface. In addition, the rubberized rest on the top of this version can come in very handy.
End result: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

If you are a lover of a Russian cuisine and like potato pancakes (Draniki) it's wonderful to grate potato. I couldn't find anything on a market for a long time that would grate potato in a food processor as fine as this blade. Now I can make potato pancakes in 10 min. Perfect for it!
