Best Electric Cheese Graters For Home & Professional Use

Cheese lovers everywhere recognize that this is a tantalizing treat for the taste buds. Freshly grated cheese turns a pile of noodles into a gourmet meal.

But does it really make a difference if that cheese if freshly grated?

I believe that there is a huge difference between the taste of freshly grated cheese and store-bought pre-grated cheese.

The grater is easy to clean as the hopper slides off easily and can be cleaned with soap and water or put in the dishwasher.

Grandma Ann’s versatile machine will let you grate a large amount of food in minutes.

It works extremely well for hard cheeses like parmesan and gruyere and can handle softer cheese like mozzarella.

It is also an excellent machine for grating hard vegetables like potatoes and coconuts.

Two blades are included, the regular grating blade and a roller blade for shredding.

You can even use it to grate soap. The 1/2-horsepower motor gives you more than enough power.

This American-made electric cheese grater comes with a 1-year warranty.

If you’re a sucker for a good story, you’ll enjoy knowing that Grandma Ann was a real person, famous for her kugelis, a potato dish that required some serious grating.

Ann’s grandchildren grew up helping Grandma in the kitchen and they designed this grater to honor her legacy and to capture “hand-grated goodness” in a high-powered electric version.

It can be used with any bowl and it won’t take up too much space in a drawer. It comes with three stainless steel drums: fine, coarse and slicing.

The blades are acid-etched, making them extremely sharp. The 200-watt power is enough to do some serious grating, but those (professionals) who need to grate a lot of cheese might find it to be lacking.

Afterward, cleanup is easy since both the hopper and drums are safe to go on the top rack of the dishwasher.

In addition to cheese, this grater can be used for veggies and chocolate. Although the drums are well made and quite durable, some of the plastic parts on this grater might not stand the test of time.

Unfortunately, it will not do a fine grate so if you’re looking for powdery parmesan, this is not the tool for you.

This white tool isn’t the best-looking electric cheese grater on the market, but it’s very affordable and performs extremely well.

If you want a versatile tool that shreds cheese but will also work well for slicing veggies or chopping nuts, this Presto SaladShooter should meet your needs.

It uses four cones, one for thin slices, one for thick slices, one for ripple cuts, and one for shreds.

This makes it easy to fill a bowl of shredded cheese or to shred cheese right on top of a plate of pasta.

Cleanup is easy, as all the removable parts are dishwasher safe.

The battery is rechargeable so you can charge when not in use and then be free to carry it around without needing to be tethered to an outlet.

This is a really nice feature for bringing it right to the dinner table to add some cheese right onto individual diners’ food.

You have about 20 minutes of continuous power when the battery is fully charged which is more than enough time to get through a meal, even if someone keeps adding a little bit more cheese to their pasta throughout the meal.

The handle is ergonomically designed and should suit both right-handed and left-handed users.

It’s a versatile tool that works for things like veggies and chocolate as well as cheese and it comes with drums for grating, shredding, and slicing.

Like the Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter, this is a good tool for slicing or shredding cheese but not for finely grating cheese.

This is essentially the same as the professional model, but it doesn’t have as many cones.

There are only two cones included, one for slicing and one for shredding. Like the 02970, it has a handle for convenient point-and-shoot use.

The other major difference from the pro model is the capacity. It’s not a huge difference, but the cones do have a smaller capacity which cuts down a bit on the grating speed. This is easy to put together, easy to use, and easy to clean.

Most cheese graters look essentially the same, but this grater from Cole & Mason stands out from the crowd.

It looks almost like a piece of modern art, an elegant and minimal sculpture.

Unlike most of the other graters, this one isn’t versatile. Grating cheese is all it does, though you do have a choice of two blades with different grating styles.

This cheese mill is powered by 6 AAA batteries and unfortunately, it doesn’t take long to go through these batteries.

For this reason, it’s probably not a good option for people who need to grate cheese regularly unless they want to buy a ton of batteries.

Some users have reported problems with the performance of this grater but it can grate quite well, at least in small quantities.

The grating base can be used as an attractive storage container for the grated cheese and even comes with a nice lid. There is also a nice tray or base for the cheese mill to rest on.

This grater from DeLonghi isn’t beautiful like the Cole & Mason cheese mill but it does offer similar convenience.

It also offers more reliable power since it uses a rechargeable battery instead of AAAs. When fully charged, it should last long enough to grate cheese on 100 dishes.

Delonghi’s grater can be used for other things like chocolate and nuts, but it is designed primarily for grating cheese.

It works equally well with hard and softer cheeses. Unfortunately, you don’t have any control over the size of the grate.

If you prefer your parmesan to be grated very finely, you might be disappointed as it is closer to a shred.
