Oh, my goodness!! I was making the Chocolate Tiramisu cake at a show tonight (2nd tiramisu cake since Sept 1) The only thing I don't like to grate in our Deluxe Cheese Grater is chocolate chips, but that's what the recipe says to use. I'd already shown the guests my new products, and one of them said, as I was grating the chips, "Why don't you use the new grater?" It was MARVELOUS!!! Such a smooth operation. I got so excited that everyone else had to come try it, too! Wow! Great grater!
I totally agree. I used it the other night to grate peanuts and everyone was in total amazement. I like it better than the cheese grater for those kinds of things.
I haven't tried it with small "loose" items like nuts and chocolate chips. I will have to give it a try. I LOVE it for parmesan cheese. I always dreaded doing parmesan in the regular cheese grater because it was so hard. Now I can't wait to show it off at shows.
I love my microplane grater. I bought mine at a kitchen store before Pampered Chef had one. I was so glad to see it in the new product line up. I can't recommend this item enough.
