These Are the Top-Rated Cheese Graters for Your Kitchen

Whether you're grating cheddar for Ree Drummond's mouthwatering macaroni and cheese or parmesan for her famous lasagna, the best cheese graters will help you get the job done. But of course, these versatile tools aren't just for cheese: You can make quick work of veggies, chocolate, and so much more!

When you're shopping for a cheese grater, keep your prepping needs in mind: Box graters often boast shredding holes of varying sizes and slicing capacities, making them incredibly versatile just like chef's knives. Handheld graters usually include just one hole size—they come in handy if you need to grate a small quantity of cheese or produce over a bowl. Zesters have smaller holes that allow you to shred food much more finely than a regular grater, so they're a good choice if you're zesting fruit or grating ingredients like garlic and ginger for a paste. If you love to automate your appliances, including things like electric can openers, an electric style might be your best bet. And if you want to pretend you're at your favorite Italian joint and the server is asking you if the house red is okay, a restaurant-style rotary grater might do the trick: It's best for grating hard cheeses, nuts, and chocolate.
