:: zyliss classic cheese grater- beautiful angel hair grated cheese ::

I have to say there are some items & products in my kitchen I simply couldn’t live without. Since having my son I have suffered terribly from radial nerve palsy in my left hand (somehow during childbirth!), tendonitis in both arms/hands & have also had calcium deposits in both shoulders. Phew! Is that all??? Yes, it has made my love of cooking & life a challenge at times but I now understand the importance of good tools in the kitchen. Items that are not only fast for someone that is time poor, but are easy to use for someone in pain & limited function. There are some that I rate highly in efficiency & quality and believe that they could give every kitchen a helping hand. I am going to bring a few essential items to you under a title Easy Kitchen. It is aimed at products in the kitchen that make my life just that little bit easier, & hopefully yours too. They are a few items that I believe help a kitchen to work like a dream, so please enjoy my new Easy Kitchen in the new year!

Freshly grated parmesan on hot pasta or stirred through a creamy risotto. Mmmmmmm.... delightful. I can taste it now! There is something about this incredible flavour that gets lost in the packet & only fresh will do. I know, I know, “I have no time for that guff” you are saying, but this Zyliss grater is so quick & easy for fresh cheese that you will use it on a day to day basis!

About 8 years ago I purchased this fabulous cheese grater from Zyliss after another less expensive brand melted away in the dishwasher. As you can see this one has stood the test of time & is just as effective now as the day I bought it. I use it numerous times a week for freshly grated parmesan or grana padana cheese, as they are a key ingredient in much of my weekly cooking. 

:: perfect for all hard cheeses ::

Pros: This gives a fine, angel hair consistency to your cheese. It’s perfect for on top of risottos or pastas, or to simply mix through recipes.

:: Also perfect for uniformly grating nuts & chocolate.

:: You can assemble the handle for right or left handed people.

:: It is easy to pull apart & assemble again for easy cleaning & it is dishwasher safe.

Cons: Hmmm, let me think.... nope, nothing.

How to use: Cut off a small wedge/block of hard cheese (or desired product) & insert it in the hole in the top, apply pressure to the handle as you wind & lovely cheese comes out the side. Too easy! Pull apart to rinse/wash.

Plus: All Zyliss products are Swiss made & have a 5 year warranty :)
