Recently enjoyed a Jacques Pepin program where in a dish he incorporated caviar that was not tiny eggs. He grated maybe with peeler. Anyone familiar with this product and being I live on Long Isla...

Does anyone know where I might be able to get one? I use it to grate potatoes for latkes and its the only one that produces perfectly textured latkes. Mine has seen better days - I've had it for ...

I have been having struggles with the microplane paddle graters in the last year or so. I had a fine paddle grater from Sur La Table that became so dull as to be almost unusable, which I chalked up...

The topic is fairly self-explanatory: I've cooked two dishes this weekend that used grated onions, and I've had to step out of the kitchen twice due to stinging eyes. How do you avoid this happe...

My mother mentioned wanting a new rotary grater (the one she has is ancient and in bad shape), so I thought I'd get her one for a gift. I've perused different models on Amazon, and those that don't...

I'm considering purchasing the cheese grater attachment for my Kitchenaid mixer and I'd appreciate hearing the opinions of CHs who have used this. Is it hard to clean? Do you feel it's worth havin...

(If everyone already knows about this, don't beat me up, okay?!?) I was making mapo tofu last night and the instructions were to grate the ginger and garlic with the microplane grater. This was...

I've been zesting lots of lemons lately and I've been using my regular medium microplane. Should I be using a microplane rasp grater instead so as to avoid the pith? ETA: It's the Microplane Fin...

I've seen many recipes suggest this but it seems dubious to me. Has anyone actually tried it and, if so, does anyone have any tips and/or a recipe for a dough that works particularly well for this ...

I was reading an article in Grub Street and the woman said she makes a pasta sauce to which she adds a head of garlic. She grates the head of garlic. I don't understand how this would work - is t...

I use a conventional four-sided hand grater for carrots. The grated threads come out shorter than I would like--not even half an inch. Is the problem in how I am using the grater, or am I using th...
