    Is it just me - or do all the best foods have cheese in them?

    By metropolitanmama | April 26, 2008

    Think: pizza, quesadillas, twice baked potatoes, enchiladas, etc. Cheese is also great to sprinkle on soups, salads, and breads. AND grated cheese is the perfect food for toddlers just learning to eat. Cheese is just plain good.

    We use our graters so often (almost every day) that we have three different ones. Excessive? Maybe. But we actually put them all to pretty good use.

    Could you use a new grater? Or a second one?

    Check out this sleek, stylish, and functional Box Grater ($14.99) from OXO International. It comes with a “a storage container with non-slip ring, measurement markings, and a lid for catching and storing your freshly grated ingredients.”

    If you’re more of a parmesan-cheese-on-soup or grated-chocolate-on-sundae type of person, you’ll probably be drawn to the Seal & Store Rotary Grinder ($14.99), also from OXO International. 

    If you’re in the market for a grater that is reliable and inexpensive, OXO is a great way to go. You can purchase the graters online or at a store near you.

    WIN IT! There will be two winners. One winner will receive the Box Grater and the other winner will receive the Seal & Store Rotary Grinder. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post stating which grater you prefer prior to Saturday, May 3 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). The winner will be announced and contacted on Sunday, May 4. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

    *UPDATE* The winner of the Box Grater is #292 Connie and the winner of the Seal & Store Rotary Grinder is #259 Sarah Lehan. Congratulations!

      Another great one, Stephanie! I SO agree that cheese is just the best. I love to make so many things with cheese, from simply adding some to scrambled eggs or a quiche in the morning to putting it on top of a sandwhich, soup, or chicken for dinner!

      Hard to say which I would like better, but I’ll say the Box Grater because I have to choose one!

    2. Becca Says:

      I’d agree with you, but I’d expand that statement to: All the best foods have cheese or chocolate in them. And the few with both, like chocolate cheesecake?! Heaven!

      Love the “holder” on the bottom of the box grater. AWESOME IDEA! That would come in very handy.
      And count me in on the chocolate shavings too. Yummmmy!

      Cheese is definitely one of my favorite foods. I love all kinds, as is, melted, fondue style, shredded…it all tastes fabulous to me! I’ve been meaning to replace my box grater so that would be the one for me!

    8. Belinda Says:
      April 26th, 2008 at 10:58 pm

      I agree that cheese is good on almost everything.
      Chocolate is even better! I would like the Seal and

      Box graters are wonderful not just for cheese, but things like grating carrots for spaghetti sauce instead of sugar. And leave it to OXO to make it even easier.

      I would love both, but since i have to choose, I will have to say the Seal and Store Rotary Grinder. My family loves cheese!! Whenever we are looking for a snack…we usually pull out the block of cheese with some olives or deli meat..Cheese is sooo good:)LOL

      Hands-down, OXO makes the best quality kitchen tools and toys. But, they are not just in the kitchen! I have some OXO handtools, and they are incredibly well-designed and well-made, just like their kitchen ware. I’d buy OXO anything, and these two items look fantastic. And I love freshly grated Pecorino Romana, nothing beats locatelli!

      I’m trying to keep my jaw from totally dropping! (what cool products!) I am sooo right there with you. We love, love, love cheese! Especially strong flavored, but not-too-stinky cheese. The boxed grater is a wonderful invention! My product designer hubby would be thoroughly impressed :) How fab that the cheese doesn’t get everywhere, and it won’t sleep on the countertop. But, I’d certianly love a chance to try either. thanks!

      …and keep the great recipes coming!

      I’d love the box grater - my grater is so old, and is one of those ones that you lay over a bowl, I always cut myself on it lol. If I don’t win this one, maybe I should ask for one for Mother’s Day hmm?

      Happy Monday! Our family loves cheese. Plain, almost any type, in casseroles and such! My husband really enjoys cooking and loves cooking gadgets. We do not have the “Seal and Store Rotary Grinder.” Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks,Cindi

      I’m a super cheese lover. I have a friend whose husband dislikes cheese and I am very sad for her. I’ve become lazy about grating cheese and usually buy the already shredded version and I’ve never bought a whole chunk of Parmesan so it would be fun to have the seal and store grater.

    158. Julie Says:

      I don’t own a grater and would love to own the Box Grater. We usually just end up buying shredded choose from the store so this would be neat to have.

    163. Nada Says:
      April 29th, 2008 at 9:49 am

      No, it’s not just you! Cheese is the best. I’d love to have the rotary grater…it’d make a great addition to my kitchen, and I’m sure my husband will like chocolate shavings on his cold drink - I will too! Yum.

      I’d certainly take either, but as my hubby likes shredded parmesan, he’d love it if I won the rotary grinder. I’d love to try the chocolate, too… :) gumbi1313 at msn dot com

    166. Kim Says:
      April 29th, 2008 at 12:29 pm

      The grater with the nonslip container at the bottom is an awesome idea. I always end up having my grater over a paper plate or something like that, and its sliding all around and it takes forever to get stuff shredded. Great giveaway!

    167. Lindsie Says:
      April 29th, 2008 at 12:42 pm

      I’d like the box grater. I would use that all the time. I’ve been searching and searching for the right one but I’m afraid to buy one because I’m worried it won’t be a good one. You’ve done the hard part and picked out a quality grater now all I have to do is win it!

      I would pick the box grater. My son “borrowed” mine & hasn’t returned it yet. Thanks for the contest!

      I could use a rotary grater, we could grate our cheese at table!

      I prefer the Seal & Store Rotary Grinder. It would be so much fun to serve cheese on top of spaghetti at home, just like in a fancy restaurant.

      I could really use the rotary grater. I had one years ago, but it broke and I haven’t replaced it yet!
