Nobody likes to make more work for themselves in the kitchen, but buying pre-shredded cheese and chopped veggies can really put a dent in your grocery budget. Yes, it’s true, we do pay for the convenience of not having to stand over a cutting board, painstakingly chopping produce and cheddar for 30 minutes; however, you’re not always guaranteed the freshest ingredients when you shop this way. What if I told you that there was a kitchen gadget that would shred your cheese and chop your veggies without adding a bunch of prep time?
The Geedel Cheese Grater is a rotary mandolin that’ll shred your food in record time. It can slice through cheese, nuts, produce, and even crackers. Shredding and grinding your ingredients will take literal seconds (seriously, setting it up will take longer), saving you a bunch of time in the kitchen whether you’re grating a giant block of cheese for macaroni or cutting veggies for a fresh salad. Over 400 people have bought one in the past month and it has over 2,700 5-star reviews, with home cooks saying it’s been a total game-changer in their kitchens.
Aside from being way safer to use and easier to clean than regular graters, the Geedel Kitchen Cheese Grater will also cut down your prep time. The crank will do all the heavy lifting and you won’t have to slow down when you get to the last bits of your food to protect your fingers. It’ll grate cheese up to 12 times faster than traditional graters and it’s more accommodating and accessible, giving those who struggle with dexterity or grip a little more independence in the kitchen.
The fine grater is great for crumbling hard ingredients like nuts and biscuits for baking recipes. You can even put ice cubes into the fine grater and spin for powdered ice. The regular grater attachment will shred cheeses and veggies like carrots and zucchini, perfect for salads or stir-fries. The slicing blade will make thin slices of veggies and fruit like cucumber, radish, and even potatoes to make potato chips from scratch.
