If it was possible to be in love with a kitchen tool, this would be it. So sharp, and it is pressure sensitive so if you press lightly while grating you get thin shavings, firmer pressure will give you thicker. The detachable zester is perfect for parmesan over pasta. I haven't used the container that fits underneath, but I can see how it would be useful. An excellent product all round, and worthy of the Oxo name.
