OXO Good Grips Grater
This easy-to-use single-panel grater transforms hard foods into finely grated textures. Because of the sharp stainless-steel blades, cheeses, chocolate, and citrus zests yield easily, and the soft, rubber handle absorbs pressure away from hands and avoids strain. The handle is also nonslip and won't budge, wet or dry. It's perfect for smaller jobs that don't require the use of a large grater, and cleanup is easy because the stainless-steel surface and rubber handle are dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award.--Laurie Notaro
