Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I didn't buy this thing to grate nutmegs, as I inherited two old-fashioned nutmeg graters from my grandmother. I needed to grate ginger, and this clearly says it will. Well, it won't. In fact, it's just about worthless for that purpose. It makes a nearly unusable mess out of the ginger root, which of course is a somewhat juicy, quite fibrous affair. Then you need a special, dedicated brush to get the nearly unusable mess off the dang thing. Very little of the mess came through to the backside where it could have been scooped off. Instead it all entwined with the teeth on the front.
Now this thing is heavyweight and nicely machined as well as nice looking. The compartment cover fits is a very satsfying way. However, the engineering is horrible. First of all, one doesn't store even a dry nutmeg in an all-but-airtight compartment. Grandma's graters have storage compartments, too, which allow the free flow of air. But more importantly, it won't grate ginger properly. What good is all the beauty if function is missing? Of course, it may very well do your nutmeg OK for all I know. (The fine print also mentions garlic, citrus and chocolate.) I can't return it to Amazon because I got it on one of those 4 for 3 deals so would lose more than I'd gain. I put it right back in its package and hope I need to give a gift to someone who needs a nutmeg grater.
