Kitchen Gadgets

While I qualify as a geek on many levels I most closely associate with the title of gadget geek. I love nifty little gadgets, tools, and toys and will admit shamelessly to buying things in the past just to see how it works.

Unfortunately as this point in time technology seems to be outpacing my ability to make purchases. There are a few gadgets that are absolute musts to have in any respectable kitchen. I'll skip some of the more mundane pieces of technilogical marvels that keep our kitchens in good working order and get to my absolute must have kitchen gadget: an electric cheese grater.

I know that many of you are laughing right now but I have this thing about purchasing pre shredded cheese at the store, it just doesn't taste the same as freshly grated cheese and I am not masochistic enough to try and grate enough cheese for this cheese loving family. We have a genuine love of cheese from taco toppings, to quesadillas fillings, parmesean for our pastas, to toppings for our pizzas and countless other reasons to have shredded cheese in between we find ourselves in need of grated cheese far more often than we should probably care to admit.

So off I went in search of a great electric cheese grater in order to fill my kitchen gadget obsession and save my hands from many painful nights of cheese grating. Geek or not, the Deni Giovanna Italy Cordless Cheese Grater is the perfect model for my gadget geek kitchen needs. Really this nifty little grater has all the things I love in a gadget for my kitchen and none of the things I hate. First of all, it's easy on the hands. Second, it is diswhasher safe, and third (for me at any rate) it will grate not only the hard cheeses that devices of this nature are typically suited to do but also the softer cheeses that tend to bog down lesser graters. You should also find that this cheese grater is by no means limited to cheese. You can also grate nuts, chocolate, and other items as well. Last, but not least, this little gadget stores rather easily too.

If you go through a lot of grated cheese or even if you're just looking for another nifty little gadget for your kitchen collection you really should try out this wonderful little grater.
