OXO Good Grips Box Grater with Container Review

Verdict: useful when catching the shreds matters

The OXO Good Grips Box Grater is a sensible choice for cooks who regularly grate cheese or vegetables and would use the attached catch container. Four cutting faces make it more versatile than a single-surface grater, while the container gives small quantities somewhere to land. Choose it when that collection step improves your prep routine and you have room for the whole tool.

This is a research-based review of model 1057961, ASIN B0007VO0CQ. We have not tested sharpness, grating speed, shred uniformity, grip comfort or long-term durability. Our recommendation concerns the design and documented features, not a measured performance advantage.

Facts: the original box grater with container

The exact Amazon listing names OXO Good Grips 4-Sided Box Grater with Container, model 1057961 and part 1057961V3. OXO's official SKU is 1057961. This is a distinct product from its etched box grater with detachable zester; similar names do not make the parts interchangeable.

OXO's US size is 2.9 by 4.5 by 11.8 inches, and its UK page gives the closely matching metric dimensions of 7.3 by 11.4 by 29.9 centimeters. Amazon's general dimension field differs. Use the manufacturer measurements as your starting point, while leaving enough drawer clearance for the handle and exposed cutting faces.

Features: four faces and a removable catch box

The current manufacturer description identifies two wider faces for coarse and medium grating, with narrower faces for fine grating and slicing. Think about which texture your recipes actually call for: a versatile box is most worthwhile when you use more than one face, rather than repeatedly reaching for the same small zesting surface.

The container attaches below the grater to catch ingredients. Its markings can help with approximate volume portions, and the lid makes it possible to move the prepared food without keeping the whole grater over it. For a large batch, expect to empty it into a bowl as you work.

Amazon also describes grating over a plate or cutting board. That flexibility is useful if you would rather collect a large pile directly. The soft handle and non-slip components are design features, but they do not eliminate the need to keep the base stable or fingers clear of the teeth.

Research: choose between a box, a rasp and a processor

A box grater brings several textures together and can stand on the work surface. A narrow rasp may be simpler when a small amount of fine citrus zest is the usual task. For repeated large batches, a suitable food-processor attachment may deserve consideration, with its own setup and cleaning costs. These are workflow comparisons, not a side-by-side test.

OXO's separate etched model includes a removable zester. If detaching that surface for use above a bowl is important, compare that exact product rather than expecting the reviewed grater to do it. Do not mix its imagery, care specifics or model number into an order for 1057961.

We checked the current US and UK product pages, exact Amazon identity and the manufacturer-authored 2024 catalog. The catalog is hosted by a distributor and marks item 1057961 dishwasher safe. We did not use retailer stars, chef badges or customer anecdotes as an independent rating.

Safety and care: the teeth remain exposed

Treat all grating and slicing faces as sharp. Work on a stable surface, maintain a controlled grip and stop before the food becomes too small to hold safely. The container is a catch box, not a hand guard. Do not run bare fingers across the teeth to retrieve stuck pieces.

Remove the container and lid for cleaning so you can inspect food-contact areas. Use a brush carefully for trapped food rather than dragging a cloth or fingertip across the cutting edges. Follow the supplied care instructions, rinse away residue and let all parts dry before putting them away.

The catalog's dishwasher-safe designation does not establish microwave, oven or freezer suitability for the container. We also found no verified airtight-storage specification. Treat it as a convenient prep container, and follow normal storage requirements for the particular food instead of assuming the lid extends freshness.

Buying advice: confirm the container and the model

Choose this grater if several textures and a small collection box would earn their space in your kitchen. If you only need a fine finishing grate, consider whether a single-purpose tool would be easier to store and clean. Plan a storage position that prevents accidental contact with exposed faces.
