I am so happy you posted this -- I have been wanting to buy a rotary grater for the longest time but having no idea what it looks like, nor the end result -- well I just couldn't justify it when I already have a food processor (and box grater I might add -- not to mention availabity of packaged grated coconut in the shops). Now I think I will invest in the rotary grater and try some excellent fresh coconut. Thank you so much! :)Lindahttp://outofthegarden.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019364330275165959.post-9717519776416157812007-10-24T12:16:00.000-04:002007-10-24T12:16:00.000-04:00Really, really interesting...<BR/><BR/>By the way, have you ever tried <A HREF="http://us.microplane.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=2" REL="nofollow"> microplane graters</A>?...
