Cuisinart Silicone Basting Brush

I think the construction quality of this is very nice. I think it looks very nice. But after using it for a bit, I'm unhappy with some of the design choices. Because the grating surface is not offset at all, the handle gets in the way when trying to use longer strokes like I do with a larger chunk of Parmesan cheese. So to explain what I mean, when you grate the cheese from the handle side to the top, because the handle is wider than the grating surface, there is a lower limit on how far back you can place the cheese without angling it. And if you're using it for a small amount, this is no issue, but when I'm grating a decent amount, I like to get more surface contact, so I'd like to lie the cheese flat against the face. Additionally, there is a bevel on the edges of the grating surface that are taller than the face. So again, if you have a larger block of cheese and try to lie it flat, the bevels on the edge prevent the cheese from actually being grated. I encountered this issue when I tried to reorient the cheese after hitting the handle. My recommendation would be to use a grater that has some sort of offset face, an no rounded bevels on the edges, or if they are, rounded in a way that puts the extra height on the back, not the face of the grating surface.
