Exciting thread of the day...what cheese grater do you have?

[lucysmam]

I think it's probably about time I replaced my falling to bits one.

i have one similar to this. It catches the cheese once you have grated it

That's similar to what I have already. The grater bit of mine has a plastic bit round it though, that's falling off in bits. It had a handle too but that came off years ago .

I have one of these, which is really handy as the tub has a lid so you can grate then store a load of grated cheese in the fridge.

I also have a standard box grater which is getting blunt and in need of replacement.

The IKEA rotary one.

My cheese grater, is just a flat stand up one, with a handle to hold,and has largish holes for grating. It is shiny stainless steel in new looking condition.I bought it in 1967, just before I was married. It is my little treasure !

Do you all have only one?
I have 5. 2 with the little boxes, I flat one, 1 traditional column one and a little whirly one which is useless.
I really only use the box ones but I am clearly a sucker for kitchen gadgets.

I bought one like the IKEA one linked above but it was £2 in ASDA. I can't believe they are selling for £13.99

@QuitMoaning I have two - the broken one, and a mouse for parmesan.

I did order a dinky one for garlic ages ago but it never arrived :(

I've been looking at rotary ones but, it's a cheese grater & I sort of convinced myself a couple of quid one would do!

I have two. One with a plastic bowl underneath it to catch my cheese and one traditional stand-up one. I think its essential to have more than one.

A Magimix though we do have a box grater for tiny amounts. I'm just lazy and grate a whole block at a time in the machine

LadyMonicaBaddingham I have a Bosch with a grater attachment. It irritates me having to wash its bits from grating cheese . I'm not fussed when I make a cake or dough or whatever else though

I have a Microplane grater, and also a wet and dry attachment for my Bamix, which grates anything from breadcrumbs to cheese and chocolate.

I buy my cheese ready grated.

Mine is like this

We have a bloody Star Wars lightsaber shaped one thanks to dp! I’ll admit though, I do like quirky kitchen utensils, so I am rather fond of it lowers tone

Microplane. They are the best.

I've got the IKEA tub one.

I keep getting a grater advertised at me on Facebook - it's got Shredder from the 80s Turtles cartoon and I love it! It's something like $50 though

I buy my cheese ready grated.
Me too, and I keep bags of it in the freezer. But if I run out I'll grate a bit off the blocks I buy for my husband's sandwiches.

@suelleker Why would buy blocks and bags of grated? So expensive and covered in a non clumping agent so not as good!

@jomalone I use grated for cooking; just grab a handful. I don't have any problems with it. My husband likes one specific local cheese in his sandwiches (Sussex Charmer)

Just an ordinary one, but if I need a lot I use the processor but it's an arse to clean!

I'm not keen on ready grated cheese. Plus it'd get eaten faster...at least having to grate it as we want it slows down consumption a bit

Maybe I'll just get another box type one for the moment.

I do still fancy a rotary one though...maybe I need two 🤷‍♀️

A Joseph Joseph one - it’s amazing!

The microplane graters are the best. I have the box grater and a few handheld ones. I grate a lot of veg in this house as I have small children so use all of them a lot.

Ikea, container one with two different sizes plus lid for storage.
