Ok the time has come to place an order with Lakeland limited! I am however faced with a dilemma - whether to buy the expensive with bells on, or the cheap but does the job version

Here is my first dilemma!!!

Would you buy this for £17.95

or this for £5.95

The grate and store is £6.75?

I'd buy the latter, I think. Actually, I wouldn't, I'd get the two pack for a couple of quid from Ikea!

(Mmmm, Lakeland...! Mmmm, Ikea...! )

OOOOOOh replies, thankyou Ill consider them in a mo. What about one of these???

\Is £14.95 justified for one of these????}
Bear in mind my kitchen work surface is tiny and I do a lot of baking!! I have been known to put cakes in the bedroom to cool just to keep them out of ds way!

Well having been through more cheese graters than I care to think about, the expensive on, coz it will last, and if u keep the receipt they will exxhange it if it breaks.

I have learnt the hard way, a cheese grater breaking every couple of month, but I am left handed which doesn't help

Hmmm, I would buy the first one as we have something similar for grating parmesan and it is very good.

MrsSpoon · 08/04/2006 21:37

The cooling rack, yes because you'll need to buy one or two other things to qualify for free postage.

Are zyliss products as wonderful as lakeland say they are then? Do they really last years and years

BTW I have already managed to resist a zyliss mandoline - Dh laughed hysterically at the price for one of those...........

I've got an older version of the grate n store with a rectangular collecting box, must have had for more than 6 years, this has to be the most used Lakeland item in my kitchen!
