  1. If you shred a lot of cheese for nachos, mac & cheese, etc, the best, easiest grater is a table-top rotary grater. It suctions to the counter and has different blade wheels you can use to grate cheese. I also use it to grate carrots for salad and potatoes for hashbrowns.

  2. I have one of these 4 sided graters, but I use mine in a different way than anyone else. I lay mine on its side with the side I want to grate on facing up. Then I have the handle towards me and holding the handle I grate by pushing away from me instead of pulling, which is always easier. An added benefit is that the grated food stays inside the grater. I pick it up and dump the food into a bowl without having to touch it with my hands. Give it a try yourself. You will never go back to the other way, I promise.

  3. I have a box grater and a microplane grater, but my favorite is a rotary grater that came with a set of cookware and has a suction rubber base and several stainless cone-shaped interchangeable blades. It stands high enough to get a bowl under it to catch what's being grated.

  4. You can lay the box grater on its side my daughter does this all the time . Ditch the rubber seal it will trap foid and moisture and grow mold. It's why you shouldn't buy rubber scrapers with wooden handles trouble emerges where two different materials meet just gross.

  5. I bought a stainless steel box grater at Canadians Tire I say about 15 years or so ago. The metal handle broke years ago, but I still use it no problem. I just can't justify replacing it if it still works and I don't need to use it all the time.

  6. You can tilt the box grater to get your preferred angle, still control the output, grate more than will fit in the chamber. You can also grate more than one thing /use different sides in one session. I have both; for a big job I pull out the box grater.
