Food Preparation

I just saw one of these advertised on FB and think I might get one.

Looks a little gimicky

They're all gimmicky but it also looks like it does the job. I hate grating Lol.

I find it rather therapeutic

I like it. No more grating on a cutting board or plate.

Same here. Grating cheese is ok but if you're grating things like fruit or vegies you can't contain it all and bits tend to fly around all over the bench. This way it all falls into the bowl.

Out of curiosity, @Red Lily, why would you ever grate fruit?  

Don't you generally place your grater over a bowl?

@2cent I grate apples for things like cakes and salads. Grated apple and beetroot go really well together.

I use a box grater and sit it on a chopping board but things like apples and carrots still get messy and bits fly all over the bench.

I see.  Danka.  

Btw, you're a far more ambitious cook than I, that's for sure.
