I don't have one. I've got one of these types which is much easier to use

I use the drum with the big holes on it.

I use the small smooth slots on my four sided grater for parmagianno and similar. I have a convex hard cheese grater but it is too fiddly.
I also use the other side with the tiny spiky holes for grating nutmeg and cinnamon etc.

If something has been through an extra process and is still sold cheaper I would ask why.

BTW Tesco Mature strength 3 is £8 /KG grated and £5.56/KG ungrated. (online)

I use the top three. Big and small for cheese (depending on what size I need) and the holes with sticky-outy bits for grating lemon/lime peel.

Or get a Micro-Plane grater..... it's a piece of cake with one of these

Never had one, my parents used to have one that looked like D if you look above it, had a few different size holes on it and a slicer on the back, I have no idea where it went.

I have got a flat one and use fine size, but then I only normally grate cheese.

I do too. AND wait for it........ I use all four sides - although not all at the same time!

Never used it, but I always thought the spiky side was for bread crumbs.

And there was me thinking a cheese grater was just a cheese grater...

I just use grated cheese.

Pre-grated cheese is often not real cheese but is actually analogue, a processed product that is flavoured to taste like cheese. It may be made from vegetable or animal fat and contain colouring to give it the colour of cheese - think processed burger cheese slices - but is not real cheese. Even real cheese sold as grated will also contain anti-caking agents and additives.

Our four sided cheese grater broke a couple of months back and on my next trip into Morrisons I picked up a box grater type of thing as there was no 4 sided graters left. Oh what a big mistake! It wasn't a very functional grater at all, grater horizontally into a box, always hurt my hand, ended up buying a 4 sided grater not long after

Lift the floorboards and turn them over and nail them back in place (same applies for paving / patio slabs). No-one will notice, out of sight, out of mind and that malarky.
