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

I hasten to add that I have the hand-held convex mini-grater for parmagianno. That's a different requirement altogether.
I also use the other side with the tiny spiky holes for grating nutmeg and cinnamon etc. |

i scrape hard cheeses with a knife edge or a spoon on an edge.
some might say i prepare food like an animal, i prefer the term "rustic". |

we just buy the cheese pre grated. saves time & money ( economical here) If we need veg grated or chopped we use the food processor
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.

Normally only use the big holes for grating carrots and cheese. But save the finer grating options for when I want a treat, I like very finely grated cheese but it's more effort.
Memo to self - get out more.

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. |

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

I just use grated cheese. |

I buy pre grated cheese.
If not though I use the grater attachment in the blender Quote:
If something has been through an extra process and is still sold cheaper I would ask why.

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
