Factors to consider when purchasing a grater
There are a few key factors to consider before buying your grater online. We’ve noted down what to look for when shopping for a vegetable or cheese grater and zester .
Type of grater
First and foremost is the type of grater you need. Kitchen graters are available in a range of designs, each with different purposes. Some of the most popular types of graters include; box graters, handheld graters and rotary graters.
Material
Stainless steel graters are durable and easy to clean, making them popular among home cooks. However, a plastic or silicone grater may be more suitable if you're looking for something lightweight and portable.
Size and shape
Another important consideration is the size and shape of the grater. Box graters with multiple sides offer versatility and can handle various tasks like shredding cheese or zesting citrus fruits. On the other hand, handheld graters are compact and great for smaller jobs like grating ginger or garlic.
Safety features
It's also worth considering safety features such as non-slip bases or handles that provide a secure grip.
Additional features
Consider a grater with interchangeable blades or a grater with a container to capture food for optimal convenience. An ergonomic handle and easy cleaning options are essential for comfortable use and maintenance.
The most popular types of graters
Various kitchen graters are available in the market, but the most popular are the box grater, microplane grater, rotary grater, handheld grater, and ceramic grater.
Box Grater
This versatile grater features four sides with varying sizes of grating holes, allowing you to grate everything from cheese to vegetables. The larger holes are perfect for shredding, and the smaller ones work well for fine grating.
Microplane Zester
A microplane zester is specifically designed for extracting zest from citrus fruits, adding bright flavours to your dishes. It's also great as a cheese grater, perfect for hard cheeses like Parmesan or creating fluffy piles of chocolate shavings.These are loved by cooks and professional chefs globally due to their patented acid-etch construction that maintains its sharpness while offering incredible control and consistency. We love that Microplane has developed different options of coarseness so you can perfectly zest or grate ingredients to your exact liking.
Rotary Grater
With a rotary mechanism, this grater makes light work of hard cheeses like Cheddar by simply turning the handle. It can also be used as a vegetable grater, perfect for shredding carrots, potatoes, and other vegetables. These types of graters are also popular for those who suffer hand arthritis as it makes it a lot easier to grate ingredients than a conventional hand-held grater.
Handheld Grater
These compact hand graters are ideal when you need quick and small amounts of grated ingredients on-the-go or while grating directly over your dish. They store easily in kitchen drawers than larger standing graters.
Grater vs Zester
A grater and a zester are kitchen tools used for grating or shredding ingredients, but they serve different purposes. A grater typically has larger holes and is ideal for grating vegetables, cheese, or other ingredients into coarse shreds. On the other hand, a zester has smaller, finer holes designed to remove the flavourful zest from citrus fruits like lemons or limes, creating tiny, aromatic pieces for flavouring dishes and beverages. Zesters are also the preferred choice for grating (or zesting!) herbs and spices.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What side of the grater is for zesting?
Use the fine side of a grater or a zester to extract zest from citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges. The fine teeth on these graters create small strips of zest that add incredible flavour to your dishes.
2. What are the four sides of a box grater for?
A box grater typically has four sides with different types of blades. Each side serves a specific purpose:
- Coarse Grating: Perfect for shredding hard cheeses like cheddar
- Medium Grating: Suitable for making finer shreds of cheese or vegetables, great for making salads or vegetable patties.
- Fine Grating: Ideal for creating delicate strands of cheese, such as Parmesan or Romano or herbs and spices like ginger, nutmeg or garlic.
- Slicing: Great for thinly slicing vegetables like cucumbers and carrots or for those who enjoy larger,chunkier slices of cheese over grated cheese.
