Help and advice

A few things to consider:

• Box type graters are more stable but are designed for use in a downward, vertical direction only.¹
• Some hand held graters have a right-angled handle which can make them easier to hold and which allows grating on a horizontal plane or in a range of directions.

For people with reduced hand grip, tremor or the use of only one hand it can be useful to:

• Stabilise the food before grating. For example by using a product with spikes or a grater integrated into a food preparation board.²
• Use a grater with a food container.
• Use a powered grater (pictured above).
• Use a permanently fitted grater surface.¹

A food processor may be the quickest way to grate but check the capacity. A mini food processor may be more suitable if you only want to process small amounts of food.
