There are three types of graters: the box grater, the handheld grater, and the food processor grater.
The box grater is the most common type of grater. It has a rectangular shape with four sides, each with a different grating surface. The box grater is also the most versatile type of grater, as it can be used for grating cheese, vegetables, chocolate, and nuts.
The handheld grater is smaller and more compact than the box grater. It is ideal for grating small amounts of cheese and chocolate. The handheld grater also has the advantage of being able to be used with one hand, which can be helpful when grating ingredients for a recipe.
The food processor grater is the most powerful type of grater. It is able to grate large amounts of cheese, vegetables, and nuts quickly and easily. The food processor grater is also the most expensive type of grater.
