The problems that people have with them are either that they have failed to maintain them properly or they have put them on to cook and wandered off, forgetting that the cooking will only take five minutes, and the thing boils dry. It will then explode but this usually takes some considerable time. Certainly if a conventional saucepan was left unattended for that length of time it would have melted.

I've found something at the back of a cupboard 

It's like a plastic takeaway container with a handle on one end, and a snug fitting aluminium lid like a cheese grater. I think it's Japanese from the writing on the back. I've never used it

We have one of those ~ It's for grating cucumber and other "wet" stuff ~ at least that's what we do with it.

[Pastis]

I think you're right ~ I can just see Oriental chefs grating wet vegetables. Why would you grate a cucumber though? 

[Snoopy]

  To make sandwiches when I'm being posh. It also grates them nicely to garnish salads and stuff.

Fairy nuff. I reckon the Japanese grate their 230 varieties of radish for the sushi mix etc. I will give it a try at the weekend with a cucumber ~ 


230 varieties? Plucked from thin air...

Not for filing nails then?
