but that will end up costing 2CHF anyway

omg we forgot in all this drama that sanju still needs the grater ..... or got one? .... please update us if you already got one.

I would seriously go to Ikea and grab one, they are not so expensive for Switzerland.

And they will last you a long long time.

Hrm, it was almost a year ago now, not so easy to remember... I *want* to say it was around 150 - 200 chf though.

I'm lookin at the Ikea website to see if I can find it to give a more clear answer.



Edit:
Ok, got it... this is the kit: http://www.ikea.com/ch/de/catalog/products/40123264 Apparently it is 139chf! Not bad at all.


The peeler and the can opener are both junk but the knives aren't bad and the grater is fantastic (if a bit small).

Er... and the grater itself is only 2.50chf... the Utensils page(s) show a variety of options for many utensils, including a few different graters at various prices.

Right, I will do that too.... but sanju cant ... as she dont know what IKEA is

or maybe look in your local Brocki, Brokenhaus, they have loads of stuff for not many pennies

They might have it on Buy 1 Get 1 Free offers... keep one and sell the other one and lets call it "Enterprising"

But on a serious note.. cant you grate carrots with some Food Factory utility? I like carrot cake.. but everytime I ask for it my wife makes me do all the grating...

I would suggest trying the brockenhaus, I almost always see a lonely grinder hanging out there.
And did you say you are looking for something "throw away"? You'll find anything from Ikea gets put into this category after a year or two of usage.

One suggestion from my side ..... you (sanju) can get some kinda small mixer/grinder in Radikal for 20 CHF, and can be used to grate/crush carrots for your "gaajar ka halwa".

What ?!! 20 CHF !!! You want to give me a cardiac arrest!!

yup .... (not cardiac arrest as we need you for more funny comments), yup 20 CHF, my wife got one from Radikal, and it works too .

Hrm... how does she manage to get you to do that?

My hubby loves carrot cake but grumbles if I even give him the simple task of chopping pecans while I grate away at that pound of carrots.

thats what I am also thinking, how she manages to make him grating ....

I think, my wife is smarter than yours.. she got One for free and it even pays her bills too



P.S. Thanks for the appreciation... Im bored to my nuts and need some amusement for myself too.

I get Jaco (my husband) to do all the cheese grating, stiring etc
hehehe I'm a genius! Not really, he's just the sweetest guy

I like your wife

Did you find a fine GRATER???

Women and their evil ways

But truth is I like cooking, infact I enjoy it (not so good with it though)... when we got married she had to fight me to take control of our Kitchen.

Thats a good start, if you 2 can get along well

HAHAHA ...... that 20 CHF for that mixer is also paid by me, now she can grate any time, but in your case she always needs that grator at home while she wants to grate gaajar or paneer.
