1. I use it to grate onion for my meatloaf or meatballs. The real fine side is good for zesting citrus or grating things like nutmeg.
2. Along the same lines as the previous poster, I use mine to grate carrots for meatloaf.
3. Soap. Many recipes for making your own soap call for grating ingredients. Making liquid soap requires grating bar soap, as does turning soap scraps into a new bar of soap. If you want to make your own soap-on-a-rope you will need to shred a bar of soap first. Homemade laundry detergent also requires grated soap.
4. Grate your carrots for making carrot cake, grate your potatoes for making homemade hash browns, grate your onions for many dishes. You can grate other vegetables to add them into dishes for fiber content. It's a wonderful kitchen tool to have on hand.
5. Carrots? Onions?
