I don't like the box graters like this one. OXO and Ikea both make nice ones that fit over a container to catch the grate. The OXO has eaten bits of my fingers, though.

    There's a trick to using box graters that most people don't know (I certainly didn't until recently)

    • Lay a towel or some parchment paper in a sheet pan (optional)
    • Lay the grater on the pan
    • With your non dominant hand, hold the handle of the grater and the rim of the sheet pan
    • With your dominant hand, grate, pushing away from you + into the countertop

    The mechanics of pushing down/away are much better than holding the thing upright, dangling it over a bowl or whatever. Easy to just push with your palm too (and keep your fingers out of the way).
