Description
A cheese grater is a kitchen tool designed for shredding or grating cheese into smaller, fine pieces. It typically consists of a flat or box-like structure with sharp, raised perforations or blades on one side. The cheese is rubbed against these sharp surfaces, resulting in finely grated cheese. Cheese graters come in various sizes and designs, offering different grating options such as fine, medium, or coarse. Some graters may have multiple sides with different sizes of perforations for various grating needs. They are commonly used in recipes that call for grated cheese, such as pasta dishes, salads, or gratins. Cheese graters are available in different materials, including stainless steel, plastic, or handheld rotary styles. With a cheese grater, you can easily prepare freshly grated cheese to add flavor and texture to your favorite dishes.
