cheese grater

A cheese grater is a kitchen tool used to shred or grate food, especially cheese, into smaller pieces or fine shreds. It typically consists of a handle and a flat or box-shaped surface with sharp, raised, and abrasive surfaces or holes. When you rub the food against these surfaces, it breaks down into uniform, manageable bits. Cheese graters come in various sizes and styles, allowing for different textures, from coarse to fine shreds. They make food preparation quicker and easier, especially when adding toppings or incorporating ingredients into recipes.
