Different graters can be used according to the type of cheese you are grating and the size of shreds required. Use cheese straight from the refrigerator for best results.

Fine shreds A rotary grater (see box) makes light work of fine grating. Simply put the cheese in the hopper and turn the handle.

Coarse shreds An upright grater creates thick shreds that hold up in a salad, or melt evenly.

Parmesan Use a special small Parmesan grater to grate this very hard cheese into tiny shreds.
