Okay that's fine then, you can just buy a block of cheese and grate it yourself. There are these things called cheese gradters which exist for that very purpose.
You can even, get this, use them to slice the cheese thinly using the slicing part of them.
I know wild right.
They're an absolute nightmare to wash, though.
... Are they? I've never had issues cleaning them at all.
It's not as easy as regular dishes, but not that terribly difficult either
I have one of those dish scrubbing brushes with a handle from dollar tree, and it makes cleaning things like this very easy
Definitely worth buying one of those
Sponge Ruiner is what I call them.
"Now I have little pieces of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips!"
Just throw it into dishwasher. I won't dull the blades too much
Ah yes, that dishwasher I have in my miniscule apartment.
Woah, I don't have one in my huge mansion. You're so fortunate
And even if it does. All the cheeses that exist are way softer than steel anyway.
If not, something's gone seriously wrong somewhere in the process..
Not my titanium cheese alloy
I have a tiny kitchen, there's not enough space for one π€·
Just buy a new one each time no need to clean then
You just scrub in the opposite direction....
Now some of the other grating faces on some models that stick straight out are more of a challenge.
You don't say..
Abandon all hope, sponges who enter here
Eh, really not bad if you hit it immediately.
Let it soak for 20 mins
Let it soak for 20 mins
I've never had issues cleaning them. They aren't super easy to clean but I came up with a method that works well for me.
Put it in a pot, add dishsoap, then pour boiling water in it and let it soak for a bit. Seems a bit weird and extreme but it gets majority of the cheese off of it. There's also a technique involving lemon and salt to clean them. Oh and if one has a dishwasher that works very well too, but I know many people don't have them (I practically don't, since the one here doesn't work).
Wait a second, these are made for grating cheese? And that's their main purpose?
You put your dick into it didn't you?
It'd be easier to list the things I haven't put my dick into uwu
Yes. Though it doesnβt have to be cheese. Carrot will grate just as well.
Why, what've you been using them for?
so have you ever heard of raccoons
I don't think you're supposed to shred your raccoon.
No, not the whole raccoon
edit: actually, I think Fender is a "ferrox" (ferret + fox), but my point still stands
Making music videos?
Highly recommend getting a hand grater like the ones they use to shred Parmesan cheese in restaurants. Doesn't work well with soft cheese but it's great for things like old cheddar
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)
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).
I just chop the cheese into small bits. One less thing to wash, and pretty much just as fast.
To wash:
1 chopper
VS.
1 grater
π€
don't forget the cutting board!
You ever try to hand wash a grater? It's not impossible but I'll take a chopper to wash any day of the week.
I usually chop other stuff as well as the cheese. I started doing this when I didn't have a grater, and discovered it wasn't as slow/awkward as I had assumed. The result isn't the same as grating, but it does the job most of the time.
