Graters
A grater is a kitchen tool used to shred or grate food into smaller pieces. It typically has a flat surface with sharp-edged holes of various sizes, allowing users to create fine or coarse shreds. Common foods grated include cheese, vegetables, and citrus zest. Graters can be made from metal, plastic, or ceramic materials.
There are different types of graters, such as box graters, handheld graters, and microplane graters. Each type serves specific purposes, with box graters often featuring multiple sides for different grating styles. Graters are essential for enhancing flavors and textures in various dishes.
