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.

Wait a second, these are made for grating cheese? And that's their main purpose?

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You put your dick into it didn't you?

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 3 points 9 months ago

It'd be easier to list the things I haven't put my dick into uwu

Yes. Though it doesn’t have to be cheese. Carrot will grate just as well.

Why, what've you been using them for?

[–] Valkyronix@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

so have you ever heard of raccoons

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think you're supposed to shred your raccoon.

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

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.

[–] ozebb@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

There's a trick to using box graters that most people don't know (I certainly didn't until recently)

Lay a towel or some parchment paper in a sheet pan (optional)
Lay the grater on the pan
With your non dominant hand, hold the handle of the grater and the rim of the sheet pan
With your dominant hand, grate, pushing away from you + into the countertop

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.

[–] DrMango@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (3 children)

To wash:

1 chopper

VS.

1 grater

🤔

[–] yetiftw@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

don't forget the cutting board!

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

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.

[–] 56_@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

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.

They're an absolute nightmare to wash, though.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

... Are they? I've never had issues cleaning them at all.

[–] SailorMoss@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Sponge Ruiner is what I call them.

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 9 months ago

It's not as easy as regular dishes, but not that terribly difficult either

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just throw it into dishwasher. I won't dull the blades too much

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

Ah yes, that dishwasher I have in my miniscule apartment.
