Q. What is a kitchen grater?

Answer

A grater, or shredder, is a kitchen tool for reducing the size of ingredients through fine slicing. The grating slots on many various types of graters come in a wide range of sizes, making them useful for processing a wide range of ingredients. Cheese, citrus peel (for zest), and other soft foods are typical targets for this kitchen tool. Toasted cheese, Welsh rarebit, egg salad, and any dish involving cheese sauce (macaroni and cheese, cauliflower cheese, etc.) all benefit from their use.
