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.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] TheBlue22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Woah, I don't have one in my huge mansion. You're so fortunate

[–] Zekas@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Give me the money to buy a dishwasher and I will

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I have a tiny kitchen, there's not enough space for one 🤷

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And even if it does. All the cheeses that exist are way softer than steel anyway.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

If not, something's gone seriously wrong somewhere in the process..

[–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Not my titanium cheese alloy

Just buy a new one each time no need to clean then

[–] Strykker@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] RinseDrizzle@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Eh, really not bad if you hit it immediately.

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).

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 13 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] 1993_toyota_camry@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You put your dick into it didn't you?

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Evia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why, what've you been using them for?

[–] Valkyronix@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

so have you ever heard of raccoons

[–] Sir_Simon_Spamalot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Making music videos?

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

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

[–] 56_@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just chop the cheese into small bits. One less thing to wash, and pretty much just as fast.

[–] DrMango@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (3 children)

To wash:

1 chopper

VS.

1 grater

🤔

[–] yetiftw@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

don't forget the cutting board!

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years 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 2 points 2 years 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.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago

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.
