Graters are kitchen utensils used to grate food into slices, strips, or powders. They come in various shapes and sizes, including four-sided graters, cheese graters, and automatic graters. They can be used for vegetables, spices, and even citrus zest.
A grater is a kitchen utensil that is used to grate food into slices, strips or powders. Most graters consist of a rectangular metal plate in which openings have been opened. At the bottom of the opening, the metal is usually sharpened to make reticle as simple as possible.
Many kitchen supply stores carry four-sided graters that are shaped like a cow bell. Each side of the grater has different sized and shaped holes to allow for different types of grate thicknesses. These graters are quite ergonomic. They typically have a handle on top that the cook can grip while using one side of the grater. The grater that can produce the best yield of ingredients is the tamis, which is pronounced just like the female name “Tammy.” Indeed, a tamis can be used both as a strainer and as a grater.
There are many types of cheese graters. This is because cheese can vary widely in both texture and texture. Very hard cheeses, such as pecorino romano, are often grated with a grater with many small holes. This produces very fine pieces of cheese, almost a powder. Larger openings can be used to create slices or strips of soft cheeses such as cheddar or gouda. Because it is so popular to grate cheese onto pasta, a hand crank has been developed that grates the table side of the cheese. It is common for Italian restaurants to use these types of graters.
The same types of graters that can be used to make very fine powder from cheese can be used to create zest from citrus peel. Indeed, graters are very useful in preparing vegetables. Carrot peelers are, in fact, simply a kind of manual grater. Although they are referred to as “carrot peelers,” they can be used to peel or make long strips of almost any type of vegetable. These types of graters can also be used to grate spices, such as nutmeg. Although nutmeg is widely available in its powdered form, most chefs agree that freshly grated nutmeg is preferable in most recipes. However, the actual nut is quite hard and must be grated with a multi-hole grater which produces the necessary fine powder.
Since grating can be quite a daunting task, there are a number of kitchenware companies that offer automatic graters. Automatic graters can quickly cut vegetables, cheeses and meats into slices of different thicknesses. They can also grate herbs, spices, and hard cheeses into finely chopped chunks or even powders.
