Graters for mozzarella cheese
Feb 9th, 2008 by Susan
You can buy the grated mozzarella cheese in the store, but it may cost more that way. You are better off grating your own. There are many kinds of graters. The most common kind is called a “stand-up” grater. The stand-up grater is inexpensive and easy to use. For grating mozzarella cheese, use the side with the large round holes. Simply rub the cheese firmly down over the cutting edges - but watch your fingers! The very fine side is good for grating things like Parmesan cheese into very fine pieces. The side with medium-size holes cuts things into small shavings (such as grated orange or lemon rind). The side with the large slits is good for shredding things - such as cabbage for coleslaw or lettuce for tacos.
