How to Easily Grate Cheese

Food prices are on the rise, and an easy way to cut down grocery bills is to buy block cheese instead of pre-shredded cheese. A sixteen-ounce block of cheese cost roughly as much as an eight-ounce bag of shredded cheese. Grating your own cheese is an easy way to save money.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cheese
• Cheese Grater
• Container to store cheese in

1. Freeze cheese for thirty minutes before grating. The cheese will become more solid and less likely to crumble as you grate.

2. Spray your cheese grater with non-stick cooking spray. This will help when you clean the grater.

3. Place your grater over the container that you will store your cheese in.

4. Gently run cheese down grater. Repeat until you have the desired amount of cheese.

Tips & Warnings

• Graters are sharp; watch out for your fingers and hands.
• Always wash hands before working with food.
