From the Cupboard: Grater

     Happy October everyone! : ) A brand new month for more brand new ideas! This month is really a good month for me because I have lots of plans and I want all of those plans to work and happen accordingly. How about you, what are your plans for this month? Probably early Christmas shopping? 

Inventor: Francois Boullier, 1540's
Francois thought of inventing the Grater because some types of cheese are very hard to slice even with a sharp knife. Usually the Grater is made up of steel with different slot sizes so that you can choose how you want the cheese to be. Though Graters are used often to grate cheese, we can also use other food to produce gratings. There are different types of Graters, and the basic ones are:

Hand Grater - are hand-held Graters that you move the cheese or any food across manually to create gratings. They are usually flat and the slot size is only one.

Flat Heavy Duty Grater - are bigger than the hand-held ones. This is for bigger and heavier foods.

All Purpose Grater - these are in a form of a box or triangle with a handle and each side has a different slot size and shape. 

Multi-Purpose Grater - like the All Purpose Grater, they have different slot shape and sizes but have removable plates due to more artistic slot shapes.

Speciality Graters - these are Graters that are made for zesting nuts and fruits.
