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.

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.

There's a trick to using box graters that most people don't know (I certainly didn't until recently)

  • Lay a towel or some parchment paper in a sheet pan (optional)
  • Lay the grater on the pan
  • With your non dominant hand, hold the handle of the grater and the rim of the sheet pan
  • With your dominant hand, grate, pushing away from you + into the countertop

The mechanics of pushing down/away are much better than holding the thing upright, dangling it over a bowl or whatever. Easy to just push with your palm too (and keep your fingers out of the way).
