Grating Without a Grater
If you don’t have a grater, you can still grate food items such as cheese, chocolate, coconut, and vegetables using other kitchen tools. For example, you can use a cheese slicer to make thin slices of cheese, or use a mandoline to quickly shred vegetables. You can also use a box grater if you don’t have a handheld grater. If you don’t have any of these tools, you can use kitchen scissors or a food processor to grate food items.
For more information about grating without a grater, check out the following articles from Wikipedia, The Spruce Eats, and The Spruce Eats – Alternative Ways to Grate Food.
