How does an grater work? - Answers

A grater works by using a surface covered with sharp-edged holes or blades that shred food into smaller pieces as it is rubbed against the grating surface. When you slide food, such as cheese or vegetables, over the grater, the sharp edges cut and break down the food into fine shreds or slices. The size and shape of the holes determine the texture of the grated food. Graters come in various styles, including box graters and handheld graters, for different food preparation needs.
