To shred or cut down a food into fine pieces by rubbing it against a rough surface. I grate cheese a lot for my lasagna. It is cheaper to grade the cheese yourself than to buy it already grated. A grater is a piece of standard kitchen equipment. It is usually metal either flat or in a hollow square shape. I have the square design. Each side of the grater has different surfaces for grating different things. The smaller the holes in the grater the smaller your food will come out. I usually use the next to the largest size for grating cheese. Hold the cheese, carrot or other food firmly in hand. Start at the top of the grater, sliding the food firmly against the grater in a downward motion. Check on the other side of the holes to see how it worked. If there isn't anything there, you either need to press harder or use a side with larger holes. Check how much space is between your finger tips and the grater surface periodically. Adjust your grip on the food accordingly. I usually stop grating when I get the food down to about a 1 inch square.
