Product Information

For tried-and-true cheese lovers, there’s no question freshly grated cheese trumps the bagged kind any day. While you can always just grab a bag of shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese from the dairy aisle, learning how to shred cheese with a cheese grater will save you money and cut out the preservatives that are added to prevent pre-shredded cheese from clumping. Hold the lemon with a dry hand and rub it along the grating surfaces of all your zesters and graters. If you are taking away hard skin while your feet are dry, then it is recommended that you use an electronic foot file. As for the file itself, it should always be kept dry or it will lose its abrasiveness.

Place a cutting board with a saucer or deep dish on top of it to keep tiny shreds and slices of cheese from flying away and creating a mess.Well, now you can have both with the Foot Cheese Grater. This unique kitchen gadget is shaped like a foot, and it even has a little toe that serves as the grater. Just rub your favorite cheese against the grater and enjoy the fresh, delicious scent of grated cheese. Your grater should be sharp enough to cut through cheese or veggies without much resistance. Sharpness also matters when it comes to things like zesting—if the grater is dull, it’s likely to dig into the bitter citrus pith instead of scrape the delicate, aromatic outside. Erin K.

First, you soak your foot in warm and soapy water for about five minutes or until the skin becomes soft. After you wet the pumice stone, you rub it on the still damp callus with light to medium pressure for about two or three minutes. You can use the stone daily but remember to rinse the stone after every use. This is the model I’ve got. It’s battery powered and charges over USB. It has removable heads so you can choose coarser or finer grits. Most importantly, it can grind through a tough callus in minutes instead of requiring umpteen after-bath sessions with a file. A rotary grater is barrel-shaped with blades guarded by a shield to keep your fingers safe. You’ll typically see them table-side at restaurants so servers can offer freshly grated cheese to top pasta dishes. They are also used as attachments for small electric appliances. To use a rotary grater, insert the food into the hopper and close the lid. Hold down the lid with one hand and turn the crank with the other hand. Cheese aficionados swear by rotary graters and often keep them stored in the refrigerator pre-loaded with cheese. Box graters get points here because the different sides usually have different sizes of holes. Rasp graters also get points for their ease of use and ability to take on miscellaneous but incredibly useful jobs, like zesting a bit of ginger. Electric or rotary models can often prep ingredients like veggies, nuts, and more. Most food processors come with a grating plate, plus there are optional attachments for appliances like KitchenAids. These make grating cheese and chopping vegetables incredibly easy, with no fear of accidentally grating your own skin. It's worth noting they are not always effective for small amounts of cheese, though, and if you don’t already have a food processor, it’s probably not worth getting one just for this purpose.

Why you need a callus file

If you do accidentally scrape off too much skin, don’t panic. Apply a soothing moisturizer or balm to the affected area to help relieve any pain and promote healing. Be careful when using a foot file or pumice stone. Don’t press too hard or scrub too vigorously, as this can cause damage to the delicate skin on your feet. A flat grater is the most affordable, but it’s less versatile because it typically only has one hole size. It can be held by hand vertically or horizontally over a cutting board, bowl, or dish, which cuts down on the amount of mess. Plus, it is easy to wash. Make sure to use a light touch and avoid pressing too hard, as this can cause discomfort or injury.
