Purpose of Shredder

Several types of graters have different sizes of grating chutes so they can help prepare a variety of foods. They are commonly used to grate cheese and lemon or orange zest (to create enthusiasm), but can also be used for other castor-soft foods. They are commonly used in the preparation of grilled cheese, Welsh cheese, egg salad, as well as containing vegetable cheese sauces, such as macaroni and cheese and cauliflower cheese.

In Slavic cuisine, graters are commonly used to grate potatoes to prepare dishes including draniki, bramborak, or potato babka.

In tropical countries, graters are also used to grate coconut meat. In the Indian subcontinent, the grater is used to make GajarKaHalwa, a popular dessert.

Shredders produce pieces that are thinner at the end than in the center. This allows the ground material to be melted or cooked in a different way than the almost uniformly thick pieces produced by the grinding blades of a food processor. For example, hand-grated potatoes melt more easily in potato pancakes than food-processed shredded potatoes.
