Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hi Marissa, I use a fine rasp (I think it's a woodworking tool!) to grate my parmigiano reggiano ($18 per lb!) and it works fabulously. I got it at a specialty hardware store here in Canada. (Lee Valley) Sue (From Pickering) Mom to , 4.5, formerly?

Marissa there are little cylindrical grinders for shedding cheese and your fingers are protected. They have a manual handle that you rotate. I found several models here: Look under shredders and graters. You'll have to get past the pepper mills to find the vheese graters. http://www.zyliss.com/ Carol F. Celiac Adult SCD 2 3/4 years.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hi Marissa, If grating a lot I put it through my food processor using the fine blade. If I only need a little I use the hand held grater. I think Elaine has said in the past that she buys pregrated parmesan locally. I have seen some local grated stuff in the Deli section of my grocery store (refrigerated) that says 100% parmesan no fillers etc. Sheila UC, 20 years -- in remission after 39 mos SCD mom of SCD 24 mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
