You know the graters with four sides, well...

[Tinker]

...what is the horrible looks like it would rip your knuckles off side for?

its for parmesan isn't it?

this in a really interesting thread

yawwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

we have a 3 sided grater and a separate one specifically for parmesan cheese for the table

parmesan also good when sliced in big curls using the slicey side ( o I do use it for something after all)

and I have a mouli type parmesan grater

Well, you flippin well showed dw, T.

and I have 3 x 4 sided graters because they were always in the dishwasher when I needed them when I only had 2

gosh I have a facinating life

terribly old fashioned things if you ask me...i have a grater box with different lids [proud puffed up emoticon] and i still dont know what that lid is for.

Find box grater awkward to handle. Sometimes do parmesan with a hand held peeler.

This is an interesting thread!

i find the proper graters hard to work, cheese box as we call it is much easier, it has a none slip base.....oh my, im sad......leaving the thread.

perhaps it's for removing cellulite? wil try later and let you know how i get on!

No don't Horace! The skin and dried blood get stick in the sticky-outy bits and they're a bugger to clean off.

should have listened to you, suejonez. spent last night poking bits of skin out with knitting needle. Lovely slim thighs though.

Ah well, all's well that ends well then. Worth if if you now have lovely slim thighs.

You could have just run it through the diswasher, though, horace. I find that that gets out skin and dried blood a treat.

don't you get a build up in the drains? Would soda crystals shift it?

Just slop down some of the sulphuric acid you use for dissolving dead bod... err... for general household tasks. That'll shift it.

thats not very eco-friendly

[hopefully] but it's fair-traded organic sulphuric acid... [well, I suppose actually it's chemically inorganic because it's sulphuric acid, after all. Do you think an organic acid would be better?]

Hmmm, just trying to remember my A level chemistry and how sulpuric acid is produced. But it may decay into Sulphur/water based compounds so on balance probably OK. The laundry threads seem to swear by soda crystals for everything else though so wondered if it would work on flesh and blood...
