Food processors often don’t produce the even shred that we desire for salads, or toppings or whatever. Sometimes you just have to grate by hand, which can be a tricky endeavor once you get down to the food stubs…no one wants grated fingertips in their food! This is what you do: Go to a sewing-supplies store, and get thimbles that fit the specific fingers that are in jeopardy each time you use your grater (usually your thumb, index and middle fingers). With the thimbles in place, you will be able to grate faster and more completely—no more leftover stubs of potato, carrot or cheese! After you finish grating, you can go grab an antique washboard and start your own band.
