As the title states… We’re Italian and the price of grated Parmesan is about twice what a block of cheese costs so we’re looking for an easy way to great Parmesan. What works for you? ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | ||

Microplane...accept no substitutes. Another connoisseur of fine parm (If it ain't 48 months, it ain't going on my plate kind of guy). Imported only.

Yep. Microplane. Great for citrus zest, hard cheeses, garlic, etc. | |||

when I’m lazy, I do Ina Garten’s catering trick. Cut it in smallish chunks and put it in the food processor with the metal blade. Pulse/run until finely ground. Fine for a lot of uses. | |||

I have the crank type from the cooking stuff company that does home sales events. It's great. Looked it up, Pampered Chef.

Standard box grater you probably already have in your cupboard. I grate parm a couple times, or more, every week with one. | |||

Microplane and imported Parm and imported Romano, nothing else compares. | |||

I'm partial to the wider blade Microplane. Easier to grate through a large block of cheese. And yes, Parmesan Reggiano ONLY, 24-36months aged...I always keep a wedge available since its versatile flavor for adding salt and nuttiness for a dish. | |||

Any old flat micro plane grater does a perfect job. Just grate what you need as you go. “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
This one time, at Costco..... in lieu of a grater, this is a pretty good option.. Excellent quality, just twist the top and go! Link Review | |||

Good call. I thought they wouldn't work grate (ha!) for cheese, but for hard cheese like Parm the microplane works amazing. You can crank out a mountain of it in no time. Only downside is it will be very fine, pillowy, and will definitely melt and handle accordingly. If you need something a little more coarse you can use normal box/flat grater. The pre-grated stuff is noticeably different, to us at least. Not in a good way. {not Italian, but sleep with one regularly} You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||
