Kitchen Tools

A box grater (also called a large grater) is a very useful and budget friendly tool that is perfect for hand shredding and grinding your ingredients. It can be used for cheeses, vegetables, chocolate, fruit and more.

If your budget allows, you can also purchase a kitchen mixer or food processor with grating and shredding attachments (read more here) which will be great for processing larger quantities. Even though I own both of them, I always like my box grater for its convenient size, easy cleaning, and because it does not need to be assembled.
