An epochal decision that could have a massive impact on the human race.

I can comfortably state that the thread title isn't an over exaggeration, if anything I've under sold it.

At lunchtime today I grated the cheese from the left hand side narrow grater, rather than the accepted front.
After 40+ years of front end grateation, I took the leap and will now never look back.

The amount of cheese wasted through front end grating must be cow loads.

Liberate your grater, save cheese, less cowage, reduce methane production, save the planet.

How does grating cheese waste ANY of it? It's ALL still there!

There speaks a narrowing minded front grater, (condescending tone) 'I used to be just like you, you poor boy'.

Less cheese but same cheesy goodness.

I know.

Generations to come will sing songs about this thread.

I often pine after the cheese graters of yesteryear.

We used to have a grater such as this one. Grating cheese has never been the same since it's demise. :down:

We use to have one like this when I was living at home, the good old days! They need to make a comeback!

@Stat Brother I shall give this a go tonight and report back... currently, I'm quite comfortable sitting on the fence.

Sitting on a cheese grater fence, don't slide off.

I had a similar epiphany when I first used a pyramid grater

The additional stability improved my technique to no end

How do you know which side is the front?

The bit that's on the front of yours is on the side of mine

Paul Reids Sock · May 31, 2013

I doubt life will ever be the same again.

My son is going through a phase if wanting cheese on everything, sandwiches, pasta, beans, potatoes the lot.

This will not only save me a hell of a lot of money but make me an all round better person - thank you so so much.

Now that I will be able to afford a house I will name it after you and we shall sing songs of your name around the camp fires

The Ikea ones with the tub attached to the bottom are ingenious.

I can vouch that this is a "gouda" idea.

Grate thread, use it caerphilly though.

Easy 10 · May 31, 2013

I'm still not altogether clear on how grating the bigger flakes on the front equates to more wastage, compared with grating the cheese to a finer pulp from the rear resulting in less wastage. Half a pound of grated cheese is half a pound of grated cheese, regardless of the dimension of the shreddage.

I'm not dismissing the concept, but before I go changing my cheesegrating technique at the drop of a hat, a technique honed over many years to take into account courseness, age, size of cheese, not to mention crumble-factor, I need to see some clearly defined advantages and long term benefits.

No no this is a serious thread saving cheese, and destroying the lazy front graters.

I must be thick, because i haven't the faintest idea what you are trying to say/explain. Those are 2 different graters.

I will be publishing my doctorate on the subject, but I'll try and explain it for the layman.

Big heavy strips of grater expectorant require more cheese to provide an obvious cheese filling.
The LEFT HAND SIDE (it's very important we get this correct people) expectorant is finer cheese threads so provides bulkier cheeseness without the weight.
