If you've ever bought a block of parmesan instead of the flakes or dust varieties that you can buy pre-grated in the shops, then you probably know how much of a pain it is to grate it yourself.
For starters, you need a cheese grater with different grating methods if you want to achieve the fine dust-like parmesan, and then there's the mess it makes when the block crumbles in your hands.
Not to mention the pain of accidentally grating your fingertips in the process.
