Are you saying you have have a box or plane grater? Of course there are
restaurant-style tumbler graters with changeable metal grates. Much
easier. It doesn't have to be Pampered Chef brand. Google and you'll
find any number of hand crank cheese graters that will work without
turning good Parmesan into dust. (I'm not one to buy electric gizmos
for something that can be done so easily.)
