ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for grating or shredding cheese or like foodstuff, or for storing it in a ready-to-grate or -shred condition. A container is provided within which cheese, or like foodstuff, is mounted or stored on a spring-loaded plate, being captured at the container open end with a grating cap having raised blades on its internal surface in contact with the cheese or like foodstuff, which grate or shred the foodstuff when the grating cap is rotated versus the container, and having holes and perforations through its thickness from which the grated foodstuff exits. The cross section of the container cavity is non-circular and is defined by a multiplicity of contiguous container internal sidewalls, at least one of which is planar. The cross sections of the mounting plate and cheese, or like foodstuff, conform to the container cavity cross section, immobilizing the cheese, or like foodstuff, rotationally with respect to the container. The cheese, or like foodstuff, is grated or shredded when the grating cap is rotated relative to the container with sufficient force so as to overcome the foodstuff's shearing resistance. A sealing cap is provided optionally to seal-in the freshness of the cheese, or like foodstuff, when stored in the apparatus of the present invention.
