kaasupainike
Kaasupainike, also known as cheese grater, is a kitchen utensil designed for grating cheese. It consists of a handle and a grater mechanism, which can be either manual or electric. The manual version typically features a series of parallel wires or holes, while the electric version often uses a rotating disc with similar features. The primary function of a kaasupainike is to efficiently shred or grate cheese, making it easier to mix into dishes such as pasta, soups, and sauces. It is commonly used in both home and professional kitchens. The design of a kaasupainike can vary, with some models offering adjustable settings for different types of cheese and desired consistency. Maintenance involves cleaning the grater mechanism to remove cheese residue and ensuring the handle is secure.
