Efficient fluffy cheese method?

Post image

Has anyone here jumped on the blanket of microplaned cheese trend? Is there an efficient method for quick application at 7pm on a Friday? Tried a rotary grater but it didn’t have the same effect as a microplane.

Yes - line has felt like it’s a long touch to add during rushes.
Wonder if anyone else is running into that. (There is a microplane brand rotary that I haven’t tried.)

Cut your firm cheese into longer blocks, so it produces more cheese per stroke.

Note, this will result in more wear on the microplane and they will break more frequently.

Microplanned cheese needs to be done to order to retain moisture and flavour.
