Graters coated with cheese residue can be a difficult to clean, and the dishwasher doesn't always do the job. Try rubbing a dry, stale crust of bread that's hardened a bit, such as the end of a baguette, over the grater. That should remove most of the mess. To finish the job, scrub the grater in hot, soapy water. This also works well with my mezzaluna knife, always tough to clean on the inside of the double blades.

Has anyone heard about the Yakima School District annexation of the Union Gap School District?
