Grating Cheese is in the Bag

When I shred a block of cheese, I place the base of my box grater inside a rolled-down gallon-size plastic bag. When I've finished grating the entire block, I just pull out the grater, unroll the bag, seal it and store my freshly grated cheese in the refrigerator. There's no mess. —Coleen Deon, Dover Plains, New York
