1. When I wanted to grate a bit of Romano onto my salad, I used to get out the metal, paddle grater. Pain to wash. I found that a plastic, curved citrus tool, courtesy of Tupperware, has sharp teeth and a few swipes over the cheese does the trick. Wipes clean in a trice. I think Tupperware gave em as a freebie, to be used to section and eat grapefruit.

2. My metal ice cream scoop does a good job of removing kiwi* from its skin. Cut the kiwi in half, lengthwise and scoop away. Quick and much easier than trying to pare away that peel.

*Who remembers when kiwis first became available - back in the seventies, as I recall, and about 89 cents a piece. So, SOME prices have come down. I'm gettin' 'em 2 for 99.

Much easier, and virtually no waste:

Yep, that's perfect! Too bad I don't have any reason to peel kiwi
fruit. It's nice tasting fruit but those tiny seeds are verboten.

There's a plan. I used to hate peeling those for fruit salads at a
restaurant I worked at, and they're nasty on any small dings you might have
on your hands. Burn like Hell.

That's how we always do it, ever since someone here posted that
method. Dead quick and easy.

If I only need a tiny bit of cheese, I either use my tiny box grater (PITA
to wash but it is small) or a vegetable peeler if I don't mind larger
pieces.

I HATE dealing with kiwi. Will have to see if I have that type of ice cream
scoop. I used to but I think I got rid of it. Not sure my other one would
work. It is metal and it has sort of a long tooth type thing sticking out
of it. Works well for ice cream though!
