Box Grater or The Microplane? No images? Click here The Best Way to Grate Cheese for Pasta Need finely grated cheese for pasta? We look at how much using a Microplane or a box grater matters when it comes to mass, taste, aroma, and making a good sauce. Do your own testing! Oxo's box grater is a lot sharper than many of the box graters we've used before. Its fine teeth aren't quite as speedy as a Microplane, but they're not nearly as terrible as those dull, old punch-out rasps we've long ago given up on. In our test, the Microplane rained down fluffy tufts of finely shaven cheese, and it did it so effortlessly. Even better, half the cheese didn't remain glued to the grater, never to be recovered.
