grates
Shreds the cheese
Grates covers both the noun and verb.
A grate is a framework of metal bars—in a fireplace holding burning fuel, or over a drain or window.
To grate is to reduce something to shreds by rubbing against a rough surface: grated cheese, grated ginger.
The other verb grate means to irritate or annoy: His voice grates on me.
A harsh sound grates; so does an unpleasant personality.
