The Animal House Mouse Cheese Grater Boston Warehouse

In general, I'm against keeping mice in my kitchen, but I'm happy to make an exception for the Animal House Mouse Cheese Grater. This grater uses the shape of the mouse to provide an ergonomic grip on the grater that will protect your fingers, and it doubles as a bowl where all the cheese you grate collects. The grater is removable so that you can access the cheese and even use the mouse as a serving bowl. The Mouse Cheese Grater comes with a plastic lid, so that you can use the mouse to store your extra grated cheese. The grater is stainless steel, while the mouse's body is high-density plastic with a textured grip. The mouse is available in a variety of bright colors and has wonderful details, like a curly tail etched in the plastic and silver eyes, that make it look just a bit more like a mouse.

The Animal House Mouse Cheese Grater simplifies cleanup, keeping your grated cheese in one place. The grater measures 5.5 inches long. It's part of the Animal House line of kitchen gadgets, which also includes a Parakeet Garlic Press and a Piranha Pizza Cutter. The Mouse Cheese Grater is priced at $9.99.
