I've read that US boxed soft cheeses are in containers t hat are glued as opposed to nailed/stapled as in Europe.
If you pop a New World brie into the oven in its box, the glue melts and the cheese escapes.

You are usually planing a small curved object and only a small area is in contact, so a thin grater makes sense as most of the area of a large grater is wasted.

The times for cure penetration probably apply for un-curing too.
IIRC salt penetrates meat at about 1/2 cm/day...or maybe its a cm/day....whichever...it would be quick for a deli slice and quite a while for a chunk.
