I have a metal box grater that has some rust on it. Can it still be used and if so, how can I clean the rust off of it?

Fine steel wool is pretty good at removing rust from metal. To avoid rust in the future, don't leave it sitting in water, and wash it as soon as you are finished using it, be sure to dry it well. Then if your oven is hot or warm, place it in there a few minutes so any water can evaporate.
This always happens to mine too. I finally got tired of replacing them and use my food processor. They make plastic ones.
Maryeileen, try using "Barkeepers" cleanser. Just be real careful not to grate your fingers. I have yet to see one of those metal graters NOT rust.
Good Luck. GG Vi
