Brilio.net - There are indeed many automatic coconut graters sold on the market. However, manual coconut graters are still the mainstay of many housewives for cooking. However, coconut graters often break, get damaged, or rust quickly.
This was also experienced by TikTok account user @panggilsajasutis. The man who is familiarly called Sutis found that his mother's coconut grater was very rusty and unusable. Instead of buying a new grater, he chose to make his own at home.

Sutis explained that he only prepared simple tools to make his own coconut grater. After investigating, it turns out that one of the tools can be found in the kitchen. So, you don't need a lot of capital to make a coconut grater.

Well, the tools you need are wood, nails, and used cans. Yup, these cans are kitchen tools that are no longer used as the main capital for making grated coconut. The owner of the TikTok account @panggilsajasutis uses used cans of sweetened condensed milk. Cut and remove the top and bottom of the can first.

Next, cut one side of the can so that it can be stretched straight. Then, the edge of the can can be bent slowly. Then, pierce the surface of the can with a nail so that it can be used to grate coconut.
"Hello friends, to make holes, you can use nails of any size, friends, of course according to your needs. What I made is for fine grating, friends," explained Sutis, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @panggilsajasutis on Sunday (11/8).

After the can is transformed into a grater, assemble the edges with pieces of wood according to taste. To make it more sturdy, the wooden edges of the grater can be connected with nails. Sutis also added polished wood as the handle of the grater, so that the texture is soft when held.
