Brilio.net - Turmeric is a popular spice that is often used in food processing. This spice has a bright yellow color and a distinctive aroma that can increase appetite. Its presence in cooking not only provides a unique taste, but also provides an attractive touch of color to the dish.
The intense yellow color of turmeric is notoriously difficult to remove, especially when it comes into contact with surfaces of hands or kitchen utensils. One kitchen utensil that is often stained with turmeric is the grater, which is commonly used to grind the spice. After use, the grater will turn yellow and emit a sharp, pungent aroma.
If the yellow stain on the grater is left without being cleaned immediately, it will harden and turn into a crust that is difficult to remove. The usual washing method using dish soap is not effective enough to remove the stain. The difficulty of cleaning makes some people choose a shortcut by throwing away the grater and buying a new one.
Well, if you experience a similar incident, don't rush to throw it away. It turns out there is a practical way to clean a grater full of turmeric crust.
This method is demonstrated by YouTube user @umimaull2890. In one of her videos, this netizen shares a tutorial on removing turmeric crust on her grater. At the beginning of the video, she also shows the appearance of her grater which looks yellow.

To clean it, pour enough liquid bleach into the container. Add water and stir until evenly distributed.

Once the cleaning fluid is ready, dip an old toothbrush and scrub the entire surface of the grater. Do it slowly and thoroughly, okay?

As a result, without the need for extra effort, the turmeric crust is slowly eroded. After investigating, as reported by thespruce.com, the sodium hypochlorite content in clothes bleach can eliminate bacteria, fungi, crust, and even viruses.
Finally, rinse the grater with running water. Make sure the entire surface of the grater is completely clean and free from the bleach.

This way, the initially yellowed grater becomes clean and shiny again. If it's like this, you don't need to buy a new grater, right?
