Brilio.net - A knife is one of the main kitchen tools used to cut various cooking ingredients, from meat, vegetables, to spices. In order for the knife to remain durable and can be used continuously, it is important to take good care of it, including sharpening it regularly so that it does not become blunt.
It is not always necessary to use a knife sharpener, there is another trick that can be tried to sharpen the knife, namely by using a mug. Almost every house has at least one or two mugs, and these glasses can be used to sharpen the knife to make it sharp again.
This trick was shared by one of the netizens on TikTok. Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @psnovi, Monday (11/18), prepare a knife and a mug. This time, this trick is demonstrated using a meat knife.
Position the mug upside down. Usually, the edge of the bottom of the mug tends to be rough and its surface is similar to a knife sharpening stone. Well, this is the part that can then be used for sharpening.

Simply rub the blade on the edge of the mug several times. Rub at a 40-50 degree angle so that the blade is really sharp. When sharpening, be careful not to let the blade touch your hand. Keep rubbing until the blade feels sharp.
In addition to using a mug glass, you can also use a mug bowl with the same material. Mug bowls usually have a wider bottom. So it is very suitable for sharpening wide knives.

He also gave an example of sharpening a knife with a mug bowl. Not much different from using a mug glass, namely simply rubbing the blade on the bottom of the bowl until it is perfectly sharp.
"The knife is really sharp, it can be used to cut meat," said TikTok @psnovi.

This trick can also be applied to scissors that are already blunt. Just scratch the blade of the scissors on the bottom of the mug or bowl. Or you can also scratch it on the inside of the mug. This trick can help the blade or scissors become sharp again.
