Brilio.net - A cheese grater is one of the kitchen tools that is useful in preparing various dishes. This tool is designed to change the shape of whole cheese into fine shavings that can be used to add flavor and texture to various foods, from pasta to salad. With a cheese grater, cooking becomes practical and the results of cooking are more attractive and delicious.
However, the use and maintenance of a cheese grater requires special attention so that this tool continues to function properly. This is because there is a major challenge in using a cheese grater, namely keeping the grater sharp and free from cheese residue that sticks. Cheese, especially soft cheese, can leave residue that is difficult to clean and has the potential to become a nest for bacteria if not cleaned immediately.
In addition, careless use can cause the grater to become blunt faster or even damaged. If it is already blunt, many people then choose to throw it away, because they think that the cheese grater is no longer suitable for use. In fact, there is a trick that can be done to overcome this. With this trick, even a blunt grater can be sharpened again to be sharp and easy to use.

Not with sandpaper, there is a kitchen tool that can be relied on to sharpen a cheese grater, as shown by Instagram user @tinissn_ through one of the videos uploaded. In his upload, he admitted that the kitchen tool in question was a ceramic glass. As reported by Briliofood on Tuesday (10/9), the part of the glass used to sharpen the grater is the bottom or bottom of the glass.
How to use it, prepare one ceramic glass, then place the glass on the table upside down. After that, rub the blade of the grater on the bottom of the glass with a backward groove. This process will make the blade on the grater sharper because it continues to rub against the sharp ceramic glass.

Well, this sharpened cheese grater can be reused. But don't forget to rinse and dry it first so that the residue from the ceramic glass that sticks can fall off. Only then is the cheese grater ready to be used easily because the blade is sharper.

In addition to sharpening the grater regularly, it is important to pay attention to how to care for this kitchen tool so that it remains durable and hygienic. Cleaning the cheese grater after each use is the first step that must be taken.
Then soaking the grater in warm water with a little dish soap can help loosen the cheese residue, making it easier to clean with a small brush or sponge. Also, storing the grater in a dry place that is safe from impact can help maintain its sharpness.
