Brilio.net - Knives are a kitchen tool that is often used in the cooking process. How could it not be, knives are used to cut and slice various cooking ingredients to be processed. To produce perfect cuts, of course you need a sharp knife. Especially when cutting fibrous and tough cooking ingredients such as beef .

Using a sharp knife can also make the cooking process more effective and efficient. Unfortunately, with use, the knife can become dull. One of the causes is using an inappropriate cutting mat or cutting board. A cutting mat with a hard texture will make the blade duller if used continuously.

Knowing this, a number of people deliberately sharpen their knives with a whetstone. To do this, first soak the sharpening stone in water for a few minutes. Once done, place the sharpening stone on a hard surface such as a table. Then hold the knife at an angle and rub the blade against the surface of the stone. After rubbing it for a while, the blade became sharp again. That way, you can make maximum use of the knife.

But don't just use a sharpening stone, it turns out there are other methods that can be practiced when you want to sharpen a dull knife. A mother from TikTok user @heryantiahmady showed how in one of her videos. As seen in the video upload, this netizen replaced the sharpening stone with a simple tool he had at home. Curious about how?

How to make a dull knife sharp again.

Reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @heryantiahmady on Saturday (11/5), one simple tool used is a plate. However, make sure the plates you use are ceramic and in clean condition. Therefore, wash and dry the plate first before using it to sharpen the knife.

To apply, place the plate upside down on the table. Once done, rub the blade of the knife against the bottom of the ceramic plate. Usually, the bottom of a ceramic plate has a hard texture, making it similar to a sharpening stone.

"Do this several times until the knife is ready to use," explained the account owner.

An easy way to collect broken ceramic plate shards.

Collecting broken ceramic plate shards can be a dangerous job because of the sharp pieces. However, here is a safe and effective way to collect them:

1. Use gloves.

Before touching the shards, be sure to wear puncture-resistant gloves or rubber gloves to protect your hands from sharp pieces.

2. Prepare the sweeper and dust collector.

Use a sweeper and dust collector, or a plastic broom, to collect large fragments. This will help avoid injury from touching sharp pieces directly.

3. Flashlight or flashing light.

Use a flashlight or flashlight to highlight the area around the shard. A brighter light will help you see any shards that may be hidden in creases or under furniture.

4. Be careful when collecting.

Pick up the fragments carefully, avoid touching sharp parts. Place successful fragments in a strong, secure container such as a heavy plastic bag or strong cardboard box.

5. Check and clean.

After collecting all the large fragments, check the area carefully to make sure there are no small pieces left behind. Use a damp cloth or squeegee to clean the area and collect any small pieces you may have missed.

6. Dispose of safely.

Dispose of collected ceramic plate fragments safely. Make sure to wrap it well in newspaper or wrapping paper before putting it in the trash to avoid injuring other people handling the trash.

By following these steps, you can safely collect ceramic plate shards and reduce the risk of injury.
