Cheese is one of the most popular and versatile dairy products for various dishes. Starting from heavy meals, savory snacks, to refreshing drinks can be made with the addition of cheese. In addition to taste, cheese can also add nutrition to dishes, you know.
In many recipes, the cheese often needs to be grated before using. This grating process makes the cheese easier to sprinkle or mix into dishes. Grated cheese can be spread evenly, ensuring every bite contains the perfect amount of cheese flavor. Additionally, shredded cheese also melts more quickly when heated, making it ideal for use in dishes such as pizza, pasta and gratins.
When grating cheese for home cooking, most people usually use a small stainless steel grater . This grater can be practical to use because it is lightweight. However, one of the challenges when using a cheese grater is when cleaning it.
Basically, cleaning a cheese grater requires caution. If carelessly, it is very likely that your hands will be scratched by the sharp holes of the grater. In addition, using less cleaning tools, such as sponges, can also damage the sponge.
Many people then use a special brush or even an old toothbrush to clean the grater. However, if you don't have an old toothbrush at home, you can use another trick that is more practical to clean the cheese grater. This trick was once shared by Instagram user @tinissn_.
Through one of the uploaded videos, the netizen claimed to have a simple trick to clean the cheese grater so that the stains are easily removed without brushing. Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @tinissn_ on Friday (6/9), the trick involves one kitchen ingredient, namely cooking oil. So, this cooking oil will be used to clean the cheese grater.
Well, another way to prevent rust is to make sure the grater is completely dry before storing it. Use a clean towel to dry the grater thoroughly. Pay attention to hard-to-reach areas, such as the blades and joints. You can also let the grater air dry while placing it on a dish drying rack. Storing it in a humid environment can speed up the rusting process, so make sure the grater is completely dry. Also, store the cheese grater in a dry, non-humid place. Place the grater in a drawer or cupboard that has good air circulation. You can also store the grater in an airtight container or plastic bag to protect it from moisture.
