Despite using the cheese grater regularly, it turns out many people are only just learning how to master the kitchen utensil properly – and they’re completely mind-blown
You might want to rethink everything you thought you knew, because it turns out people have been grating cheese wrong their whole lives.
The cheese grater, also known as a shredder, is a genius kitchen utensil that most foodies will use on a regular basis. But most people will position the cheese grater upright, right?
Most people won’t have realised this but they’ve been doing it wrong their entire adult lives. There’s actually a much easier way to use your cheese grater – and it’s incredibly simple. Just turn it on its side.
TikTok user Alice, who is known on the platform as @aliceinbravoland, recently admitted she was “43 years old” when she learned how to grate cheese this way. In a recent video on the platform, Alice filmed herself as she tried laying the cheese grater on its side.
By doing it this way, the cheese still ends up inside the grater, so you don’t need to have an extra plate under. And you can transport it in the shredder, and dump it wherever you need.
Alice added: “I guess I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time. I’m 43 years old and I’m just learning that you lay the cheese grater on the side. They say that it’s easier to transport. It is!”
In the caption of the video, Alice added: “Did you know this? I’m easily impressed so maybe this is no big deal, but I’m blown away.” It turns out Alice wasn’t alone, as the video has now been seen over 4.6million times, and over 1,940 people commented on it.
One person wrote: “Okay this was clever, but teach me how to wash that damn grater without hurting myself.” Another added: “Wow, you lady have made my life much happier. I thank you lol, I’ve been spraying it all over the counter and floor my whole life.” A third commented: “Just found that out, thanks.”
