How to sharpen a grater so that it grinds food well: you will need a cup

A grater is one of the most essential kitchen tools that can become blunt over time. An unprepared surface requires more effort and chopped food sticks to the metal. It turns out that there is an easy way to quickly sharpen a grater without any special devices.

The popular life hack was tested by the famous Ukrainian chef Anatolii Dobrovolskyi (dobrovolskyichef) on his TikTok page. For this method, you will need an ordinary ceramic mug.

You will need:

• a kitchen grater that needs to be sharpened
• a ceramic mug with an untreated (rough) bottom

How to sharpen a slicer correctly:

1. Turn the cup upside down so that the rough surface is on top.

2. Take the grater and smoothly slide the cutting edges along the rough bottom of the cup.

3. Repeat this motion several times for each side of the grater.

4. After sharpening, try grating a small amount of vegetables. If the product grates easily, the life hack has worked.

A few important nuances:

1. Perform the procedure carefully to avoid cutting yourself.

2. Use a whole cup without cracks to avoid damaging the grater.

3. If the effect is not enough, try repeating the process.
