A housewife can use the same grater for years, considering this kitchen tool to be eternal.
But sooner or later the moment may come when it becomes clear that the device has become worse at coping with its “duties”.
For example, instead of beautiful cheese shavings, the result was a mass consisting of uneven pieces.
Or the following situation may arise: chopping vegetables and boiled eggs has become too time-consuming.
Why does this happen? Most likely, the grater has become dull.
What to do in such a situation? Definitely don't buy a new tool!
It is quite possible to restore the grater to working order. To do this, it needs to be sharpened.
Fortunately, you won't have to use any special devices for this. You won't have to put in any special effort either. Any housewife can achieve the desired result.
How to sharpen a grater
The most ordinary ceramic mug will come to the rescue. It needs to be turned over.
As a result, a "circle" will become visible - the edge of the ceramic. It is along this that you need to "go over" with a grater. This should be done so that the edges of the drop-shaped holes begin to sharpen.
You won't have to work for long: the grater will become quite sharp very quickly.
Earlier we explained why you would glue a toothpick to a kitchen knife.
