A grater is a useful item, but unfortunately it does not last forever.
Often housewives who have discovered that their “working tool” has become dull cannot think of anything better than to buy a new grater, throwing the old one into the trash.
There is another category of cooks who take care of a brand new grater, store it in special conditions and take special care of it. But, as practice shows, the mass of efforts undertaken can only extend the life of kitchen utensils for a short time.
If you don’t want to bother with the maintenance of a grater, but wouldn’t mind saving money on buying a new one, you should join the third category of housewives who have mastered the skill of returning the “accessory” to its former sharpness.
It turns out that to make a grater sharp again, all you need to do is rub it with foil.
You must admit that even a first-grade student can handle such a task, because all you need to do is run a sheet of foil over the dull side of the grater several times.
The aluminum sheet will refresh the cutting edges of the holes and remove the crushed residues - often these are what reduce the efficiency of the tool.
As a result, the grater you buy will remain in good condition for a long time.
For reference
A household grater is a kitchen tool for chopping (grating) food products: vegetables, cheese, and others.
