People Are Shocked When They Found Out What The Fourth Side of A Grater Is For
By MSN
By now, there is a myriad of kitchen gadgets that can fulfil very specific kitchen needs. Indeed, with most new kitchen gadgets, normal people might have difficulty to figure out what they are exactly used for. Then there are certain classic kitchen equipments which are almost universally used and are very familiar to most of you, but turns out that we might not even know how they should be used.
According to Washington Post, the largest side of the cheese grater is for different cheese or even produce such as grated apples or potatoes for cakes or fritters.
The smaller shredding hole is to finely shred cheese like parmesan to be used as toppings etc. This can also be used to shred toasted bread into breadcrumbs.
The slicing hole is to be used to slice vegetables and fruits or even cheese into thin curls.
Finally, just as some Redditors suggested, the fourth side of the cheese grater is used to grate seasonings like citrus zest, garlic, nutmeg and hardened brown sugar into a fine and easily-dissolvable consistency.
