Over time, even the most beautiful grater can lose its edge, and the gentleman wanted to replace it with a new one, without suspecting that the instrument can be renewed at home.

Below we present a simple and effective method that will allow you to sharpen a grater in just a few blades, without the need for special tools.

For this you need a special sheet.

If you don’t have a roll of aluminum foil for baking, you can use the leftover foil to package chocolate and other edible products.

1. Prepare the aluminum foil  . Make a large bag, about the size of a pea.

2. Sharpen the grater.  Take a grater and carefully clean the surface with aluminum foil, concentrating on the edges that rub most frequently.

3. Reverse the process.  After a few passes of this type, turn it over until the grater heats up. Repeat the procedure as needed.

Helpful tips:

Clean before sharpening. Before sharpening, rub the grater well and dry it.

This will allow the accumulation of any excess residue that may interfere with the sharpening process to disappear.

Working at the top. To make sharpening easier, use a flat surface to avoid scratching the grater.

Forget about being dull.

To ensure the grater is no longer hot, make sure to thoroughly clean the skin after removing excess oil and don’t forget about it.

This method will help you save money on buying a new grater and extend the life of your favorite kitchen tool.

With such a simple trick, you’ll always have a grater under the Lord’s hand to prepare your favorite herbs!
