Sharpening a knife with toothpaste<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Scissors, all knives and other sharp objects that we use in the kitchen become dull over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, you can buy a variety of sharpening tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you don\u2019t have them, you can use improvised means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparing the knife:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the knife blade and spread it evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The paste contains abrasive substances that will help make sharpening more effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Take a ceramic plate or cup with a rough bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Place a teaspoon of coarse salt on the bottom and pour in some vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The paste on the knife will dry a little, and you can start sharpening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to sharpen scissors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Using foil:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tear off a small piece of aluminum foil and fold it several times (I folded the foil 4 times).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Make cuts on the foil with scissors.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After such sharpening, the scissors will easily cut even a soft napkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

How to sharpen a grater<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Foil:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tear off a piece of foil and crumple it into a ball.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Rub the grater carefully with this foil. Be careful not to hurt yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n

After this, the grater will become sharp again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place frozen eggshells in a blender.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Grind it up.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
