It’s amazing how inefficiently we do many of life’s mundane tasks.
For those of us who like to make our own – getting a pack of ready-Grated Cheese is a bit of a cop out – it can be a messy and potentially dangerous exercise. You stand the grater upright and rub a hunk of cheese down the serrated edges. Not only does the grated cheese go everywhere but you run the risk of grating your fingers, particularly when the block has all but disappeared.
But, I read this week, there is a better, safer and more efficient method of grating your cheese.
What you do is lie the grater on its side and scrape the block of cheese in a horizontal direction. Not only does all the grated cheese collect inside the grater, or so I’m told, but you have more control over the block and are less likely to add some unintended ingredients like skin and a seasoning of blood to the mix.
Makes sense. Why haven’t I thought of it before?
