Most people only use their grater for cheese, but this kitchen tool is actually much more versatile than you think. Here are five unexpected ways to put this multi-purpose tool to some good use in your kitchen.
Grating Veggies
Grater can be used on all sorts of different veggies. If you’re making a dish that calls for shredded potatoes, carrots, or zucchini, the grater will get the job done.
Grating Butter
Recipes for some baked goods, such as pie crust, call for thin butter slices, and you can easily make them with your cheese grater.
Chocolate Shavings
Chocolate shavings can be used as either decoration or an add-in in your desserts, and it’s pretty easy to make them with a cheese grater.
Lemon Zest
If you’re making a dessert that calls for lemon zest or any other citrus zest, a cheese grater is the only tool you need to get it done.
Making Breadcrumbs
Buying breadcrumbs is usually a waste of money because you can easily make them with stale bread. The easiest way to do it is to use the coarse side of your grater to grate an old loaf of bread and transform it into tasty breadcrumbs.
