People now lattice A new hack that will save you tons of time in the kitchen.
A TikTok video shows that the cheese grater can be used for more than just cheese.
User @jeffandlaurenshow shared how he uses a cheese grater instead of an herb trimmer to save space in his cluttered kitchen drawers.
Here's how to use it: Insert the stem of an herb into the holes of a cheese grater and pull the stem out. With a pulling motion, the herb will easily peel off the stem and the remaining stem will fall through the holes of the grater.
This easy kitchen hack works for all kinds of herbs, including parsley, coriander, basil, oregano, mint, and even smaller-leafed herbs like thyme and rosemary. Make sure you use the small holes of your grater.
However, it's best to keep herbs fresh by leaving the stems on, so try not to separate the herbs from the stems until you're ready to use them.
“The cilantro hack changed me,” someone commented on the TikTok video.
“The coriander one is revolutionary!” exclaimed another.
“To think he's been doing this for 40 years…no way!” one person wrote.
