On the TikTok platform, a home cook shared the latest kitchen hack that’s taking social media by storm—using a cheese grater for more than just cheese.
TikTok video by user @jeffandlaurenshow demonstrates how you can use a cheese grater as an herb trimmer.
The video has the caption: "This hack uses a cheese grater to destem cilantro!"
In the footag, @jeffandlaurenshow inserts herb stems into the grater's holes and pulls them through to effortlessly separate the leaves from the stems.
User @jeffandlaurenshow wasseen Simply insert the herb stems into the cheese grater, pull them through, and watch as the leaves separate cleanly while the stems slide through the grater's holes.
However, a cheese grate could apply for Versatility with Various Herbs
This kitchen hack isn’t limited to one type of herb. It works wonders for parsley, cilantro, basil, oregano, mint, and even herbs with smaller leaves like thyme or rosemary—just use the appropriate hole size on the grater.
In the comments section, many expressed their shock about this hack. While others admitted they were unaware of this trick, some expressed admiration for this incredible hack.
One person said: I hope they are not throwing away the stems… As all the flavour of the coriander is in the stems.
A second wrote: and it only takes 45 minutes to thread each stem through the individual holes! amazing!
While a third commented: no one wondering how they got the coriander in the grater in the first place??
Someone else said; I would be so much easier to chop it up! And who what's to exclude the stems. Boo hiss!
Another added: We remove the leaves of the parsley we grow so that we can dry them from for future use. But instead of pulling the leaves off that way, flip the grater and brush them off.
This cheese grater herb hack isn’t the first to go viral. Previously, a TikTok video featuring @foodies showcased a surprising use for the plastic pull tab on oil bottle lids.
By reinserting the tab after opening, it acts as a control mechanism for pouring oil, offering precision and reducing spills during cooking.
In the footage, Tiktoker was seen reinserting the plastic pull tab into an oil bottle lid, which helps control the flow of oil, making it easier to measure and preventing accidental spills in the kitchen.
