Did you know there was a wrong way to use a grater?

For many of us, when it comes to cooking, more cheese is always better.

A TikTok creator has taught us all the right way to do it.

It turns out that holding the block and the grater in the air above the counter is incorrect.

Simply hold the cheese steady on the counter, and run the grater along the side.

"I was today years old when I learned how to use a handheld cheese grater," she says, before demonstrating the right way.

The correct way is apparently a lot quicker and gives a stable grip on both cheese and the grater.

The video has hundreds of thousands of likes.

Another answered: “Now that I know this… I’m like… how was this not obvious?”

One said: “I should have known… Lol”.

“So I’ve been cutting my finger knees all these years for NO REASON?!” - with "finger knees" now being our new favourite phrase.

Someone else commented: “Excuse me no this was not obvious. Why have we never done this before!?!? Mind blown haha”.

Another argued: And they have the audacity to not put instructions with these. I feel bamboozled”.

Recently, we also found out there's a correct order to eat a cheeseboard in.
