How do you grate your cheese? According to this video, your method is probably wrong.In 2018, Twitter user @beasymss shared a screen recording of an Instagram video along with the caption, "Ok, I was today years old when I found out THIS is how a cheese grater is used !? I feel a fool "The tweet has since received over 59,000 likes, which suggests Bea wasn't the only one who hadn't used a cheese grater this way. Most of us probably use a cheese grater by holding it vertically rather than horizontally, as shown in the video. By laying the grater on the side and grating the cheese horizontally, the cheese collects inside the grater and it can then be tipped onto a plate or into a pan, which is much less messy than grating vertically.That said, some people pointed out that cheese graters can vary, with some having a rubber grip at the bottom so you can hold it vertically and some not even having four sides at all, instead opting for a single grater.
