People are just discovering this nifty kitchen hack with a cheese grater: ‘Game changer’

People are just discovering a grate new hack that will save so much time in the kitchen.

A video on TikTok is showing people that the cheese grater can be used for more than just cheese.

User @jeffandlaurenshow revealed how you can skip over the herb trimmer and instead use a cheese grater, allowing you to save space in your cluttered kitchen drawers.

Here’s how it works: Stick the stems of the herbs in the holes of the cheese grater, pull the stems through, and the pulling motion will easily rip the herbs from the stem and the leftover stem will slot through the grater hole.

The easy kitchen hack works for all kinds of herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, basil, oregano and mint. It will even work for herbs with smaller leaves, like thyme or rosemary — just be sure to use the smaller holes on the grater.

However, be sure not to detach the herbs from the stems until you’re ready to use them, since the best way to keep them fresh is to keep them on the stem.

“The cilantro hack has CHANGED ME,” someone commented on the TikTok video.

“The cilantro one is a game changer!!!” another exclaimed.

“YOUR TELLING ME FOR 40 YEARS I COULD’VE BEEN DOING THIS?..HA NO WAY!” one wrote.
