The secret trick to cleaning your cheese grater

<p>Cheese graters are fantastically versatile little devices, but they can be impossible to clean. Fortunately, we have the answer. Forget scrubbing with a sponge or dislodging cheese with a fork, the secret to removing built-up cheese is actually a pastry brush!</p> <p>To remove clingy cheese, all you need to do is run the bristles of a dry pastry brush along the grater repeatedly. This works best if the cheese is dry, but if you need it cleaned urgently or if you’ve used it on a stickier food like garlic, simply give the grater a soak before attempting the dry pastry brush trick.</p> <p>If you don’t have a pastry brush handy, Carolyn Forte of the <a href="http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/cleaning/a39667/cheese-grater-cleaning-trick/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Good Housekeeping Institute</span></strong></a> Cleaning Lab says, “you can also use a stiffer brush, like a dish or vegetable scrubbing brush.”</p> <p>Too easy!
