Clever parmesan cheese hack means you don't need to use grater ever again
A woman has shared a video of her simple hack for grating Parmesan cheese at home - and you'll never need to use a cheese grater again
When you dine out, a sprinkle of finely shredded parmesan cheese might be offered with your meal, a touch fancier than the usual grated cheese we're accustomed to at home.
Yet, a clever woman has revealed a nifty trick that allows you to master the art of creating perfectly grated Parmesan cheese in the comfort of your own kitchen, and it's surprisingly simple. Ehmeelyah, known on social media as @ehmeelyah89, has let slip that you don't even need a traditional cheese grater.
In her viral video, which has racked up over 4,000 views, she penned: "Let's make grated cheese without the grater!" Her method involves chopping the cheese into small cubes before tossing them into a blender.
She explains that blending turns the cheese into a fine, powdery consistency, although she warns: "You'll have to run it a few times because the blades may get stuck on the cheese. I usually use the pulse setting so I can control it."
The savvy TikToker then showcased how she achieved this culinary feat, subsequently storing her freshly shredded cheese in a Tupperware container. She triumphantly declared, "Voila! Perfectly grated cheese ready to top any dish."

In her post's caption, she boasted: "This cheese hack will give you perfectly grated cheese without the muscle work of actually grating."
The ingenious clip left TikTok users astounded, prompting an outpouring of praise in the comments section. One impressed viewer commented: "Thank you sis."
It comes after a food storage expert revealed that people have been storing their cheese wrong. It can be frustrating to throw out a block of cheese if it has gone crusty or hard, especially since it can be one of the most expensive products on a shopping list.

Cheese will lose moisture when exposed to air and cold temperatures, which is why it will quickly become flavourless if someone opens up the packaging and forgets to cover it.
One popular storage hack is to wrap cheese in clingfilm to keep it fresh but this will likely not work as it will trap moisture and result in the cheese becoming mouldy.
Cheese needs air to keep fresh, so wrapping it up tightly can not only cause mould but cause discolouration, a slimy texture or even make it taste like plastic.
