Are you kidding me? Why do you need a mini grater with a height of 7 cm?

I once walked and wandered around the department of household goods in a supermarket. You know, that case when everything seems to be there, but something is definitely missing. And then I saw it... a tiny grater, 7 cm high. At first I thought it was a toy. But no, the blades are sharp, and the device itself is quite durable - it doesn’t look like a child’s room at all. Either out of stupidity, or out of curiosity, I still put this mini-miracle in the trash. And, as it turned out already at home, the little thing is quite practical in everyday life, and I did not regret making such an impulsive purchase, even if it was only for 42 rubles.

What can a mini grater be useful for?

So, it has three working sides with blades, and on the fourth there is a magnet, which allows you to hang it, for example, on a refrigerator, railing, stove lid - it will always be at hand.

The small size was not invented by chance. Usually, when I’m cooking something and I need to grate cheese, chocolate, garlic, it’s not very convenient to do this with a large grater, although it’s already customary - everything scatters in different directions, and food consumption increases significantly. This is especially noticeable when I want to grate a little ginger directly into the cup, and most of the ginger puree goes by.

So what can you use a mini grater for? Great for garlic, ginger, nuts, chocolate. It will also become a favorite accessory for little girls who always dream of helping their mother in the kitchen. In addition, the size allows you to rub the product exactly where you need it. For example, it’s convenient to grate cheese onto small pieces of meat when I cook it with pineapples.Only a small part of the cheese gets past, the rest is placed directly on the piece of tenderloin.

Yes, I already wrote above that I always use a mini-grater when I want to add ginger or cinnamon to tea. Also ideal for nuts or zest on ice cream.

And it’s also much more convenient for me to grate garlic on it than to press it with a press. Moreover, it is easier to wash.

In general, I found a lot of tasks for her, and so far she has coped with them all with a bang. By the way, one of my friends bought a mini grater to rub soap into her bath water. Also an interesting idea, but I haven’t tested it myself. Perhaps for some this will seem like useful advice.
