They're an absolute nightmare to wash, though.
... Are they? I've never had issues cleaning them at all.
It's not as easy as regular dishes, but not that terribly difficult either
I have one of those dish scrubbing brushes with a handle from dollar tree, and it makes cleaning things like this very easy
Definitely worth buying one of those
Sponge Ruiner is what I call them.
"Now I have little pieces of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips!"
Just throw it into dishwasher. I won't dull the blades too much
Ah yes, that dishwasher I have in my miniscule apartment.
Woah, I don't have one in my huge mansion. You're so fortunate
Give me the money to buy a dishwasher and I will
And even if it does. All the cheeses that exist are way softer than steel anyway.
If not, something's gone seriously wrong somewhere in the process..
Not my titanium cheese alloy
I have a tiny kitchen, there's not enough space for one 🤷
Just buy a new one each time no need to clean then
You just scrub in the opposite direction....
Now some of the other grating faces on some models that stick straight out are more of a challenge.
You don't say..
Abandon all hope, sponges who enter here
Let it soak for 20 mins
Eh, really not bad if you hit it immediately.
I've never had issues cleaning them. They aren't super easy to clean but I came up with a method that works well for me.
Put it in a pot, add dishsoap, then pour boiling water in it and let it soak for a bit. Seems a bit weird and extreme but it gets majority of the cheese off of it. There's also a technique involving lemon and salt to clean them. Oh and if one has a dishwasher that works very well too, but I know many people don't have them (I practically don't, since the one here doesn't work).
