Foodie shares the ‘right’ way to grate cheese but people are left divided over her method

A FOOD fan has shared a different method for grating cheese but it's left people divided.

When using a box greater you probably stand it up and grate down, but according to one foodie there's a better way.

Her trick is to lay the box grater on it's side and grate your cheese sideways instead.

"All my life I've been grating cheese like this," she said on Instagram, showing the up and down method.

"But apparently this is the right way? So much easier and it gathers in the middle of the grater so it's easier to transport your cheese," she continued, showing the other method.

Although some people agreed the sideways method is much easier, others insisted it's totally wrong.

So, which way do you use your box grater?

One person commented on the Instagram clip: "This is complete waste of time."

And a second said: "Tell me you don't cook often without telling me you don't cook often."

"Just because it's easier doesn't mean it's the right way," another slammed.

Meanwhile, others thought the handle on the grater was a big clue as to which way round it should go.

"The handle is literally on the top so that's the right way," one person commented.

But others loved the hack and couldn't wait to try it out for themselves.

"No because this looks better to me, grating cheese hurts my arms lol," one said.

"I already knew this! So much easier on your wrists," someone else agreed.

"I like this idea, honestly," another wrote.
