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

Just throw it into dishwasher. I won't dull the blades too much

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah yes, that dishwasher I have in my miniscule apartment.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Woah, I don't have one in my huge mansion. You're so fortunate

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Give me the money to buy a dishwasher and I will

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And even if it does. All the cheeses that exist are way softer than steel anyway.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

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 🤷

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Just buy a new one each time no need to clean then

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Eh, really not bad if you hit it immediately.

Let it soak for 20 mins

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).
