Make an Impromptu Cheese Grater Out of a Soda Can


If you’re in need of some shredded cheese, but you don’t have a cheese grater, a soda can will work in a pinch.

This video from youtuber Shake the Future demonstrates a clever method for turning a soda can into an impromptu cheese grater. Carefully remove the top of the can with a can opener or knife, then poke several small holes in one side of the can. Pry open each of the holes so a little bit of the aluminum sticks out and can cut into the cheese. Once you have it all ready, rub your cheese block along the side of the can and you’ll have freshly grated cheese.
