Why do experienced housewives lubricate the grater?

A familiar situation for many is when processed cheese, warm boiled potatoes and other products stick to the grater. This not only interferes with work, but also greatly complicates further cleaning.
To prevent anything from sticking to the grater, you need to lubricate it with odorless vegetable oil. This is convenient to do with a silicone brush. Oil is applied from above and from the inside. When grating processed cheese on a greased grater, it will not stick together into a lump. Be sure to try this advice in action. Applying the oil will take half a minute, but will make it much easier to grate the ingredients onto your salads.
