I shred cheese and it works great. I put the block cheese in the freezer for about 10 minutes and it shreds easier. You can save a little money by doing this rather than buying the pre-shredded packages.

No! The torque causes the spindle to get stuck to the drive shaft. I had to eventually break the bowl to release it. See my review under "Doesn't cut the cheese".

I like the ceramic pot for cheese...the oil heat is too hot for most cheese...you don't want it to stick to bottom...Refer to your instructions again, I'm not home so I can ck mine...this is my preference.....PF

I haven't tried it, but that type of cheese is very soft, so I think it might not work well. If you try putting it in the freezer first, that may work.

You know, I'd never tried this before until your question but I happened to have a wedge of hard Parmesan cheese in the refrigerator. I took it out and very easily sliced 4-5 slices off the end that ranged between 1/8" and 1/4" thick depending on how much pressure I put on the cheese pushing it through and how thick I set the adjustment for the slicing range. Thanks for the question! Now you have an answer to your question, and I have more options in cheese to put on the grilled sandwiches that I make! I just made one yesterday slicing apples crossways to go with provolone, sliced Vidala onions, green peppers and Dijon on rustic bread with home grown herbs. Yum!

I have used it to slice very hard cheese, but soft cheese will not work. The grater blade works well to grate all types of cheese.

The only issue I have is with the cheese. Metal ones with a sharper edge seem to work better, otherwise they are great!

I would think it would be difficult. It requires a lot of force and the coordination to squeeze the pusher and spin the grating wheel at the same time. As for the force I broke off the handle of one of the grating wheels grating cheddar. I was very disappointed.

Sorry, but I haven't tried to. It's a subtle point, but even though this product can grind some items, it's a "blender" not a "grinder." There are other products more well-suited to grinding as a result of a more focused design. I realize we all want to have as few appliances as possible cluttering up our counter-tops; but quite often, in attempting to create one product that does everything, it requires a compromise in its ability to do each of the individual tasks well. And then, the only thing it does well is being one all-purpose appliance. However, as a blender, it's excellent! My only complaint is that it's noisy under certain conditions; but it's ability to blend is so good that it outweighs the inconvenience of a little noise for a few moments.

I have never tried with soft cheese. It is awesome for hard cheese like cheddar or gouda. It slices it like butter.

It really depend on how hard the cheese is. I have been able to cut cheddar and Swiss but Parmesan I think would be difficult.

No. The instructions say this processor cannot be used to grate cheese or grind coffee.

I haven't tried that. I use my Cuisinart mixer shredder attachment for that. I wouldn't think the Breville would give you the result of nice shredded cheese. It is a blender afterall. And excellent for any and all blending.

Dan,can't say I ever did a grilled cheese.I have ;however did a pizza and that turned out fine. Steaming vegetables never attempted. The oven is a nice touch to have in the kitchen.

When I bought the Zyliss Classic Rotary Cheese Grater, the information given said that it was good for grating hard cheeses, chocolate and nuts. As for grating soap, I suppose it could work as long as the soap is hard enough. Other than that, I don't know.

No it doesn't. We mostly just grate cheese and haven't had that issue. We absolutely love this grater!

Absolutely you can smoke cheese. You have to use only the smoke generator as described in this article. http://www.north-america.bradleysmoker.com/recipe/smoked-cheddar-cheese/ Just Google for "smoking cheese in the Bradly's smoker" I love my smoker and I know you will as well! Hope this helps.

I have not tried cheese (yet) - but I'm sure you will Not have a problem. It is a nice machine. Frozen meat was a breeze, as was Lonza.
