can I shave cheese with this

Probably could, I have never done cheese with this disc. I have always used my grater disc for doing my grated cheese. Worth a try though. You can't go wrong with any of the Cuisinart discs.

Not sure...I would think so? I haven't used it for that, but it seems like a logical use for it. Just don't use too much pressure, or it will stress out the attachment points.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I have used it for vegetables like potatoes making them nice and thin but haven't used it for cheese. I do think it would work especially if the cheese is hard.

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.

no, I have not. The two-blade system makes me think it might clog up when cutting cheese. I use it for breads and cooked cuts of meat.

I tried to slice cheese a couple of ways ... Neither worked so unless someone else knows a trick I'm thinking the answer is no. That is not to say that I don't like my Mansoline ... I love it!

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

I made jerky when I purchased the unit and it sliced right through the meat no problem. I would think it would do the same with cheese.

I have never attempted to use the slicing blades for cheese. I do shred a lot of hard cheeses (cheddar,parmesan, asiago, etc.) with the shredding disc and that works great. I wouldn't recommend tryingto slice cheese with a slicing disc. The high speed of the disc would probably begin melting the cheesejust enough to gum up the disc. If you choose to give it a shot anyway just be sure to use hard cheesesonly (like the ones cited above) and definitely NOT mozzarella or Velveeta. Hope this helps out.

You can probably cut anything you like with it, however, it is ideal for cheese.

I haven't tried it out on cheese. I have used it on zucchini, apples, and sweet potatoes so far. It has worked great on those items.

I would think that you could as it does grate very hard cheeses without any problem.

Have never tried -only use it for cheese - but I wouldn't think it would work - not strong enough/proper blade.

Absolutely. The largest holes are about 1/4 inch. Good for normal grated cheese but not big enough for the "shaved" type.

Yes you can. I made cheddar cheese biscuits with it. Little bit of a warning it will be too orange.

I use mine to shread bar soap, so I think hard cheeses would be fine. The handle turns very smoothly and easily, as well; very good grater.

Yes you can, but it does not perform well as a shaver no matter what you do or do not use.

I'm sure you can....however I returned mine after it started smoking after 5 minutes of slicing a hard block of cheese...if you buy this one save the box it comes in.

If you puree it and strain the pulp it should work fine. Just need to make sure you wash the shaver well after using it. There are no recipes in the book. But have seen a couple of suggestions searching on line.
