can you use the spaetzle to grate cheese or any other things? I was wondering if there are any other uses for it, like grating cheese?

No, the holes aren't raised in any way, so it won't really cut the cheese. I suppose if you put, say, a corner of the cheese on it, some of it might be grated, but they're quite big holes and it most definitely wouldn't be useful as a cheese grater.

There are two smaller graters/scrapers on this boxed grater. I use one as a small cheese grater and the other I have never used. It might be best used for a nutmeg scraper. So I have two lemon/orange zesters. One looks like a longish metal file with small cutting lips in it which works very well. The other is another small hand grater which I use for larger zest pieces. I do love my OXO grater and do not have a Cuisinart grater.

I haven't used it for grating, but I don't think it would be good for that. Our Quisinart machine has a grater blade. The blades on the Oster would chop it up, but would probably produce uneven size pieces.

Yes. I use it to shred cheese all the time! The harder the cheese, the easier it is, so soft cheeses like Mozzarella, I usually freeze the cheese a bit first.

I actually did not try it for anything else, when it did not grate the cheese (which is the main reason I bought it) I tossed it in the garbage bin. The other problem I had was there were too many parts to clean after use.

This grater does pretty well on soft cheese and I do grate mozzarella on it. A light coating of olive oil in advance can help. I really like this grater..............!

I do enjoy using this cheese grater. It is one of the easiest to clean and shred. I would recommend this product.

I have honestly not tried to grate nuts yet, but I don't see why it would not do fine. It has 4 very sturdy cones for slicing and grating, and they are dishwasher-proof. I usually just chop nuts in a little chopper. If you grate cheese though, this is the best grater ever. I have vats of nice fluffy cheese now ready at all times.

Yes, I just used this to grate parmesean reggio cheese and it busted the plastic part that holds up the grating blade. The entire unit is ruined as I am afraid to use it to chop or shred as the plastic housing is now fractured and broken off.

I don't use it for cheese. I chop meat for hamburger which it does moderately well except for leaving some big chunks which then need to be picked out and re-processed.

it might give your cream cheese a different flavor. i use it for cheese curds. if you try it and dont like it you can always make a more solid cheese with it. good luck

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.

sounds like a question for the vendor. I just know I find mine to be useful for many things like cheese and chocolate, I bought extra to share with friends

I think that you can use it for hard cheese, but I think it is not a best stuff for this. I use it for carrots and this is really good.

Yes, it can be used to grate Parmsesan. However, it will be very finely grated. If you need more than a sprinkle of cheese, you'd be better off with a larger surface grater that has a larger size grater slot.

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

there are two attachments. one finely grates and the other is for coarser grating. this would also work great on chunks of chocolate. the possibilities are endless! I am thinking of getting these for Christmas presents for my peeps.
