Grating Cheese? Is it possible to grate cheese with this appliance?

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.

I tried it, it makes a mess but it will grate it. As much as I love this cheese grater, with mozzarella, you're better off using an old fashioned flat hand grater.

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.

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.

I haven't tried it with mozzarella, but I have tried it with some slightly soft cheeses, and it did fine. I would suppose that if you had the mozzarella very cold so that it is as firm as possible, it would grate OK on this grater.

I have really had good luck with mine. I tried to grate all my "Italian" type cheeses like this. Hope it works out well for you.

Soft cheese presents more of a challenge. If I could give it a star rating for grating soft cheese, I'd give 3.5 out of 5 stars. Depending on the quantity of cheese, you may need to manually clear the drum. Sharp cheddar is easy. Mozzarella is more challenging. Still worth it. It grates a 2 pound block in seconds.

Yes, not bad, but I'd make sure the cheese was firm and cold. You would need to use the large-hole grater. This gadget works well, cleans easily, holds a good sized piece of cheese but the handle is a little awkward.

I love this gadget for cheese, chocolate, butter; and it works great with hard cheeses if you want to remove a rind. You can do thicker slices of any cheese-even feta or cubes but not for thin slices.

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

Yes, I use mine for cheese making. I have used them with gas and electric they work great. Also I use them as double broilers.

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. It does NOT include graters. Only a mixer and chopper. Due to its construction, e.g., actuating handle on top, it would be virtually impossible to feed veggies, cheese, etc., and use a grating/slicing blade. I prefer a hand held grater for hash browns; a mandolin for potato, onion, tomato, etc., slices; and a micro-plane or wire guillotine for cheeses, but those are personal preferences.

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'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.
