Could I use this for cheddar cheese directly over a salad--would the grate size to be like regular prepackaged grated cheese, not fine prepackaged?

It would be the regular grated cheese. I'm not sure how well the blades would do with cheese - they could get clogged. Worth a try though.

I don't really think so for a large quantity. Its great for smaller things like zesting limes and lemons also garlic and ginger. Ive never used it for cheeses.

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

I have only used it for Feta cheese. I would think it would be all right as my Feta cheese is creamy.

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.

I haven't tried blue cheese dressing, but I think the opening might be too small for the chunks of cheese. I use my mostly for vinaigrette type dressings and put the thicker dressings in a small bowl with a spoon to serve them.

Yes, i have done cheese but very last piece of chs is about 1/4" thick. Ok for crackers

I've never tried that, but I am guessing that if you put your bowls in the oven to bake the cheese on top you would find them too HOT to handle.

I'd say no. The more you need to force it, the more dangerous. And, it just not designed for hard cheese. I'd use a good knife.

The spice grater would be the one you want for a nugget of nutmeg. The grates are smaller & sharp enough to finely grate nutmeg, ginsing etc. This larger one is lovely for Parmesean cheeses, zesting limes or lemons etc. Not for soft cheeses. I use mine all the time!

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.

You might be okay with softer cheese, but make sure it's properly chilled, maybe even try partially freezing it. I could see it gumming up the works easily. In general, the blade kinda stinks.

Yes, it will cut squash very thin, perhaps not spaghetti thin, but close. No it does not grate cheese.

I have never grate cheese in a food processor. However (and this is only a guess), if the cheese is hard, then I would try a fast pulse to see if that works. As long as it's hard cheese, it sounds as if quick pulses should work. I wouldn't try soft cheeses, however. I would guess that soft cheeses would be gummy and stick to the blades.

Thanks for your question. You should be able to use the julienne blade (or the regular peeler blade for that matter) on cheddar without issue. Our peeler works best on medium and hard cheeses, as compared to softer cheeses such as fresh mozzarella, for example. I hope this helps!
