Can you shred cheese in this unit? How about cutting cabbage for cole slaw?

This food chopper will shred hard cheese and slice or shred cabbage, but will not slice or shred soft cheeses.

Personally, I would want the cheese very cold but not quite frozen. So only take out a little at time to shred. Good at cabbage for cole slaw. I preferred the older model to this one. So I recommend you shop carefully the magnets that hold device closed are stronger than the plastic. I'm starting to get some crazing in my plastic. It DOES do what it is supposed to.

Yes, it will shred cabbage as long as your chunks fit down the input chute. I haven't done much cheese with it. As long as you don't force the feed too hard and bind up the blade, it does fine.

I've never tried either but I'm sure shredding cabbage would be no problem. Keep in mind that the plastic container and cover are very flimsy and mine broke some time ago and I've had to discard the 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.

no, I use my food processor for cabbage these things are too small for that. The design is that you place the food under the handle and run it over the blade. using this would not be an efficient way to cut cabbage

It does a great job on cabbage. I've made crocks of sauerkraut several times using it to do all of the shredding and have been very pleased. Gloria

Hi :) Yes it does shred cabbage. I use it to shred onion, cabbage, lettuce ... etc.

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.

It does cut cheese. It slices hard type cheese, such as Gruyere, very well.

Sorry, never tried it. The serrated blade should help with softer cheeses. Something like Velveeta would need to be very cold.

As the food processor it would be chopped, but the accessory shredding attachment would actually make shredded cabbage.

Answer by S Bryson is spot-on....the shredding blade is great for hash browns, shredded cheese, carrots etc... the slicing blade is great for fried potatoes, sliced veggies (hard ones) not so much for soft ones like tomatoes.... we use this blade for making sauerkraut..it just blasts through a ton of cabbage in short order......the dough blade is great for kneading bread or mixing the lightest scone batter....the metal blade can chop nuts by pulsing, or make nut butters by constant running.....we are very pleased with out Cuisinart. I have had three and each one was bigger than the last..AND they all still work....play with it and enjoy!!

Well, I just had to try that. Yes, I was able to shred it. It is not as moist as cheese and therefore tends to break up a little more, but yes, I was able to shred it.

Possibly. It does have a shredding disk and it shreds soft cheeses, so it may do the job.

It comes with the shredding and slicing cone, I don't know about cheese. I use it for carrots and beets and it works well.

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.

yes, I use it all the time just for that. I use the very thin blade and quarter the cabbage head because of the narrowness of the cutter. I shopped a long time before buying this and now own two

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shred cabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change once you've done it a few times."

I use it to slice my homemade cheese, and it works well for me. You have to go slower than with meat, but it does slice well.
