Will this machine shred soft cheeses like mozzarella for pizzas?

Yes, I shred all my pizza cheeses. It works best if the soft cheese is chilled first.

I have sliced partially frozen meat and cheese with good success. I would not want to put that extra burden on the motor. It's not a professional machine. The cost reflects that it is for moderate home use and does very well.

YES it will shred it, However, you must load the machine lightly with live tree branches, plants, brush and or fruits or it will clog. Each year, I shred whatever is left in the garden (tomatos, onions, and other foods) and it is ripped/shredded. I normally wait till these items die before shredding these items because the machine then gets all wet inside which helps rust to take hold and i want the machine to last longer. So I usually wait till things are dried up and dead before i shred them. Remember you cannot clean or dry the inside of the machine so its always best to shred dry/dead items. I have also shredded 4 inch 2x4 pieces and it chops them up also but beware if you do that because it will spit pieces out.

It works great.. as any soft cheeses it does smear and break up.. but by far this is a GREAT cheese grater. �

Absolutely! This machine will pulverize anything! I was attempting to chop almonds and they turned to powder. :). I use mine for juicing veggies, it gets the pulp minuscule. Oh won't regret this purchase. Betty/New Braunfels, Texas

I would say no. It tends to smash softer cheese, and even the hard stuff it crumbles instead of grating. I should have sent this back. As I am sure I stated in my review, it grates these cheese and spits it out in a long rope and because it grates it so fine, that 'rope' gums together and has to be separated by hand. pretty much useless.

Softer cheese is fine, I had no problem. You just might have more cleanup on the shredding drum. The opening to shred the cheese is about a 2x2 square, it can be any size long. It just depends on how strong you are at holding the cheese in the opening.

This machine does not grate cheddar, jack or mozzarella well at all. I am very disappointed in the performance. Apparently the motor has a choke on it to prevent burnout so it continually stalls out when trying grate cheese. I bought it to replace my old Black and Decker chopper/grater and that one shredded cheese like a champ. The only reason I had to get a new one was because the spindle eventually cracked and it was impossible to replace.

I'm not sure. I have shredded carrots and cheese only.It will probably get the job done if you tried shredding the cabbage.M!

To cut small slices of any but hard dry cheeses it is great. It works on soft cheeses like Brie and Jack especially well

Yes it will. I have used for all types of cheeses including cheddar and it works great. I even use on harder meats and it works. Very satisfied with product.

I use it to strain homemade ricotta. Line with cheese cloth and it will be fine.

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

Cuts potatoes & cheeses just fine (but the very soft cheese types will gum up things so not recommended)

Mine will not. I tried to use it chop up a block of cheddar. Even after I cut it into tiny cubes, it still would not cut it. The blade stuck in the cheese and then flew up out of place.

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

I haven't tried it, but I imagine it handling an occasional piece of cardboard since it's able to handle a CD or credit card. I would only shred a cereal box if I'd opened it up to a single layer.
