I'm hoping someone can tell me which side of the grater I should use to grate Pecorino-Romano cheese? thank you.

Try to see what you get, but I would use the finest side (opposite the single blade slicer) to get a fine powder-like grating of a hard cheese.

Typically, you would utilize the side with the smallest holes for the harder cheeses, such as Romano or parmesan.

what kinds of blades are you seeking. This machine is not designed to slice or produce the product in some other way than grate. There is nothing in directions offering different blades

The handle goes both ways, but if you hold the barrel (where the grated cheese comes out) and reverse the handle it unlocks and the handle comes off, so that is how the whole think comes apart to be cleaned. I previously had a metal cheese grater, and this zyliss one in plastic seems more secure and works great. We are using it daily and are glad we purchased this brand of grater.

Absolutely. I've used it for both and it works very well. This is the best grater I've ever had.

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.

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.

Quarter them, smaller pieces work best. Make sure it fits in the blade area only with no overhang. Give it a sharp close and it works great. My chopper is the only way I will dice onions. So much quicker and easier.

I would say go with the cast iron, because that is what I have and it works very well. I bought a griddle and a regular new grate for my grill (both sides were old and very rusted and gross), and I must say that I am happy with both sides. Only thing that I don't care for is that it is made in China.

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.

The cermaic grates are not sharp to the touch...you can run your finger across and not get a scratch. However, it quickly fine grates a garlic clove, or ginger piece in no time flat. My plate had a flower on the side and royal blue tube.

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

t,his grater works quite well with softer cheeses. realistically, no grater is perfect with soft cheeses. I use this grater almost everyday and I'm extremely pleased with it in fact more than any other I've used. Sharp easy to clean.

fine zesting and grating. Slide the cover on upside-down and grate away. Doing that keeps the gratings from flying all over the counter. ;)

Insert it from left to right, carefully fitting it in the groove from the side. It will get easier with subsequent removals. It's an EXCELLENT rotisserie!

Mine does a good job with the larger 'grater' side, and the 'slicer' side does nicely for potatoes; but the other two sides not only make a big mess, they are really hard to get clean - even in the dishwasher. It is dishwasher-safe though, so I'd buy it again if I needed to.

This is a very sturdy, easy to clean grater (cheese does not stick to the inside we tap on the edge of the cutting board to get all of the food out). We use it everyday in our household. There are 4 sides on this rectangular grater. 1) A fine grind (back - bumpy small holes for nuts etc) 2) A fine shred (side - works like a microplane) 3) A coarse shred (front - like the bags of pre-shredded cheese in the grocery store) 4) A slicer that is the full width on the box grater approx 2" (side - great for cheese)

All you have to do is slide to the right or left - similar how kfrat grated cheese is sold - there is a whole underneath so when you slide the sop part it uncovers! Hope this helps! ;-)
