Is it made for hard cheese?

I think that this would probably work better for hard cheeses than soft, to be honest with you. Soft cheeses tend to "catch" on the slicer & get pulled by the edges of the slicer. I love mine!

Mainly for hard or medium cheese. It's not so great for soft cheeses. I love it.

definitely yes. It will not work on soft cheese. I would describe it to be a cheese plane in that one draws it across the block of cheese.

By hard I assume you mean Parmesan, as opposed to the hardness of a block of cheddar cheese. I just tried it and while I usually grate this type of cheese, the slicer cut off slices, one after another, but not a conventional slice as Parmesan not the right consistency for that. It did a nice job and then "slices" can be crumbled. If you're looking for a neat looking piece of cheese, then no.

I have only used it on soft cheese but don't see why it wouldn't work on hard cheese.

I haven't tried it on soft cheese, but I don't think it would work very well because the opening is fairly small. I think it would make a mushy mess out of soft cheese, but it does a stellar job on the harder cheeses!

It is made to be solid on the bottem. The grater will grate the cheese fine and it will fall to the bottom asit spins. It works very well. Enjoy.

I don't think so. Maybe with some hard cheese like parmigiano it might work

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

i think so, i know it can grate hard cheeses. I have only tried onions, celery, apples, bell peppers so far

They don't seem to, but I have found it works better with hard cheeses than with soft.

Yes; however, the yield on your cheese will be incredibly small. Use whole milk for cheese production.

I bought mine from the woman who designed it and had it commissioned. She said it wasn't built with those cheeses in mind, but you could keep it hand tight by every hour or so just going in and turning the knob hand tight. If you use a tool, like a wrench, you can pull the press apart. As tight as an average person can turn it is sufficient to knot the warm curd together for a cheddar style cheese.

It works fine for soft cheeses if you use the large caliber grater. I'd estimate a 2" x 2" chunk at a time.

I have not but would be interested in knowing how to make my own cheese from this milk. I use this milk to make my homemade yogurt thicker like Greek style yogurt.

It should if cheese isn't too thick, although I've only used mine for fruits and veggies

if its not too hard like parmesan cheese it should but be aware that it will only be small chunks

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.

it might, but it's not designed for that.......more for cheese.....things that stick to the knife when cut. You need more of a Santoku type knife for cutting hard veggies

harder cheeses work fine parmesan, cheddar, colby depends on the cheese. Some softer cheeses get hard enough if refrigerated. if cheese grating is mainly what you use it for maybe not, all veggies work great. hope this helps

It is not for cheeses etc, I bought it primarily to grate coconut so that I can make coconut oil
