Can this grate cheeses like cheddar cheese?

I bought this strictly for parmesan...it handles very hard cheeses though, as Wade says, not as well as I remember my old (25+ years) Zyliss. The hopper is quite small. For cheddar I use the Microplane Professional series, extra coarse, which produces larger shreds. I haven't tried the other Microplane graters, though the medium two-way grater sounds interesting. I like these much better than a box grater, slips easily into dishwasher. I also strongly recommend spending just a bit more for the Professional series with steel handle.

would this work with soft cheeses like mozzarella ?

Hi there, I don't think so. It is great for hard cheeses and makes it very fine. I think Mozzarella would clog it up.

Can this be put in the dishwasher?

I did put it in the dishwasher the one time I used it. It survived the experience but not so much my cheese . I found it difficult to grate hard cheese .

My drum is old, can I get a spare drum for this?

Im not sure, mine is brand new. I would just order a new one, they are inexpensive enough and well worth it

Great Grater....

I'm not sure I would call it Restaurant certified, but it works great. You can switch the handle side for left handed people. Highly recommend that you freeze softer cheeses before grating them. Cleans nicely in the dishwasher.

The King of grattugge

Conoscevo già il prodotto ho una grattugia della stessa marca da più di 20 anni ed è come nuova. Una piacevole conferma della bontà del prodotto.

チーズが無駄にならない

パスタ店でカルボナーラ用に購入いたしました。今まで細長いチーズ削りを使用しており、どうしてもチーズがかけていましたが、こちらの商品にかけた部分を集めてセットすると無駄にならず大変ありがたいです。力もいらず、スピーディーに削れるのでオペレーション的にもとても良いです。パルミジャーノ、ペコリーノどちらも問題なく使えています。

Reliable

Our previous Zyliss lasted for many years but needed replacement. This successor does the job well.
