Default Electric Cheese Grater

Does anyone know if there's a decent electric cheese grater available to
buy in the UK?

Surely there must be some sort of gadget that can take away the effort of
having to grate a slab of cheddar??? I've seen in supermarkets that you can
buy packs of cheese already grated, but this is just far too lazy (and
probably expensive!!)

Anyone know where i can order one from and have any good experiences using
it?

Thanks in advance

We use a Magimix 5100,
One kilogram cut into five.
Brrp, Brrp, Brrp, Brrp, Brrp, Done apart from washing up.

May be a bit expensive though :-(
I will also do most other mixing, slicing, grating,
juicing jobs as well :-)

It's called a food processor. Most come with grating disks of various
sizes.

If I have a lot of cheese to do, I use the Magimix but if that is all
you are going to use it for, it works out a bit expensive.

I'm sure there are many to choose from... what quantity of cheese are you
looking to grate?

Surely there must be some sort of gadget that can take away the effort of

Cheddar isn't grated, it's generally not dry enough, not even when well aged...
you must mean *shredded*. One of the best ways to shred cheddar is with a meat
grinder.

That would probably be the ideal tool for making a large quantity of a southern
favorite Pimento Cheese for sandwiches. I just use my cuisinart for large amounts
and hand grater for smaller.

That's what I use too - and all the bits go in the dishwasher, so
washing up is no problem!

Love my juicer! And I didn't think it was an expensive machine for the
use I give it!

It's an electric device that you use to slice and shred for salads,
whatever. I went to http://www.saladshooter.com for a joke, sure
enough they have a site. Look around and you'll find a picture of
one. I have no idea if they make them for use in the UK.

Nah - the gun laws are very strict and salads are a protected species.

We have a 20 year old mouli grater which does the job just fine for two or
three sandwiches - of course if you have to grate a few tons of cheese I
suppose it *might* be worth getting an electric version.

Have found its still available
