I tried that a few times - it just made for a big mess to clean - the
cheese stuck all over the place and wasn't the 'shred' I can get from
my Mouli or plane graters. I tend to go non-electric when I can.
Must come from camping, boating days and a father who watched the
elec. bill closely.

I no longer have a Mouli. My first one was great but eventually it wore
out. The subsequent ones all had plastic parts that broke. I love the
plane graters. I think they work much better than the old box.
