I use a simple box grater for anything small enough to fit in my hand;
anything that I have to cut up first I use the Cuisinart.

IKEA sells an oval grater/container combination; I don't much like it
for myself but I tried it at a friend's house. It's cheap, effective
for small amounts, and *quite* sharp.

Tell me! Mum had a crate full of gadgets when we left Malta in 1968!
She can still get spares for her machine, so maybe if you find some
older bits on eBay... Good luck!

The only hitch is:
If you are a US citizen in the UK with an IQ over 50 but under 100
standing on one foot and holding your mouth in just the right position
it might work provided you have naturally auburn hair.
Chalk up another useless (but still counts in the year's total)post
for "qwerty".

That *is* titchy. I've got a luxurious 8'x12'.

There's even room for a small marble topped wrought iron dining table
that I nicked from Cafe de la Gare in Waterloo, and seating for four.

Out on the work surface at present is my steamer, juice extractor,
microwave and a ghastly triangular glass dish that I got as a xmas
present (haven't 'conveniently' smashed it yet) and use as a fruit bowl.

Another even more ghastly xmas present (thin glass vase in a weird metal
holder) from the cleaner is going to have to remain conspicuous for the
moment as she comes in twice a week, as long as I can remember to hide
it when I've got visitors.

Mine's 17 feet long but only 6 feet wide, and has almost no walls! I do
have a run of cupboards down one side and round into the dining room...

My Little Sis once gave me an Ugly Vase - as an engagement prezzie, to
ward off evil/ugly/useless wedding presents! It must have strong magic,
because

a: it still exists, despite the destructive efforts of 21 years, a small
boy, and 4 cats!
b: it's still working! In all that time I've never had a completely
revolting or useless present!

I've grown very fond of it, over the years...

Agreed, in general, although when making, for example, tacos for 20 people I
wouldn't hesitate to use the processor to shred the cheese.
From my point of view, pre-handicap, my mother cooked for enormous groups as
I also did, but my machines made it possible to be more adventurous with the
menu. I also became adventurous in making up new recipes, starting with the
inherent power of some of these tools. Inspiring. I would never have
thought of making a chicken tarragon pate if I had to mince the chicken on a
wooden board with a knife. Similarly, anything with more than a pound or
two of minced onions. What tears I would shed, and what time I would spend!
As time goes on, many of us will be increasingly uncomfortable with some
kitchen chores. If we know how to use these helpers, we can put off the day
when fine cookery is just too much to contemplate. Few elderly will buy and
learn new machines from scratch, normally. My mother used her food
processor, attained at age 70-something, for anything but squishing up fruit
for jams.
She loved the electric drip coffee pot, since she was a bit absent-minded
when we gave it to her, but soon went back to a percolator, which burned on
the stove regularly when she wandered off, having forgot she was using it.
Slow cookers, electric coffee makers, various helps would have helped avoid
the time when she was too dangerous in the kitchen. Eventually, her drive
for independence became a peril and we took over her life. I could wish
she'd plumped for more aids when she was young enough to get the habit.

I have just given up muscle power in favour of machinery when making
Marmalade. I have been using our family heirloom marmalade machine to
slice peel for it must be 55 years. I was the youngest and male so I got
given the simplest and most physical job. :-(

I have now adapted one of Mary's recipes published here some years ago. I
now halve and de-pip the fruit, put the fruit in the food processor with
the big blade, and some of the water. Pulse carefully until the peel is
the right size, I have to cut some of the larger peices with a knife.
Continue to your usual recipe.

Perhaps it's that everything else is just less ugly in comparison. The
first ugly present is the thick end of the wedge, or something.

Dan,

I buy cheese tø cook with in bulk and shred it, then freeze it. Many
cheeses freezes well, if shredded first. I shred it using a n attachment
for my mixer, though I have used the shredder on my food processor as well.

I simply wrap mine in plastic wrap (in say loose handful sized chunks)
and then put the wrapped hunks in a plastic bag and freeze it. I also
generally make a 'house blend' of cheddar, colby, and monterey jack
(about 50-60% cheddar) to make it tastier.

I keep one of the wrapped hunks in the fridge, and the rest in the freezer.

You had teeth?

My mother used to sell my teeth to rich kids who'd had theirs knocked out in
fights.

The vase isn't THAT ugly... It's white bone china, in the shape of an
iris. The flower head and leaves are hand painted, rather nicely. Lots
of folk have thought it pretty! Whatever - it works!

Oh dear! I love it. Really, I do. I must be a bit sad but I think it

1970's Scandinavian silver. You must be mad not to like it.

Thanks for that mate.

Its taken me this long to trail through all the posts before i got to
yours!! But, yes, thats exactly what i'm looking for.

I'll take a look and see if i can get hold of one that will work in the UK.

I also did a search on Amazon and came up with this lot.

Not sure if any of them are electric though, but some look easier to use
than the usual cheese graters i've mauled by hand on before!

Thanks again

I walk where its a practical option, as I can't run up the M1 at
90 mph to get to the Highlands I use a car for that, with grating
cheese I can grate all I need for domestic use with my muscles
and a manual grater.

June, for a small consideration, it's yours. Outside the Robert Dyas on
High Holborn, noon, tomorrow?

Honestly, I'd love to give it away but the cleaner would notice its
absence. I've dropped some not so subtle hints, like avoiding giving it
pride of place on the coffee table, or even the glass shelves (wouldn't
fit there anyway - it's nearly two feet tall). In fact, it's on the hall
floor outside the bedroom and until yesterday was almost hidden by
cardboard boxes until I dumped them.

I think I'm stuck with it for a while yet.

Oh, and note that many of them look like the Salad Shooter I
pointed out, except they are manual. You're welcome.

Not in town tomorrow. How about Wednesday at 1pm?

<g> Still willing to meet at 1pm (or 1.10 even better), Wed 28 Jan -
I'll buy you a coffee if you like. (Not trying to chat you up but
would love to meet you). Costa coffee is the nearest to Robt Dyas, I
think. Let me know. Old biddy wearing equally old Burberry mac or red
padded coat if the snow really takes a hold

PS I met Susie around 5 or 6 years ago and we went for a pie and a pint
at the pub in High Holborn - near the tobacconist's in the Tudor
building.

For God's sake Qwerty, do you just want people to agree with you or do
you own stock in Salad Shooter. Thank you.
