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?

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 don't have one, but seems like people use them to grate cheese ...
do they sell Salad Shooters in the UK?

Large-drum rotary grater. Powered, I believe.

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.

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

Thanks Nancy. Looks a bit like the slicer Kenwood brought out before
Christmas. I have an attachment for the KitchenAid that does similar
things but it is never used - mainly because by the time I have got it
out and attached to the mixer, I could have done the job by hand.

I was wondering if there was anything smaller than a full size food
processor, made just for grating cheese.

By the time i've got it out the cupboard, put the right attachment on to
it, i could have done the job by hand.

Which is why we buy cooking cheese in 1kg lumps. Then we store the result
in the freezer in 500g margerine tubs.

If you have lots to grate, the shredder disk on a food processor works well.
The electric graters we use for parmigiano don't work on softer cheeses
worth a darn.
I sometimes use the Mouli, but it clogs, does small pieces at a time and
generally isn't all that efficient.

That's what I said somewhere else in this thread (can't remember where
but I'm sure I did). It takes so long to put on to the KitchenAid that
I don't bother with it much. However, it works well and if I used it
more I would improve at fitting it in a speedier fashion.

I used to use the magimix for parmesan using the parmesan disc but these
days use an Alessi grater-thingy, which all the family use at mealtimes.
It grates easily and finely. However, most of the time, we just shave
the parmesan off with a potato peeler.

White Cheddar from Lidl.
For eating we have better cheese.

Well, I must admit that I don't use mine very often - only when I have
enormous quatities to do. For lesser amounts, I use my Cuisinart food
processor.

Like the 'slicer & shredder' for the Kenwood Chef? Mum has one of
those... Don't think she's used it much in the last 20 years, but for
the 15 or so before that, it got used regularly! I well remember making
cole slaw by the gallon for squadron parties, munching up crab apples
for Dad's wine making, and slicing garden produce for the freezer by the
tub-load!

Oh yes... and grating up 5 kilos of cheese for I-dunno-how-much
lasagne!

Keep it out on the work surface! Mine lives out, along with the kettle

I've got a question for you. Are all those attachments still available for
the Kenwood mixer? I've got a Kenwood I bought when Rival was rebranding
them and selling them here in the States. I got the coffee grinder and the
spice grinder attachments, but when Rival stopped selling them we lost the
source. I've never seen the full range of attachments anywhere again,
including the net.

Look he http://www.kenwood.co.uk/clever/kframes.htm

Doesn't look like they still do the slicer and shredder or the potato
peeler, but they do some things. You can jump to the Kenwood home page
from this one, and have a go at asking them...

Dan, the Black and Decker company makes a gadget called the "Gizmo
Grater" which is exactly the item you are describing a need for. It is
a hand held, electric, cheese grater. You can purchase it from
Amazon.com for $24.99 (U.S currency). I swear, the "regular" geniuses
in this newsgroup would rather see how many posts they can accumulate
in a years time than give a simple answer to a simple question. The
gadget does work well.

Yes, they do still potato peeler, but that's still only about 9 of the
original 15-16 they used to offer. Oh well. Thank you for the link.

Does very well on top of Pasta Bakes and the like.
At the Curry Project they insist on well browned cheese, for pasta bakes.
Without it they are not that interested.

You want to go back to an Victorian/Edwardian Kitchen? Edwardian Country
