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

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

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.

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

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.

AOL. Mine's 8' x 6' but I reckon I'll squeeze a FP in once I get round
to buying one. It can live where the unused deep fryer presently
lingers with intent to remind me of money wasted.

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 :-)

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!

Large-drum rotary grater. Powered, I believe.

I have the rotary attachment for my KitchenAid - so I don't need the Salad
Shooter, either!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...610947-9465239

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

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

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

Hey, I was criticized when I tried to help out the guy. Then he
thanks you and implies that no one else tried to help him. I was
offended. Why on earth you got on my case, I haven't the vaguest
idea, but ... whatever ... as they say.

There is probably something in Nisbits on line catalogue if such
a thing exists, but unless disabled I think its a bad thing to
use power and machinery for what muscle can do.

You walk or cycle *everywhere*?

You want to go back to an Victorian/Edwardian Kitchen? Edwardian Country
House reruns regularly. As does that family who live in a Victorian
house, forgotten the name :-(

I was brought up during WWII without all kitchen machinery, life was
*hard*.
