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.

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

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.

Et voila! There's your answer. I use a stainless steel box grater and
can produce a cup of grated cheese in under a minute with *very*
minimal washing up. The ol' FP can grate the same amount in a few
seconds, but there's storage space, dragging out, and a good amount of
clean-up time. See various rfc threads on 'gadgets.' There's
doubtless an electric nutmeg grater out there somewhere, but who'd
want one?

As I'm sure I've mentioned before, I was given an Italian (manual
crank) Parmesean cheese grater. I used it once. That sucker had 27
separate (washable) parts!

As for smaller than an FP, if you need a *lot* of grated cheese, a
similar, smaller gadget will need to be emptied/scraped out
frequently.

See:

http://secure.igia.com/prodetail.cfm?ID=AT7723

for something you *really* don't want to clean. Or even have shoot
cheese shreds all over your kitchen.

I don't think:

http://store.yahoo.com/flyyourflag/omelchgrmoar.html

is what you have in mind.

Perhaps this?

http://www.1-800-espresso.com/lapav-...rater-177.html

Oh, and if you click on the small 'cheese grater' pic, you will see my
Italian version (the red one with a crank in the back).

Is

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,

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

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

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
>having to grate a slab of cheddar???

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.

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.

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.
