shredded cheese

I am looking for a small food processor to grate cheddar cheese. I tried to shred it with a hand grater and it was a mess! Any suggestions? Thanks

I have a KitchenAid food processor (K378514) I use to grate cheese. I didn't buy from QVC, but the item # I posted is the one I own.

It grates cheese in a matter of 2 minutes. Takes me longer to clean the food processor than it does to grate the cheese.

I own a smaller food processor also, but use the large one for cheese.

Watch the video on this. I would buy it, if I did this sort of thing...

Did you see the hand-cranked grater they were selling on HSN over the holidays?

kitchen grater

I got one specifically to grate cheese, but haven't used it yet.

An ongoing problem for those us with bad hands. I just bite the bullet and bags of grated Tillamook cheddar. Lovely stuff but pricey.

@Flika13try putting your block of cheese in the freezer for about 1/2 hour. That'll "harden" it up a bit making it easier to grate without too much mess.

I had that hand cranked one from HSN, I attempted to use it once and it was a pain, don't even remember what I used it for, actually thinking, I was gonna make egg salad and was gonna grate the eggs. It was such a pain and the handle kept coming off. I washed it up and just gave it away.

@Flika13 I recently went through the same thing trying to grate a wedge of parmesan. So I looked on Am-azon and ordered the one below for $21, no shipping fee with prime. I love it! Works like a champ, easy to use, doesn't budge off the counter with the lock, and takes little storage space. 👍👍

Thank you for your replies! I think I will take my 9 cup Cuisinart food processor out of hibernation, if I can find it, and try that first. I will probably end up getting one of the counter ones that were suggested. I love kitchen gadgets

To me, nothing beats a hand grater, and I never have a mess.

We love Tillamook cheddar and buy the black blocks from Costco. I've never seen the grated version, but I'll be on the look-out. I also am sick of using a hand grater, and by the time I get the food processor assembled with the proper blade, dinner hour will be over. Maybe I should just keep it set up that way.
