Can you please tell me if soft cheese like (velveeta cheese) can be grated with this salad shooter?

Well, I've never really tried to shred that type of cheese, so I can't really say. It's a rather soft cheese.

Believe it of not...Dental Floss works best when having to slice Velvetta cheese into thin slices

Yes, you'd be fine with Velveeta. It's certainly the best investment that I've made in my kitchen...we use lots of different cheeses when we cook.
135783
No it can't. You might try freezing a piece and trying, but right out of the box it would be too sticky.

It might cut through it (or hot butter), but it isn't much good for anything else. I would use a knife.

I didn't try that, I think it might be too soft, though, stick to the little harder cheese, like cheddar.

Sure Velveeta should be fine to put in the Shooter. I've done every other kind of cheese without a problem.

I have never grate cheese in a food processor. However (and this is only a guess), if the cheese is hard, then I would try a fast pulse to see if that works. As long as it's hard cheese, it sounds as if quick pulses should work. I wouldn't try soft cheeses, however. I would guess that soft cheeses would be gummy and stick to the blades.

I haven't tried it with mozzarella, but I have tried it with some slightly soft cheeses, and it did fine. I would suppose that if you had the mozzarella very cold so that it is as firm as possible, it would grate OK on this grater.

Sure you can but there are not separate controls so I think the cheese would get too hot. Or the oil might be too cool. We haven't tried using oil yet. Maybe someone else has?

It's a bit thicker. I am mixing with first pressed cold extra virgin olive oil, and mother's vinegar, to TRY and keep healthy. It makes for a good change of pace from regular Italian. I find I have to warm it up before it pours after the first time. But it's got more garlic and I guess some cheese taste, but I'm always throwing some cheese on my salad anyhow.

I haven't tried to grate cheese, but I am sure it probably would grate hard cheese. I don't know about softer cheese, it might stick to blades. I use it instead of the food processor when I can. I sure hope I was a little help. I love it.

not sure we only use it for potatoes, never tried cheese with it, we make a east coast recipe. sorry not being able to give you the answer you are looking for.

This grater does pretty well on soft cheese and I do grate mozzarella on it. A light coating of olive oil in advance can help.I really like this grater..............!

Sorry, never tried it. The serrated blade should help with softer cheeses. Something like Velveeta would need to be very cold.

I would say no. It tends to smash softer cheese, and even the hard stuff it crumbles instead of grating. I should have sent this back. As I am sure I stated in my review, it grates these cheese and spits it out in a long rope and because it grates it so fine, that 'rope' gums together and has to be separated by hand. pretty much useless.

I just used mine to make feta and it was not stored in freezer... Cheese came out great!

Yes, if it can go through hard veggies light potatoes and carrots I would. It might get sticky depending on the type of cheese I think would make neat patterns. SO go for it

By hard I assume you mean Parmesan, as opposed to the hardness of a block of cheddar cheese. I just tried it and while I usually grate this type of cheese, the slicer cut off slices, one after another, but not a conventional slice as Parmesan not the right consistency for that. It did a nice job and then "slices" can be crumbled. If you're looking for a neat looking piece of cheese, then no.

feta can be made with this starter but it does a curd like cheese better. something more like a mozerella that is eaten before it ages. most of the cheese that i have been making doesnt make it a week before it is gone. i never had good luck with feta.

You might be okay with softer cheese, but make sure it's properly chilled, maybe even try partially freezing it. I could see it gumming up the works easily. In general, the blade kinda stinks.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I have used it for vegetables like potatoes making them nice and thin but haven't used it for cheese. I do think it would work especially if the cheese is hard.

I have used it to slice very hard cheese, but soft cheese will not work. The grater blade works well to grate all types of cheese.
