Do the ends of cheese blocks break off with this model?

They don't seem to, but I have found it works better with hard cheeses than with soft.

I have only used it on hard cheese so far. It has worked straight to the end of the block.

I used them with the broiler feature to melt the cheese and had no problem. I hope this helps.

It will terminate if you cut it. I comes so it overlaps the next piece on the ends thus it has a tab.. you will need to cut it square to butt into a wall.

My wife and I have used our extruder and we have not had any problems with the ring breaking. I think monitoring the dough consistency is an important factor in that.

Mine did not break off but I did tape a feather on it to make it more fun. Hope that helps.

I've done that and it works fine. I seal cheese (in blocks) and when I take a chunk off to shred I reseal the bag. As long as the bag will reseal there's no need to throw it out.

I purchased this as a gift. I had an opportunity to use it several times and did not have that problem. I removed the plates, put them in the dishwasher and reattached them. Make sure the clamps are tight. Make great grilled cheese and Panini sandwiches. Going to buy one for myself.

On one end there is a place to pull it apart. It wont break , mine felt like that at first but you just gotta use a little force with the first time.

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.

Yes it will. You decide the thickness just by moving the cheese in postion under the cutter.

there is a sort of looseness with the top & bottom but I still think once it's in the lock position the separating or looseness is not there. Nothing has broken on mine yet. I bought the calphalon plastic black long tongs to pick up all four waffles @ once. Together they work great.

There are so many different kinds of Zyliss cheese graters......I hope our graters are actually the same. Here-goes: If you are talking about the crank handle (the one you turn to grate cheese), the answer is NO. The crank handle should not fold in when you are grating cheese. I'm right handed. I hold my grater in my left hand and I turn the crank handle with my right hand when I grate cheese. If you are right handed too, then I guess you hold your cheese grater the same way. That said, make sure the crank handle is flopped all the way out and that it actually LOCKS IN PLACE with a distinct click before you start turning it. If the crank handle does not lock in place than you might have a faulty cheese grater. And when you are done grating cheese, after wash-up, push the button on the crank handle that says "PUSH" and fold it back inside the drum.

I have never tried to collapse the block - I leave it displayed on my counter but now that you've mentioned it, I will try. The knives are WONDERFUL!

There is no reason, this should break.it's made very well.I use them all the time, and they work excellent

Mine has warped at the ends. Not safe without adding material at the ends so it doesn't trap a foot and chop it off. I have five of them and they all have done the same with warping. My bottom tray is not staying in place either. the track at the bottom doesn't hold it in place. Will be looking at a different brand.

Yes, they come apart. They are truly a miniature version a the larger ones. I was able to make monkey bread with 2 containers of the Pillsbury rolls. The ones in the blue pack.
