Can this be shredded with a cheese grater?

Well, I just had to try that. Yes, I was able to shred it. It is not as moist as cheese and therefore tends to break up a little more, but yes, I was able to shred it.

I haven't tried shredding it but the consistency is similar to a really hard cheese so it would probably work. It would probably shred best if it was chilled.

It will turn your potato into mush. You should just use the fine side of a cheese grater if you're doing potato.

softer cheese like mozzarella... depends if it is sold in a hard block or soft ball. If it is bought in a block, just get it good and cold and yes, you can shred it with some coming out in slices.

I have honestly not tried to grate nuts yet, but I don't see why it would not do fine. It has 4 very sturdy cones for slicing and grating, and they are dishwasher-proof. I usually just chop nuts in a little chopper. If you grate cheese though, this is the best grater ever. I have vats of nice fluffy cheese now ready at all times.

Not really. The blades will wear out faster than you'd like. I'd recommend a sturdy box grater with stronger blades.

I haven't tried because I believe it would be very hard (due to cheese's density) and messy (while vegetable juice is easy to just rinse off, not so much with cheese's fat smashed all over the the tool).

Absolutely! You can adjust the opening holes. Shaved cheese won't work but grated will. Enjoy! It is airtight.

It works fine for soft cheeses if you use the large caliber grater. I'd estimate a 2" x 2" chunk at a time.

I don't think it is a good idea for cheese unless it is a HARD dry cheese. Anything sticky will plug up the shredder

I haven't ever had any issues. Nevertheless, to be sure, I just shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the fine attachment and had complete success.

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.

It really depend on how hard the cheese is. I have been able to cut cheddar and Swiss but Parmesan I think would be difficult.

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..............!

I have grated carrots and raw vegetables with it. You just can't be in a rush. I didn't like the way it grated the cheese either. I would not necessarily purchase it again if it broke....

No, the holes aren't raised in any way, so it won't really cut the cheese. I suppose if you put, say, a corner of the cheese on it, some of it might be grated, but they're quite big holes and it most definitely wouldn't be useful as a cheese grater.

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.

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.
