I grate a lot of mozzarella. How does this grate softer cheeses like this?

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

It works great.. as any soft cheeses it does smear and break up.. but by far this is a GREAT cheese grater. �

t,his grater works quite well with softer cheeses. realistically, no grater is perfect with soft cheeses. I use this grater almost everyday and I'm extremely pleased with it in fact more than any other I've used. Sharp easy to clean.

It would be the regular grated cheese. I'm not sure how well the blades would do with cheese - they could get clogged. Worth a try though.

i think so, i know it can grate hard cheeses. I have only tried onions, celery, apples, bell peppers so far

Not hard to turn at all. You might need to put in smaller chunks than with softer cheeses. I absolutely love this grater and it is VERY easy to clean!

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.

Open drum definitely helps clear clogs from soft cheeses. Kasseri is probably the softest cheese we grate regularly. Mozzarella may gum up a bit, but I guarantee (again all hail the open drum) this grater would be easier to clear than other rotary styles. Happy cooking!

My cheese melted pretty quickly. I used soft cheeses which melt more quickly. I also had the guests melt their cheese while I grilled shrimp and chicken on top. Everything seemed to get done at the same time.

I've grated cheddar on the coarse cylinder, and it was fine. But, since I slice rather than grate mozzarella, I have no experience with that to report.

I bought one and love it. I took out the small pan inside (your suppose to set the smaller one in water on the inside) and it worked nicely. I bought a very large can of nacho cheese and placed the rest of the cheese in baggies (food saver bags that were sealed) and placed those bags in a crock pot of water so it would stay warm and I could just cut a corner and pour it into the paragon. Set it on high and it will stay warm. If you have leftovers spoon it out into a container and refriderate. My food saver works wonders for this because the nacho cheese has a shelve life and you do not have to refridgate unless you open the package. I bought one and love it.

I usually make it over night, and allow it to strain while I am at work(about nine hours). The consistency of the product is nearly a soft cheese. You can expect to loose a little over half of what you started with. This being said, I am still very happy with the machine. It produces yogurt that is much better than store bought, at a price that's cheaper than normal retail. I only wish the unit had twice the capacity, so that I could make larger batches.

Sorry, I don't know. I use a hand grater for small amounts and a Breville sous chef for large amounts. I would imagine that for sticky cheeses it wouldn't work so well, but why not try it with some cubes of parmesan or other firm cheese?

harder cheeses work fine parmesan, cheddar, colby depends on the cheese. Some softer cheeses get hard enough if refrigerated. if cheese grating is mainly what you use it for maybe not, all veggies work great. hope this helps

Haven't tried it, but I am guessing it would "chop" hard cheese. I think of grating as taking it over a surface. But I think it would "chop" it up just fine.

I really do not know. I purchased this to make fresh mozzarella cheese (buffalo cheese). Sorry :-(

I found it pretty easy to clean. If I grated cheese I just let the parts soak in soapy dishwater for a bit. Then I spray it with water from the hose from the sink. Haven't had any problems.

I bought mine solely for cheese aging, and it works GREAT. Constant 54-55 degrees, average relative humidity (I have a weather station monitor inside it for reference) is between 70%-75%. Putting a pan of water in the bottom with some type of wick (towel, humidifier wick) adds about 2-3% to that. Had to purchase wooden cutting boards to place on the wire racks, since the racks tend to cut into my wheels, and eventually have removed all but the bottom most rack (I have a LOT of cheese).

Yes, I shred all my pizza cheeses. It works best if the soft cheese is chilled first.
