  1. Does anyone know if there's a decent electric cheese grater available to buy in the UK?

    Surely there must be some sort of gadget that can take away the effort of having to grate a slab of
    cheddar??? I've seen in supermarkets that you can buy packs of cheese already grated, but this is
    just far too lazy (and probably expensive!!)

    Anyone know where i can order one from and have any good experiences using it?

    Thanks in advance

    We use a Magimix 5100, One kilogram cut into five. Brrp, Brrp, Brrp, Brrp, Brrp, Done apart from
    washing up.

    May be a bit expensive though :-( I will also do most other mixing, slicing, grating, juicing jobs
    as well :-)

    It's called a food processor. Most come with grating disks of various sizes.

    If I have a lot of cheese to do, I use the Magimix but if that is all you are going to use it for,
    it works out a bit expensive.

    I don't have one, but seems like people use them to grate cheese ... do they sell Salad Shooters
    in the UK?

    I'm sure there are many to choose from... what quantity of cheese are you looking to grate?

    Cheddar isn't grated, it's generally not dry enough, not even when well aged... you must mean
    *shredded*. One of the best ways to shred cheddar is with a meat grinder.

    That would probably be the ideal tool for making a large quantity of a southern favorite Pimento
    Cheese for sandwiches. I just use my cuisinart for large amounts and hand grater for smaller. Goomba

    That's what I use too - and all the bits go in the dishwasher, so washing up is no problem!

    Love my juicer! And I didn't think it was an expensive machine for the use I give it!

    Large-drum rotary grater. Powered, I believe.

    It's an electric device that you use to slice and shred for salads, whatever. I went to
    saladshooter.comsaladshooter.com for a joke, sure enough they have a site. Look around and you'll find a
    picture of one. I have no idea if they make them for use in the UK.

    We have a 20 year old mouli grater which does the job just fine for two or three sandwiches - of
    course if you have to grate a few tons of cheese I suppose it *might* be worth getting an
    electric version.

    Have found its still available

    Thanks Nancy. Looks a bit like the slicer Kenwood brought out before Christmas. I have an attachment
    for the KitchenAid that does similar things but it is never used - mainly because by the time I have
    got it out and attached to the mixer, I could have done the job by hand.

    I have the rotary attachment for my KitchenAid - so I don't need the Salad Shooter, either!

    If you have lots to grate, the shredder disk on a food processor works well. The electric graters we
    use for parmigiano don't work on softer cheeses worth a darn. I sometimes use the Mouli, but it
    clogs, does small pieces at a time and generally isn't all that efficient.

    Nah - the gun laws are very strict and salads are a protected species.

    I was wondering if there was anything smaller than a full size food processor, made just for
    grating cheese.

    By the time i've got it out the cupboard, put the right attachment on to it, i could have done the
    job by hand.

    Which is why we buy cooking cheese in 1kg lumps. Then we store the result in the freezer in 500g
    margerine tubs.
