Perfect Parmesan
I am very particular about how my Parmesan cheese is grated and this does the trick. Fluffy, not stringy. It is so much easier than a box grater or hand held model.
Great Grater Disc
I was first surprised when I hefted this disc -- it is substantial -- much beefier than the other slicer and juliene discs. I have grated carrots and parmesan cheese with it and it is fast and works great. As with all discs the last sliver of material to be grated doesn't get grated; rather, it is trapped between the cover assembly and the grater disc. Thus if you want to grate an infinitesimally small amount of material the waste will be unacceptable. On the other hand for power grating you've got something here. Also -- who cares if you waste a bit of a carrot.
It works as advertised. It is fantastic for large grating jobs and the price is reasonable once you heft the thing. It is substantial. Finally, it completed my collection ... Read More
Most Used Disc!
I've own this for a year and it's the most used of all my discs.I have read concerns about cleanup but the disc is always spotless out of my dishwasher.
Fine Grater
The disc does a superb job of grating hard cheeses but small pieces do tend to get wedged under the lid which is annoying but still using this is a thousand times better than attempting to grate the cheese by hand, or directly in the processor bowl, especially a large portion. I grated about a pound of romano cheese within seconds. I thought cleaning it was going to be a nightmare but I just ran it under some very hot water to get the tiny specs of cheese out of the teeth. This is a worthwhile disc to add to your collection.
Fine grater disc works fine
Grating very hard Italian cheese by hand was difficult and slow, so this disc makes a huge difference. The disc itself, while bearing the Cuisinart name, was made in China, but seems manufactured to high standards. My only complaint is that some of the cheese remains ungrated and gets wedged under the disc. However, overall the disc does a great job of producing very fine cheese. I have not tried it on anything other than cheese.
