I Bought This A Month Ago And Couldn’t Be Happier With It…

Needed it grate cheese easier, especially with the smaller size grating. Also to grate carrots and other veggies for salads. And carrots for carrot bread, that’s a chore to get enough because carrots are hard. We’ve had tasty baked potato chips using the slicer to make very thin slices.

When I received it I opened it up and put it together. It was smaller and reminded me of a child’s toy. But when I used it this grater reminded me of churning butter as a child when I was about 4 years old. My sisters and I all wanted to be the first to get to use that churn. My aunt remarked that she wouldn’t have bought an electric butter churn if she knew we would be churning the butter for her. This grater is easy and as fun as the butter churn. I have given the boy the job of grating cheese when I am making pizza, Brazilian Tapioca Cheese Rolls and casseroles. But now I want to do it more. I bought this over a month ago.

@HumanEarth could gently try on one of them and see if they get sharper.

Yeah, I try it

Patty I am surprised you dont have a big giant 300 pound kitchenaid mixer with the grating attachment!!

@icedsky Am tempted to get that just for kneading bread. But with all the attachments wouldn’t need counter space for the other gadgets.

I have one of these, which will do if I grate Parmesan cheese. For carrots and so on, I have to shred using my food processor, because my wrists are so damaged.

@cherokeepatti Sometimes it takes a LOT of people to raise a child. My own Aunt Dorothy was a lovely influence in my life.

@cherokeepatti Going to go make dinner...talk later!

@4meAndyou yeah his great-grandmother did till he was in first grade. His aunt started to and then tossed him to us because he peeped out to her brother and sister in law during a visit that she was frequenting the gambling casino at night very often. He called her up and chewed her out. He was a preacher until his wife caught him the second time with a young woman he worked with for the second time. She is half his age and the wife divorced him. But anyway…we wanted him and his sister here anyway. Sister wanted to stay with the aunt because they were wealthy and usually went out to dinner, she had a big room etc. etc. She regretted it later. Aunt is bipolar and a personality problem. She said it was narcissism and sounded like it. She had her wealthy husband wrapped around her little finger.
All for gadgets that make things easier in the kitchen.

@Sojournersoul They use up space but I need to organize better. I can put some things I don’t use often out in the garage on a designated shelf. I need to make that my project when it warms up enough to open the garage door and let warm air inside.
Nice. I still use the old fashioned box grater.

@BizSuitStacy my arms give out sometimes. I started asking the boy to do it but sometimes he’s not here. I am hanging onto my graters though. It saves a lot of time too.

How difficult is it to clean after using it?
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@IM5688 Very easy if you don’t let the cheese dry and not that hard if you soak it in warm water for a few minutes before cleaning…in fact easier than I thought it would be. I don’t have as much energy or strength to use the other hand graters so I really needed it. Get tired of asking the boy all the time to help plus I am feeling better and wanting to cook when he’s not there.
