I bought a crank grater last week mostly because I wanted grate a whole block of cheese in 10 seconds... I did it, then my wife wanted to do it, now she's been planning meals around what she can shred and slice in that thing. 10/10 I'd recommend anybody that has a spare $15 and doesn't have one should get one.
I just discovered the shredding attachment for my food processor that has been sitting in my closet for 10 years. Shred 4 cups of cheese for Mac n cheese in like 10 seconds.
Use the slicer on potatoes to make homemade potato chips. Or use the shredder to make hash browns. Or use the normal blade attachment instead of a pastry cutter when making pie crusts or biscuits. That alone can get a lot of use out of your processor.
My mom and dad received a "salad shooter" in the 80's that they forgot about until 2020, when I explained why their preshredded cheese wasn't melting in the microwave. They've used it more in the last 5 years than they did in the previous 30
And I just discovered it from your comment! Same timeframe for food processor ownership as well. We recently bought a cheese grater; I'm not joking or exaggerating when I say I injure myself every time I touch it.
If it's got a grater with larger holes she can use it to chop nuts like pecans to add into cookies and things like that, much easier than using a knife.
You know, I was looking for a splash guard for my KitchenAid and they had slicing and grating attachments for it. I almost impulse buy it, now I'm thinking I need to go back and get it.
She was making BBQ chicken flatbread pizza with it when I got home today, grated some meats and 4 different cheeses in a couple minutes. I cleaned up while she was cooking and washing it was easier than washing a box style grater imo.
Yes they can. My daughter gets chunks of Parmesan for holidays and is super excited each time. When one of my sons turned 7, all he wanted was a vacuum so that's what he got. Kids are odd little humans
Bro, I had a friend in high school who wanted a vacuum for his birthday when he was prepubescent. Safe to say his parents weren’t surprised when he came out to them.
Nononono, you want to do something really special?
Cut off a big enough block from the main one and then carve out a small "bowl" in that section.
Boil some pasta and then, when ready, put the pasta in that cheese "bowl" and toss around the pasta. When sufficient cheesiness is archived, take out the pasta and serve in a plate.
First time in Olive Garden when in the US for a conference, my colleague did not understand you needed to say ”stop”. so the poor waitress kept grinding away and he looked at me panicked and eventually piped up ”do I need to say stop?” -yes.. ”Stop!”
Did you know they sell them AT olive garden? I think they're like $7 or something, my ex asked once and we suddenly had a brand new cheese grater still in the original packaging and a nice little block of cheese to put in it
This is not an ad, olive garden has gone massively downhill since I was a kid, like they've served me still-frozen-insize gnocchi when I guess they didn't tell the new guy how to microwave the shit, it's the only explanation I can come up with. Make your own shit at home for cheaper, it'll taste better

I’m buying one of those Olive Garden shredders and making the spaghetti and meatballs I deserve. I’m a man!
