Would you please name the microplane or post an image of the one
you're talking about? I have several, but they shred.

It sounded like that to me too. I had two suggestions for his problem. I
did not mean to imply that DavidW was drunk. Mostly I was making a dig
at folks that drink and post. I enjoy poking fun at drunks. They deserve
to be laughed at.

I don't know if it's typical but it's what I would do. For larger pasta
shapes and heavier sauces, I use larger cheese pieces. For something like
angel hair or spaghetti I would use the more powdery stuff.

Do you have a meat mincer/grinder? You can buy grating and slicing
attachments for those. It is what I use.

Gosh that is what I used to use I think I still have one somewhere I
just tend to use the one on the machine. Maybe I should dig it out for
small amounts

That is pretty much how the attachment on my mincer works))

I've seen hand powered units in the shops that do the same thing. Similar

I use this and it doesnt shred... or not what I would call shredding

How do you know they're drunk when they post? Maybe you're drunk when you
read the posts so you think they're drunk. LOL

Or, should you happen to have a KitchenAid stand mixer, their conical
attachment comes with both a shredding cone and a grating cone that do a
great job. Better than my food processor, for sure.

You must be doing something wrong or the cheese you have is an old,
hard, dried out brick. I use a hand-held microplane. It is labeled
'fine.' It grates finer than I would like, but I love the results
when I am zesting citrus. I could get an additional microplane, but
why bother? Anyway, get a new device that is still sharp or don't
store such a large block of cheese that it dries out.

Lots of people have invalid email addresses. What, new posters aren't
allowed? I didn't think the question was dumb. It was on topic and
wasn't a request for "recipes from Europe".

Mine too. I used to have a food processor with a slicer and grater disc but
it never worked very well for me.

True. There are lots of people using invalid email addresses. There are
a lot of them in my filter.

Why who you ask that? Where did I say they are not allowed. I simply
said that I assumed it was the product of a summer break. I didn't
bother replying and I pretty well ignored the thread, admittedly on the
assumption that it was just a matter of people replying to a troll.
So... I went back and read his replies. He wants grated Parmesan but
objects to the grind he got from the store, wants am electric gizmo to
do it for him and doesn't think that he will be able to tell the
difference if his freshly grated Parmesan has been sitting around for a
long time. I am not discounting summer break.

That's how I do it and it works. It's not as fine as what you get

People complain about not wanting to use their FP because it's so much
trouble to clean... well, I feel that way about my rotor grater. It's
a real PITA. It's hard to hold because the handles are so far apart
and grating isn't easy - then I have to take it apart and clean it.
Bah.

Grating quality cheese in large quantity well in advance of use you
may as well buy the doodoo dust in the shiney green TP tube.

Mine is not Pampered Chef, but the same idea. Put a chunk in and you
have plenty of grated cheese in a few turns. Fresh and full of flavor
right at the table. You can easily do a large quantity if needed.

LOL well I have to take the attachment off my mincer to wash each time I use
it. I have started to grate a lot and freeze it in a box. All I need to do
is shake the box and it is loose

Did you notice I posted some pics?

I don't do Kitchen Aid attachments because 1. They're expensive and 2.
DD has just about everything I want, so I borrow from her. But I
looked for the grater shredder and wow - not a bad price and it's a
set! Free shipping, even if you don't have Prime.

Mine works just fine, but KA has a set of 4 cones: two shredding
cones, fine and coarse + two slicing cones, thin and thick for about
$10 each. Not bad. I've texted DD to see if she has it already. If
she doesn't, I'll order the set today.

Your new set sounds pretty much like the attachments I have for my mincer.

Those things look like a real hoot to use. One of these days...

I don't/can't drink alcohol. That stuff is poison to my system. If I
understand you correctly, you're saying that some of the posters here
are writing their nasty crap while completely sober. Holy shit man, that
never entered my mind. My condolences to their families! LOL

That's the way Usenet rolls these days. New posters are viewed with
suspicion. The lack of new blood is partly the reason for Usenet's
moribund state. Like I said, Americans are short-sighted. I don't
understand the part about the invalid email address either.

I don't like the way she blithely said "put it in the dishwasher". I
treat anything that slices or grates the same way I treat my knives
and they never go into the dishwasher.
