Does the Rotary Grater Only Produce Finely Shredded Items?

[babieshay27]

I have a customer that would like to know if the rotary grater only produces finely shredded items. She said she doesn't like to use finely shredded cheeses. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

I don't see any other way for whatever you shred in there to be anything but fine! I have used it for cheese and chocolate and that is what I got...very finely grated cheese and chocolate!

She can use the UM for a thicker shred.

Yeah...if she is looking for a shred like on a box shredder, the UM blade will do that. The Rotary Grater is a smaller sized hole, so it is a finer shred than that. (Probably about half the size of a box grater) But...the shred on the RG is bigger than our microplane grater!

Not sure if there is a thread anywhere else about the rotary grater but just had to comment...

I am not impressed with this product. It is probably the first PC product that I can say this about. I don't like the "strings" produced. I know you can change directions when turning to help decrease this but that is not the point of a rotary grater. Also, the lever feels really flimsy when pressing the cheese down into the wheel. I for one love the old style better. Too bad I gave it to a family member when I earned this one in SA, but before I had tried it out.

Thanks for listen to my whine!

I agree- I do not like the grater either- In fact, I no longer use it with my fajita shows, because it is such a mess- I just do not mention it at all, and we do not put cheese on the fajitas. Maybe I do not understand it- the cheese comes out in long, thin strands, and it all clumps together- please, help me love this product!!!!
