Does this grate soft cheese like mozzarella?

Yes, not bad, but I'd make sure the cheese was firm and cold. You would need to use the large-hole grater. This gadget works well, cleans easily, holds a good sized piece of cheese but the handle is a little awkward.

I haven't tried it with mozzarella, but I have tried it with some slightly soft cheeses, and it did fine. I would suppose that if you had the mozzarella very cold so that it is as firm as possible, it would grate OK on this grater.

I tried it, it makes a mess but it will grate it. As much as I love this cheese grater, with mozzarella, you're better off using an old fashioned flat hand grater.

Open drum definitely helps clear clogs from soft cheeses. Kasseri is probably the softest cheese we grate regularly. Mozzarella may gum up a bit, but I guarantee (again all hail the open drum) this grater would be easier to clear than other rotary styles. Happy cooking!

Works better if you freeze the cheese for 15-30mins then grate. Soft form ball does not grate very well clogs.

I'm trying to think of I've ever used this for mozzarella. I know it does well with cheddar, so I'm sure it would work fine.

It would be the regular grated cheese. I'm not sure how well the blades would do with cheese - they could get clogged. Worth a try though.

How does goat cheese compare to the consistency of butter or soft cream cheese? I have used it on soft cream cheese, NOT THE WHIPPED variety, the kind in a brick. It does work spreading out a layer of cream cheese... it has some limited success on spreading creamy peanut butter.. but it works for that too. I've had this or different versions of this product for years and I swear by it.

It works great.. as any soft cheeses it does smear and break up.. but by far this is a GREAT cheese grater. �

Well, I've never really tried to shred that type of cheese, so I can't really say. It's a rather soft cheese.

Yes it melts the cheese as in grilled cheeses. I bought it for a Christmas present for my 17 yr old who loves paninis. I is easy to use and quick clean up. I would recommend it. There is a model that the plates come off but in my opinion the difference in price is not worth it. I hope that helps.

Haven't tried it, but I am guessing it would "chop" hard cheese. I think of grating as taking it over a surface. But I think it would "chop" it up just fine.

I have never grate cheese in a food processor. However (and this is only a guess), if the cheese is hard, then I would try a fast pulse to see if that works. As long as it's hard cheese, it sounds as if quick pulses should work. I wouldn't try soft cheeses, however. I would guess that soft cheeses would be gummy and stick to the blades.

I'd chill the soft cheese first and then I'd dip the slicer into water before trying it. I haven't tried this slicer on soft cheese myself, because I don't buy them because I can't find any U.S. soft cheeses that match the flavor of those I ate in France. Sorry.

Probably could, I have never done cheese with this disc. I have always used my grater disc for doing my grated cheese. Worth a try though. You can't go wrong with any of the Cuisinart discs.

Yes it does heat. Do not waste your money if you want something that is deep. We wanted a combo that was deep. It does toasted cheese ok just do not add much else.

I have only used it on hard cheese so far. It has worked straight to the end of the block.

This does not taste like parmesan cheese. We tried it but gave it away it was as bad as the sliced. We had been using their original parmesan cheese but for some reason they discontinued it. Hope this helps but I would pass.

It grates parmesian cheese just like u wld buy it in a container. I don't like it as good as the old one but I think it's great.

I really do not know. I purchased this to make fresh mozzarella cheese (buffalo cheese). Sorry :-(

No it doesn't. We mostly just grate cheese and haven't had that issue. We absolutely love this grater!

I have really had good luck with mine. I tried to grate all my "Italian" type cheeses like this. Hope it works out well for you.
