Questions & Answers : Q1: What types of cheese is this hand-crank grater suitable for? A1: This grater efficiently processes hard and semi-hard cheeses, while soft or high-moisture varieties should be avoided. Q2: Can I use this grater for soft cheeses? A2: We do not recommend soft cheeses (e.g., cream cheese) due to their sticky texture. For better results: Freeze semi-soft cheeses for 10 minutes to firm them up. Q3: What other foods can I grate besides cheese? A3: This grater efficiently handles medium-hardness foods like vegetables (carrots, cucumbers), chilled dark chocolate for desserts, and nuts (almonds, hazelnuts) with gentle pressure—avoid extremely hard items like ice cubes to protect the blades.
