Ditto that! I do not like the mandolin for grating cheese and I'm not overly fond of the the new grater either - unless it's parmesan. At home, I use my trusty box grater!ChefBeckyD said:The only cheese I ever grate at shows is Parmesan.....

Everything else, I just tell my host to get the pre-grated. OR I sometimes offer to bring the cheese.
In reality, most hosts aren't going to grate other cheeses much anyway. Here, at least, it's just as cheap to buy the pre-grated. I buy my cheese pre-grated at Costco for $9.97 per 5 lbs, and bag it into ziploc freezer bags. It's about $1 per 2 cup bag....(same size bag that the grocery stores sell for $2-$4 per bag.)
Di_Can_Cook said:Regarding cheese grating .... I will grate cheese with the mandoline WITH THE GUARD OFF. This is because the grater blade does not "engage" when the guard passes over it like the other blades. When I get to about 1/4 of the cheese left in the block, it's generally time to stop.
Regarding other products ... I do not plan to get a new garlic press, for example. The only thing that has changed is the tool that snaps into the handle instead of the top. Looks identical except for the "Barbie Brush." I also don't mind taking older style cut and slice or crinkle cutters, since all that's changed is the handle.

chefann said:Whether I take the old or new is dependent on a couple of things: whether I have the new one, and how big a change it was. I wouldn't take the USG instead of the Mandoline. But I have been known to take the old style Mini Serving Spatula when I can't find my new one in the drawer. The handle change is so small and doesn't affect the performance of the product.
