What is grater: Definition and 49 Discussions

at my last cooking show, i passed around my microplane grater and let each guest shred her own parmesan over the soup we made. well, when i went to wash it, the frame of the microplane was broken in two places (if the metal was not there, it would have been broken in half. do i adjust it, or...

Is the DCG barrell (large one) supposed to be sharp? I just took mine out of the d/w and I can run my fingers around it and it isn't sharp (like the box grater is really sharp). Is that why it doesn't work so good maybe?

I am having trouble with the release of the handle on the Microplane Grater. Could someone give me easy instructions on how to get it out the locked position. I have tried and tried with no success. This is a product that I have not used at my cooking shows because I can't get it unlocked...

Ok, i am trying to simply unlock mine..and use it for the first time..I read in the prod. description to pull towards the arrow, then lift up and nothing... I AM ABOUT TO SCREAM! I can't find an online product video on this one.. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!

I can't take the credit for this discovery, this is an email I just got from my upline that she got from someone else: Slide the clear cover off the top, turn it over and slide it UNDERNEATH the grater, enabling you to be able to grate directly onto the cover with no mess. NOT ONLY will it...

If anyone missed it last night... They showed the punk rock mom making the tore up jeans w/ the son. WELLLLLLL, She was using the Deluxe Cheese Grater!

OK. I guess I'm having an un-bright moment, but how exactly do you use nuts or chocolate chips in the Microplane Adjustable Grater? Each time I try to fill the food holder with nuts and then try to put it on the grater, the nuts go all over the counter. I have looked at the instructions, but...

I received a call from a customer wondering if our grate container would fit a PC cheese grater she got about 5 years ago. Anyone know????:(

I love this thing... but can't seem to figure out if there is a way to store the food hopper thingy with the rest of the grater. Am I missing something? Or do you just store it separately. Thanks! Rachel

A customer at my last show has lost the crank to her deluxe cheese grater. How can I get another one of these? Is there a replacement parts order number or something? Anyone have any suggestions?

I used my deluxe cheese grater for grating carrots to make the potstickers and they stained it. How do you get that off???????? Thanks in advance!

I just recieved mySS2 :) but can not get the grater open, despite following directions-any tips?

Please give me your best cheese grater tips! I've heard the put the soft cheese in the microwave to bring the oils out and keep it from sticking to the grater.... however this didn't work the last time I did mozzerella and it all stuck in the barrel. Do you have any tips

Oh, my goodness!! I was making the Chocolate Tiramisu cake at a show tonight (2nd tiramisu cake since Sept 1) The only thing I don't like to grate in our Deluxe Cheese Grater is chocolate chips, but that's what the recipe says to use. I'd already shown the guests my new products, and one of...

I just got my kit yesterday and have yet to schedule my first show, but I have noticed most of the savoury recipes have got some sort of cheese in them. As I am allergic to cheese and hate handling the stuff , has anyone got any ideas I could use to show the cheese grater to it's best effect...

I attempted making the Chocolate-Banana Phyllo Bundles from the new Seasons Best at home this past weekend. All went well except for when I tried to grate the chocolate chips. I found that they all just clumped together and it was extremely difficult. I actually gave up and just put the...

Hi all!! Just wanted to let you guys know that I just got home from a show and I told the "cheese story" and sold FIVE cheese graters!!! I couldn't believe it!!! Thanks for the info.....keep it coming please! :p

Hi Girls -- and guys? I have a great tip for the Deluxe Cheese grater --- when using the large barrel for softer cheeses (mozza/cheddar), pop the cheese in the microwave until just softened at the edges (not melted). This brings the oils to the surface and it makes grating much much...

The best tip I have found for the cheese grater is to cut your cheese in large chunks that will fit into the unit, put on a plate, and microwave at full power for 10 seconds -- no longer. Everyone who has tried this has been totally amazed at the results. I now love to demo the grater with...
