DCG Barrel Cheese Grater - Is it Supposed to be Sharp? | Tips & Troubleshooting

[pamperedlinda]

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 don't remember mine being "sharp". I do love the thing though! I find it easier to grate cheese by warming cheddar cheeses in the microwave. You have to do it in pieces and right before you grate it but I do love it. It's one of the first PC items I bought.

I don't recall mine being sharp like that either.

Mine's not really sharp, either. It grates OK, but sometimes the softer-type cheese gets stuck in the drum and I have to get it out with a knife.


I made those parmesan crisps last night with it, the ones from the 29 minutes that go with the shrimp. Mmmm, made the house smell wonderful.
