BLADE OPTIONS
5mm Shredder
This 5mm shredding blade is
probably the most commonly used
when shredding. Hard (cheddar) or
soft (mozzarella) cheeses are both
possibilities. This blade is useful
for shredding apples for oatmeal or
muffins. Carrots and zucchini destined
for muffins or cakes also work well.
5mm Slicer
This blade can be used to evenly slice
zucchini, carrots, cucumber, etc. These
are nice to put on a salad to provide
some color. Anything too firm or too
soft will probably not always cut evenly
through.
3MM Slicer
Smaller shredding holes. Use this
side for finely grating hard cheeses
that you still want to be in separate
but thin pieces, such as Parmigiano-
Reggiano to sprinkle on top of pizza or
pasta. Finely grated Parm is also great
for using in breading for chicken and
eggplant, as well as a baked topping
for bread. For an easy, attractive
dessert garnish, pull out a chunk of
chocolate to grate. You can also make
bread crumbs using hardened stale or
toasted bread.
2mm Grater
This blade has rough, raspy holes. For
when you really need to chew through
something, the teeth-like edges of
these small holes are ideal. Think citrus
zest, garlic, nutmeg and hardened
brown sugar. For cheese “dust” that will
really melt into a sauce or soup, grate
it here. To get potatoes pulpy for latkes,
this is the best choice.
