KitchenAid Fresh Prep Slicer/Shredder, 1, White

If you're thinking about buying this, DO IT.I had been wanting it for a while but waited until my rotary grater broke to finally purchase it, and honestly I wish I had just done it sooner! It's so much easier and takes almost effort on my part. It's not quite as fast as those rotary graters where you spin it yourself, but again, this is significantly less effort than those. If you're someone who uses fresh shredded cheese often, it is 100% worth purchasing.The only issue I've had is occasionally some cheese getting stuck in between the grater and the piece that holds it, but that's a price I'm willing to pay for the overall convenience of this. I've had it for a few months now and it's held up very well with regular use. It's much safer than regular graters and thanks to the pieces you use to push the cheese down with, there's no having to worry about sliced fingers.Overall this is just a very good product and worth every penny. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about purchasing!

This is absolutely amazing and worth every penny. I specifically got it to help with shredding my own cheeses, and let me tell you — it has made that process a total cinch! No more wrestling with a box grater or wasting time; this attachment makes quick, effortless work of blocks of cheese. I use it most when making homemade mac-and-cheese, and the difference in taste is like night and day! Shredding your own cheese means you avoid the anti-caking agents and preservatives found in pre-shredded cheeses, and it melts so much smoother and tastes a hundred times better — trust me! This attachment makes it so easy that I’ll never go back to bagged cheese again! It’s also a breeze to clean and super simple to attach to my KitchenAid mixer. If you’re serious about leveling up your cooking, especially cheesy dishes, this is a must-have to have in your arsenal!

So, my house doesn't buy shredded cheese, something about wax and wood puld always turned me off of the stuff. Once a week, we would grate a block of cheese and bag it.My wife asked for a crank one and I was onboard, if you have ever grated a knuckle when doing it old school, you know the struggle is real. Me being me... If I'm going to buy a new one for convenience, what is more convenient than hitting button and just pushing it through! If you have a KitchenAid mixer and grate cheese, even just once a month... Spend the extra coin and get this puppy.I see more homemade pizza nights in our future..

I was in the market for a cheese shredder and stumbled across the gem. Not only did it make shredding cheese a breeze, but it has been fun using it to slice and spiral other veggies as well! Clean up is quick, and storage is easy.

For a family who grates a lot of cheese, I would recommend this. It is easy to use and does a good job by grating fresh cheese.My only complaint is that a small amount of cheese will get stuck on the outer wall and will not grate. This is not a deal breaker but a minor issue. I do not mind the cleanup, but you cannot run in the dishwasher and must clean by hand. It is not recommended to run underneath the faucet.

Love these attachments! I kept cutting my fingers on the manual mandolin, so when I got this, life was better. Shredding and slicing are great, my fingers are safe from the blades, and I saved to box for ease of storing the pieces after use.Happy to spend that kind of money on something like this.

Our family adores cheese! We layer it in casseroles, top it with Panko crumbs, sprinkle it on scrambled eggs, add it to blender sauces, and so much more. One thing we learned in all this is to grate it ourselves. Store bought shredded cheese has anit-caking agents like cornstarch to keep it from clumping but that interferes with a lot of recipes (like Mac & Cheese). We have the biggest KitchenAid mixer available for home use so we got to work.The grating attachment blade works extremely well especially for medium to hard cheeses. My husband is contantly overdoing the amount because it is so fun to use. Big batches of shredded potatoes are a breeze. We set a pot full of salted ice water underneath the opening and shred right into it. Afterward, it is simple to drain and blot dry for use in hash brown recipes on our outdoor griddle. YUM!Uniform slicing for large casseroles is a delight. Same process with salted water. Drain, dry, and then layer them easily for Scalloped Cheesy Potatoes. This also works on our older, smaller KA mixer. I love the brand because it is sturdy and powerful.

I love this attachment! I use it more than I thought I would. Makes cooking dishes that include shredded cheese so much easier and fast!
