If you are a lover of a Russian cuisine and like potato pancakes (Draniki) it's wonderful to grate potato. I couldn't find anything on a market for a long time that would grate potato in a food processor as fine as this blade. Now I can make potato pancakes in 10 min. Perfect for it!

The disc does a superb job of grating hard cheeses but small pieces do tend to get wedged under the lid which is annoying but still using this is a thousand times better than attempting to grate the cheese by hand, or directly in the processor bowl, especially a large portion. I grated about a pound of romano cheese within seconds. I thought cleaning it was going to be a nightmare but I just ran it under some very hot water to get the tiny specs of cheese out of the teeth. This is a worthwhile disc to add to your collection.

I was first surprised when I hefted this disc -- it is substantial -- much beefier than the other slicer and juliene discs. I have grated carrots and parmesan cheese with it and it is fast and works great. As with all discs the last sliver of material to be grated doesn't get grated; rather, it is trapped between the cover assembly and the grater disc. Thus if you want to grate an infinitesimally small amount of material the waste will be unacceptable. On the other hand for power grating you've got something here. Also -- who cares if you waste a bit of a carrot.

It works as advertised. It is fantastic for large grating jobs and the price is reasonable once you heft the thing. It is substantial. Finally, it completed my collection of accesories for my food processor. No more parts to buy.

I am very particular about how my Parmesan cheese is grated and this does the trick. Fluffy, not stringy. It is so much easier than a box grater or hand held model.

Grating very hard Italian cheese by hand was difficult and slow, so this disc makes a huge difference. The disc itself, while bearing the Cuisinart name, was made in China, but seems manufactured to high standards. My only complaint is that some of the cheese remains ungrated and gets wedged under the disc. However, overall the disc does a great job of producing very fine cheese. I have not tried it on anything other than cheese.

This blade is just fantastic. A bit expensive, as i have purchased food processors for less money. but i highly recommend it if you like to grate your own fresh parmigiano cheese.

I initially bought this blade with the intention of using it to grate cheese, a task which it handles perfectly. Harder cheeses work best, I've found, but softer cheeses can also be shredded if frozen for a short while so that they firm up. As other reviews have noted, don't expect to be able to shred the entire quantity -- there will always be a tiny sliver of material that ends up trapped between the cover and the disc.

I've also shredded potatoes with this disc. Granted, it's not something that I do very often, but when I need them, it's certainly a time-saver compared to doing it by hand.

Overall, I'd say this is an excellent addition which rounds out the stock discs that came with my Cuisinart processor.

This item is just awesome, i grate coconut alot to make pastry almost every week. It use to take me two hours or more manually, but with the grater disc 30min!!! or less. I only wish there was a larger one about twice the size.

Although I consider this attachment a bit costly I would have to recommend this attachment for it's ability to quickly and efficiently grind my wedges of Parmesan and Romano cheeses.

I love this disc it grates parm cheese very fast and it is really fine like the cheese out of a can. It took me for ever to hand grate the cheese before. A little pricey but well worth it if you eat a lot of Italian or make dressings for salads.
