Can this grate cheeses like cheddar cheese?

I bought this strictly for parmesan...it handles very hard cheeses though, as Wade says, not as well as I remember my old (25+ years) Zyliss. The hopper is quite small. For cheddar I use the Microplane Professional series, extra coarse, which produces larger shreds. I haven't tried the other Microplane graters, though the medium two-way grater sounds interesting. I like these much better than a box grater, slips easily into dishwasher. I also strongly recommend spending just a bit more for the Professional series with steel handle.

would this work with soft cheeses like mozzarella ?

Hi there, I don't think so. It is great for hard cheeses and makes it very fine. I think Mozzarella would clog it up.

Can this be put in the dishwasher?

I did put it in the dishwasher the one time I used it. It survived the experience but not so much my cheese . I found it difficult to grate hard cheese .

My drum is old, can I get a spare drum for this?

Im not sure, mine is brand new. I would just order a new one, they are inexpensive enough and well worth it

Best cheese grater on the planet!

This rotary cheese grater from Zyliss is worth its price. This is my fourth cheese grater in 3 years and this one is not metallic with sharp edges, it is heavy duty plastic, cannot pinch my hands and is beautifully built. I think this will be my last cheese grater! It’s great!!
