Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid 9 and 12-Cup Food Processor Parmesan/Ice Grating Disc
Customer Review: Not Only an Ice Blade
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this blade for the purpose of grating carrots for carrot cake. I previously used the recommended shredder but this blade grated the carrots perfectly and my cake was consistent with carrot flavor-as opposed to the strands of shreds which were throughout my cake when I used the shredder. The flavor of the cake was much richer and moister. I plan on trying other veggies to grate for baking purposes.
The blade is great! It would have taken me a long time to grate all those carrots by hand. The blade is a real energy and time saver and does a much better job
Customer Review: The Disc Performs as Advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this Disc two weeks ago, and have used it approximately 15 times to grate ice and twice to grate cheese. It performs both functions perfectly. The ice is approximately the consistency of snow and when packed into a glass makes a perfect cooler for your drink. My first time grating ice, I packed the cubes in the feed tube and turned on the machine. What a noise! I had not placed the pusher on top of the cubes, and a few small chunks flew out and over the tube. I guess noise is something one should expect when grating such a hard material as ice. I'm used to the noise now and it does not bother me. Using the pusher insures nothing flies up the tube. The disc is simple, does what it is purposed to do, and seems just as well constructed as the discs which were included with the food processor originally. No complaints. I would not hesitate to purchase it again.
It is offered as part of a disc package, but I have no need for the other discs, and the reviews I've read incline me to think that their performance is lacking.
Buy this disc, and you'll have all the grating power you need. I have one of the round grater attachments for my KitchenAid mixer, and this does a much better job with much less mess and much less cleanup.
Customer Review: food processor grating disc
Summary: 4 Stars
Other than it seems a bit pricey for such a simple part, the disc grates hard cheeses beautifully.Customer Review: quickly fell apart
Summary: 2 Stars
The 4th time I used this disk, the two plastic parts of the disk separated. The metal disk remained attached to one of those pieces. Glue might fix the problem. I used this disk only for grating Parmesan cheese. I now use a hand-held microplane or a hand-held Zyliss rotary grater for grating hard cheese - both are cheaper and way more durable than this disk.
