Frequently Asked Questions
What types of cheese graters work best for pizza shops?
Continuous-feed electric cheese graters work best for pizza shops grating mozzarella in volume. They process whole blocks quickly and produce shreds at the right size for even melting on pizza, calzones, and pasta dishes.
How much cheese can commercial cheese graters process per hour?
Throughput varies by model. Smaller commercial cheese graters handle 50 to 100 pounds per hour, while heavy-duty models grate 300 pounds or more per hour for pizza chains, restaurants, and food production facilities.
Which brands of cheese graters offer the best durability?
Omcan supplies cheese graters built for high-volume commercial use. Their motors and stainless steel construction handle continuous grating in pizza shops, Italian restaurants, and food prep operations.
Are cheese graters better than processors for shredded cheese?
Yes. Cheese graters produce uniform shreds at the right size for pizza, salads, and pasta. Food Processors chop more aggressively and don't produce the long, even strands that proper cheese graters deliver.
Can cheese graters handle hard cheeses like Parmesan and Romano?
Yes, with the correct grating drum. Cheese graters with fine drums handle hard cheeses for finishing pasta and salads. Coarser drums work better for mozzarella and softer cheeses on pizzas and casseroles.
Do cheese graters work for chocolate and nuts?
Some do. Heavy-duty cheese graters with appropriate drums also grate chocolate, nuts, and dried bread for breadcrumbs. Always check the manufacturer's specs to confirm safe use beyond cheese.
Should cheese graters have multiple grating drums?
Yes. Cheese graters with interchangeable drums handle different cheese types and grating sizes from one machine. This versatility matters in kitchens producing varied menu items, similar to multi-attachment value found in Food Processors.
