Do you live in fear of your cheese grater?

[dejr_8]

Every time I use mine I think I am going to take a slice out of my finger

 

[JerseyJanice]

Yes, that is a problem I have too.

I, too, once was afraid of slicing off the tips of my fingers with my cheese grater. Now I have a cheese grater from Pampered Chef and I no longer have that problem. The grater is like a drum that you put in a compartment and then turn a handle so it grates. My fingers are no longer near the sharp grating surface.

I tossed my cheese grater after I shaved off half my fingerprint, and use the grate blade attachment on my food processor now.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

No fear but I have shaved off some skin.

My pampered chef veggie slicer got me last year. Took hours to get the bleeding to stop, I practically had to cut off the circulation to my thumb. It still hurts if you hit it wrong. OUCH!

One time in 8th grade I had a pizza party at my house. My mom and I made the pizzas before hand (got them ready, anyway) and when I was grating cheese, I sliced off some of my knuckle skin. Problem was, it was when I'd alread almost finished grating the whole block of cheese and I couldn't find it in the bowl.

I use a salad shooter.....been using it for years.

Lots of different cheese graters but no fear.

That is like the one I have (only mine is older).

I am so glad that I am not the only one with this fear!

I actually have a scar from a grater accident. Mine is a few years old and is still razor sharp.

 

[CharliNye]

No, but this was honestly the funniest thread title I've come across in eons. I laughed.

 

[golfgal]

I buy shredded cheese, does that answer your question

 

[KristaTX]

No.

love my PC grater!!! Since I am a consultant I get all of the fun toys but the grater and the food chopper are my favs!!!

 

[fraggle551]

No, but I live in fear of the veggie peeler! I was very young and was peeling carrots and peeled off a good chunck of my finger. Ever since then I refuse to use it!

Been there...Done that. Took off a hunk of my thumb making coleslaw at a place I worked in High school. Wrapped it in duct tape and kept going.

I have no problems with grating cheese, it's grating potatoes. I was asked to make hash browns one morning, and sliced the skin off on my thumb. Since potatoes have so much water, it kept sliding and slicing so much easier than cheese.
Why do they have those spikey shredder thing on the back?? I'm always poking myself with that thing.

Please tell me you threw it out.
