But I'm going to resist the temptation. It just looks like so much fun to put the cheese through one while you're turning the handle, and I know everyone says that bagged shredded cheese isn't as good as fresh shredded cheese off the block because of additives, but in reality I have never had any complaint about using bagged shredded cheese and I usually freeze mine first too.
And I'm lazy so while cranking the cheese out looks like fun, what's not fun is then having to measure it instead of just knowing how much you're using out of a two cup package, and the other thing that's not fun is then having to store any leftover in a baggie. I'm presuming since everyone says those additives have to be put in to keep it separated, that storing leftovers of shredded cheese off the block wouldn't really work out.
So as usual, I guess it's something I don't need or want. I did compare prices on the cheese itself as far as buying and block or buying shredded in a bag and at least at Kroger it's the same difference so there's no cost savings there at least for where I shop.
