I've read here before the craziest things others of this article in the reviews. I myself can only say: I am running. :) Prerequisite but would be two things. On the one hand we should not necessarily be random chunks of cheese in mill. Parmesan can be, even if it comes from the cooling, cut quite outstanding fitting justice. The piece should just be up to the same size that it runs between the two Plastikbegrenzern. Then the pressure on the cheese is transferred directly to the grater and not on the plastic wheels. On the other hand, it is advisable to let the cheese slightly warm at room temperature. This not only improves the flavor but also facilitates the rub. For a slightly softer cheese runs with less effort on the grater. If I however an unsuitable piece of cheese with a food temperature of approximately +7 degrees through the mill gag I already need but some force. From my perspective, everything clear user error. As regards the quality. In my package, there is no evidence that the product (Made in Germany) was produced in Asia. This does not mean, however, that it has not been so. Anyway. Good stainless steel processing and easy to clean. In short: I am running. :)
