(2) Grating Operation: Again, prepare the product
as to allow insertion into the feed chute. Consider
which chute will be used. As an example, placement
of carrots horizontally in the large chute will result in
a long grated product, while vertical insertion in the
smaller chute will result in a short grated product. It
is recommended that chilled cheese be used when
grated cheese is desired, otherwise a gumminess may
result. A fine coating of cornstarch applied to the
cheese before grating will aid in keeping the finished
product separated. A fine coating of cornstarch will
not be visible and is tasteless. Grating cheese is one
of the most trying processes and may cause over-
heating of the motor if not done in the recommended
manner. It is recommended that a slight pulsating
pressure be applied with the pusher while grating,
alternating slight pressure on the pusherno pres-
surecontinuing in this manner until the block of
cheese is completely grated. It is recommended that
the cheese be prepared to fit the opening in volumes
which will permit motor cool-down time during long
production runs.
(3) Julienne Operation: Insertion of the product to
be cut must be horizontal if a long stick is to be
achieved, e.g., squash sticks. Vertical insertion will
result in finely chopped products, e.g., chopped cel-
ery. A finely chopped onion product may also be
obtained with this operation.
