If you have a food processor, then you don't need a grater, right?!
I just bought a food processor from a classified ad!. It was a great bargain! I'm a novice to the gadget world, so I am wondering, is this a replacement for a grater also!?

Your processor should have come with the grater blade!. WIch is why I think you are asking about this!.
I love my grater attatchemnt on my processor if I am making large amounts of hashborwns or if I am shreeding carrots or zucchini for broads, or a lot of cheese etc!.!.!.!.
But it is a lot of hassel if you only need to shred say one carrot or another small amount of something!.
I have just a thin grader for quick things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Giggle giggle! from another major gadget collector of kitchen clutter, you need both!! and you will also need a grinder both the coffee style grinder and the hand crank or electric food grinder!.
The food processor is a great thing, but has a tendancy to make everything into a puree rather than tiny chunks like a grinder would or a grater would!.
The more gadgets you can clutter your kitchen cabinets with that are useful, the more toys you have to play with! I just got an electric bread machine and an electric crepe cooker! to go with the wafflers and griddles and other non essential gadgets in my kitchen!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

We use the food processor for everything, from grating cheese, chipping semi-frozen beef steak to use for fajitas or philly cheese steaks, make pie dough, chopping down browned hamburger into smaller pieces for sloppy joes and tacos instead of having chunks of hamburger in it, grating zucchini for zucchini bread!. We have three different food processors, one from tupperware that is like a hand chopper we use to make dice onions and peppers for fajitas and the like, and we use it to make omelets!. We have a smaller two cup kitchen aid that I use to chop nuts down, onion for inside of hamburgers, meatloaf!. Then I have my large variable speed with the different blades that we use for everything!. Its rare that a day goes by that I don't have at least one of them out!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
usually a food processor will have a setting and blade for grating things!. The challenge you'll have is recipes that call for a small amount of grated incredients!. It's not going to be worth it to change the blades and then clean it out afterward, just to grate a little something!. So I wouldn't throw out your hand grater!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It's true that most food processors will have grating blades!. But do you really want to have to get the food processor out and set it up, then wash up the bowl, blade and lid every time you want to grate a little cheese on top of your pasta!? I'd keep the grater, if I were you ;-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
My Cuisinart has a shredding/grating blade, which works like a grater would!. Otherwise, you'd just get little, tiny chopped pieces - if you pulse it, instead of grated pieces!. If you don't have a grating/shredding blade, just buy a cheap $1 hand graterWww@FoodAQ@Com
Actually, I like the food processor for grating large amounts of stuff, but if I just want to grate a little bit of cheese for dinner or something, I still use the grater; it's smaller, easier to clean, etc!.

You're right!. You probably don't need a grater but a grater's quicker to wash afterwards!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Not really but it is nice to have a grater for small jobs !.!.!.!.when you don't want to use and wash the food processor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
No, because different shapes drastically change the feel of the dish, which is why different shapes of pasta exist!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope!. Look at cheese for an example, an grater has different size holes that you can grate!.
And what would you use in a black out!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

There is a grater attachment for my Cuisinart, in case I want to grate hard cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
it could be, but sometimes it's just easier to use a grater if you don't have much to chop up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yep - can use for slicing dicing grating chopping cutting etc etcWww@FoodAQ@Com
