[Sca-cooks] Adventures in redaction...LONG

[Betsy Marshall]

Hey-Yah- the Italian Mezza-luna (half moon) knife
comes with a dished chopping board-
I tend to use a rocking motion
rather than an actual "chop"- lift and lower...
Betsy- hoping to be helpful

Do you have a "chop" setting of some sort?  I know our Vitamix (which is
more than capable of reducing just about anything to mush) does a pretty
good job of rough-crumbling cheese at the lower settings.  Or if that
fails,
d'you have one of those odd curved chopping blades (a la Nigella
Lawson)?
If you could prevent them from running off the chopping board, that
should
work reasonably well.

Just a thought,
