How do you grind up Parmesan cheese in a Food Processor? Mines been broken long time, just got a new one and don't remember. Drop chunks down while it's running?

I like a good, old-fashioned hand grater.  Never really liked the micro-plane thing.  I want my parmesan to have a bit more oomph than snow....

Pulse, pulse, pulse.  Don't just lean on the "on" button.  I get the best results from the "metal" blade, not any of the disks, for Parm/Romano.  Fairly small chunks and pulse, pulse, pulse.

True, true. A snowpocalypse of parmigiano.

Forget the food processor and go straight to the Microplane grater. You'll have clouds of parmigiano in seconds.

Got it, just noticed the pin.

nutcakes · Answer

Oh gosh. found the stem, can't figure out how to attach it to the blade. Now to look for the book...I'm almost out of time.

RavensFeast · Answer

You could simply use your basic attachments for grating, wide or fine.
