I got to use my pelican this morning. 5# organic Jersey yellow cheddar donation for the homeless shelter. It's scrap cheese, trims and ends from the cutter, and doesn't market well. But it sure does shred nicely. I used to use my Cuis' for this, but the pelican works better and seems to be an easier clean-up. Two nice zip-locks of shred in the freezer 'til the shelter season starts. Thank you, Spring Hill Jersey Dairy...you rock!
