We use it twice a month to grate cheese for pizzas and once in a while for ground ham sandwiches.

Note: I know it's from 1970 because the date of manufacture is stamped under the lid.

My neighbor threw one out in our moving room. My mom now has it. It was in mint condition and my mom loves it

Do you have any recommendations for one of these with a hand crank that clamps onto the table (not suction cups)?

Damn! I hadn't heard of that brand in years. My mom still has and uses a Moulinnette like the one in this photo since the 80s.

Turns out, Mouli is actually an English word for hand-operated food graters. The word is derivated from "Moulin-Légume" which was patented in 1935 by Moulinex whose original name was "Le Moulin Légume". Everything is connected, we're one under the sun XD

Had one growing up. Still can hear it running in my head.

The stuff Moulinex makes now lasts less than a year

I have a Mouli-Grater that I inhereited when my grandmother passed. When she died (back in the '90s) I was asked if there was anything from the house I wanted. I asked for this and the grand piano. I got both, but this is the thing I use most and absolutely cherish.

Haha the loading dock where people move their items, deliveries etc. people leave items they don’t need/want anymore.

My best find is this just had to take it in an have some valves and a part replaced.

I find all sorts of items. It’s just people who are lazy to donate properly or sell their goods.

I use my grandfathers once a year to make thanksgiving stuffing. That has been it’s only job (that I’m aware of) since I was a little kid. I accidentally took it home with me after the meal the year or so before he died , and I’m glad I did. My family went crazy taking stuff from the house, so much drama around a lot of what will amount to trash.
