Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
La Trattoria, a bustling family-run Italian restaurant in Bristol, was struggling with prep times during their busy evening service. Hand-grating Pecorino and Parmesan for dozens of pasta dishes was a bottleneck that slowed down the entire kitchen.
"We were going through kilos of parmesan a week, and grating it by hand was slow and produced an inconsistent result. We needed a faster, more uniform solution. This disc was the answer. It slots into the Waring processor we already trusted, and now the job takes seconds, not minutes."
David Chen – Head Chef
By switching to the Waring AC987 disc, La Trattoria reduced its cheese prep time by over 90%, allowing chefs to focus on cooking and plating.

Installation & Maintenance
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always ensure the food processor is unplugged before handling blades.
- Consult your Waring WFP7K manual for specific instructions on fitting a disc.
- Align the disc correctly on the drive shaft and ensure it sits flat and securely.
- Attach the processor lid and lock it into place before reconnecting power.
Keeping It Going
- Clean the disc immediately after use to prevent cheese from hardening on it.

- Use a soft brush to dislodge any stubborn particles from the grating holes.
- Store the disc carefully in a protective sleeve or designated holder to avoid damaging the sharp surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this Waring WFP113 slicing blade fit my non-Waring food processor?
A: No, this disc is specifically designed and tested for a secure fit with the Waring WFP7K model only. Using it with other brands is not recommended and can be unsafe.
Q: Can I use this to grate cheddar or other soft cheeses?
A: It's not recommended. This disc is engineered for very hard cheeses like Parmesan and Pecorino. Softer cheeses will likely clog the fine holes and create a paste.
Q: Is this disc dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, being made of stainless steel, it is generally dishwasher safe. However, we always recommend a quick rinse and brush after use for the best long-term results.
Q: How do I install the disc?
A: With the machine unplugged, remove the lid and any existing blade. Place the disc onto the motor shaft, ensuring it sits level. Replace the lid securely before use.
Q: What is the difference between this and a standard grating disc?
A: The key difference is the 2mm grate size, which is much finer than a standard grating disc. This creates a powdery texture ideal for hard cheeses.
Q: Can it grate anything other than cheese?
A: It could potentially be used for other very hard, dry items like nuts or dried bread for breadcrumbs, but its primary design and function is for hard cheese.
Q: How sharp is the disc?
A: The grating surfaces are very sharp to ensure a clean cut. Please handle it with care during installation and cleaning.
Q: Does this disc slice or just grate?
A: This is a dedicated grating disc. It does not have a slicing blade and will only produce a fine, grated product.
