How wet is your motzerella when you buy it? Mine, well, it comes in a NON-vaccum-packed bag, which, upon cutting open pours out a very watery/milky fluid. Fortunately I was warned and I had a "zipbox" ready. I put the ball of pure white cheese in the box with some of its "milk". Now and again I fish it out of the fridge and slice a round off for a salad, pizza, etc... It wouldn't stand a chance in the shredder if it wanted to. Its texture is more like congealed pudding with a little extra support around the edges. It smears, slimes, and squishes and tears and allows itself to be cut by a knife, but will never be shredded.
