Adjustable Cheese Slicer with Wire

Adjustable Cheese Slicer with a Cutting Wire

Slicing a block of cheese with a knife is harder than it looks. The cheese sticks to the blade, slices come out wedge-shaped, and the last third of the block crumbles. An adjustable cheese slicer gives you clean, even slices every time.

It's a sturdy metal slicer with a cutting wire stretched next to a roller. Turn the knob to set the thickness, then pull it toward you across the block. The roller rides along the cheese, so every slice comes out the same. Even slices at the thickness you want, from paper thin to sandwich thick.

Why a wire cheese slicer works so well

A thin wire has almost no surface for cheese to cling to, so it glides through instead of dragging. That's why it handles semi-soft cheeses like mozzarella and Monterey Jack that gum up a knife.

What cheese can you cut with a wire cheese slicer?

• Cheddar, Colby and Monterey Jack
• Gouda, Havarti and Swiss
• Mozzarella and provolone blocks

Very hard cheeses like Parmesan are better grated, and very soft ones like brie are better cut with a knife.

How to use it

1. Turn the knob to set the gap between the wire and the roller.
2. Set the cheese on a board, rest the roller on top at the far edge.
3. Pull the slicer toward you in one smooth stroke without twisting.

Cold cheese straight from the fridge slices the cleanest.

Details and care

It weighs about 117 g, so it feels solid without being heavy. Rinse it in warm, soapy water and dry it right away.
