        Cut or tear open cheese from plastic bag. If the cheese you like to eat is still in its packaging, cut or tear open packaging, pull back plastic to expose some cheese. It is best to keep cheese inside plastic wrap so as to not contaminate the cheese with the oils from your hand.

        Take out cheese slicer. Hold it in one hand and the cheese in the other.

        With cheese still in plastic packaging, place the cheese slicer over exposed cheese, pull cheese slicer towards you until it is at the end of cheese block. A thin slice of cheese should have come up onto the slicer.
