Using a Cheese Slicer

Step1
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.
Step2
Take out cheese slicer. Hold it in one hand and the cheese in the other.
Step3
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.
Step4
If you want more cheese slices, repeat the steps until you get the desired amount you want.
Step5
This is the easiest piece of kitchenware to use. It you had been looking for a way to cut thinner slices of cheese, using a cheese slicer is a cut above a knife.

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep the cheese slicer away from little hands as it is sharp and will cut fingers.
  • Even with a cheese slicer, you can cut your fingers, so be careful.
