Joie's Cheese Wire Slicer easily cuts slices up to 2.95-inches wide from semi-soft to hard cheeses with little effort. The fine-gauge cutting wire slices easily through blocks of cheese without straining hands or wrists, and works great for cutting hard sticks of butter. Cheeses are tastiest when sliced immediately before use. No more pre-cut slices with dried or hardened corners. This useful addition to kitchen gadgets and cooking tools easily slices cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, pepper jack, colby, goat cheese, gouda, havarti, gruyere, and more. Simply hold the cheese block firmly and pull the cutting wire across the cheese with a consistent firm pressure.
