I had a block of cheese and was going to make grilled cheese sandwiches tonight . My cheese slicer from long ago is broken and I had a devil of a time trying to use a knife to makes slices from that block of cheese. What do you use? Thanks

Wow I always use a knife...maybe try a serrated one if your chefs knife won't do it

[stilltamn8r]

Was it sticking? Cause if that was the problem maybe coating with PAM might help...

Try grating the cheese instead. Hard to cut a block of cheese with a knife. Or try this:

cheese knife

Or try this: Wire cheese slicer

I have a knife from Cutco that is made for this, and I use it constantly. It has holes in the middle.

I always grate cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches. It melts faster.

I have one of these knives too! Perfect for cheese. I have a lot of Cutco and it's all excellent!

My cheese slicer broke too. It was a wire and worked very slick. My new cheese slicer really only shaves everything too thin. The last few times I used a vegetable carrot slicer that it thick and wavy. It really does a good job but the cuts are wavy yet can be uniform. It probably would make good grilled cheese sandwich. I also use it for cubing cheese for salads.

I've never had or seen what I consider to be a satisfactory cheese slicer. The wire ones do the best job but they don't last long.

i actually own 2 of these knives AND two of this style:

cutco makes great cheese knives.
