Ingredients
While this cheese slicer doesn’t come with a recipe per se, it does require a specific “ingredient” to showcase its magic:
A block of cheese: Choose a block of your favorite cheese. Hard cheeses such as cheddar, Swiss, or Gouda work best for optimal slicing.
Instructions
1. Preparation
Select Your Cheese: Begin by choosing a block of cheese. The slicer is designed to handle firm cheeses well, so opt for something like cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère. The cheese should be cold from the refrigerator, as this will help it maintain its shape and slice more easily.
Inspect the Slicer: Take a moment to admire the craftsmanship of the Presto Aluminum Cheese Slicer. Note its vintage design—typically featuring a sturdy aluminum base with a thin, sharp wire that cuts through cheese with ease. Check for any signs of wear or damage, although these slicers are generally quite durable.
2. Slicing the Cheese
Position the Cheese: Place the block of cheese on a cutting board. Position it so that it fits comfortably within the slicer’s width. Ensure the cutting board is stable and won’t slip during slicing.
