Has anyone used this to slice Jarlsberg Cheese that comes in a triangle form? Thank You..

No one has asked for that specific cheese, but I think if you used the slicer on on side of the triangle rather than the top or bottom, that it would work well

I haven't tried that - but this is the best made wire cheese slicer I have ever seen!

I am not sure; I think that it would work for some cheeses, but not for others! I think that it would depend on the texture of the cheese. I am guessing that hard cheeses would be likely to crumble and that if the cheese was too soft, it would not hold its shape very well. I am not sure that I would buy this for cutting cheese, but I may try it at some point. I use these mostly for cutting fruits and vegetables with children in the kitchen; they work well with small hands. I hope that this helps!

It seems to be made a bit more for softer stickier cheeses. I just experimented thru a hard Romano and the knife seemed a bit light and the cheese crumbled.

Without a problem.. I brought it to cut the hard cheddar cheese I love. It passed the test wonderfully. It will not disappoint you. The stainless steel blade is fused into the handle to make it ULTRA strong

I would say no. It tends to smash softer cheese, and even the hard stuff it crumbles instead of grating. I should have sent this back. As I am sure I stated in my review, it grates these cheese and spits it out in a long rope and because it grates it so fine, that 'rope' gums together and has to be separated by hand. pretty much useless.

Sorry I haven't tried this - sounds like you have an interesting recipe. I think the shred blade would come pretty close.

I am not a southpaw, and I've never has that problem. On the other hand, I don't recommend using a breadknife for slicing vegetables either. Instead, why not look at a santuko 7" like the ones made by/for Calphalon, or by Messermeister, or any of a number of other makers.

Yes, this is an awesome product for intended use.. I really use it more than any other knife to slice cheddar type cheese.

I tried to slice cheese a couple of ways ... Neither worked so unless someone else knows a trick I'm thinking the answer is no. That is not to say that I don't like my Mansoline ... I love it!

I have not but it sounds like something I would like to try. I'm sure it would work, it would just have to be sliced in half most likely.

Well, I just had to try that. Yes, I was able to shred it. It is not as moist as cheese and therefore tends to break up a little more, but yes, I was able to shred it.

I really like this slicer, BUT, I would recommend a spiral slicer for the really long zucchini "noodles" to substitute for spaghetti. I think this slicer is a good choice for nice thin "julienne" type of strips. It works very well on dense vegetables like carrots, and my spiral will not handle carrots. NEVER use this slicer without the guard. It is very sharp and you will bleed a lot (been there done that).

I have used it on bulk lunch meats and block cheese. Cut both, it is not fast but I am quite happy with the purchase. I would suggest placing soft items in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to firm them up. I found this made the slicing easier.

Sorry Tweety Bird .... You can only try it ..... The slices are really not very thick when cut using the slots on the slicer ..... Much thinner and you won't have much bread left �

It worked fine with me for mozzarella. I even used it to shred a cucumber. The maximum size piece you can shred is 2-3 inches wide and essentially limitless length.

The blade is less than 3 inches. You may want the big one? Works wonderful on any cheese. Soft or hard
