Does it slice cheese

should slice cheese if sliceable. never mind the spelling, you know what i mean. p.s. my slicer has a carriage with a back bar and a device to hold the object against the blade also. similar to the holder in a mandolin. i've effectively sliced raw chicken breasts 1/8" for jerky. 30 lbs. worth. with one big chunk of beef (london broil, brisket,sirloin) really smooth and easy. semi-frozen is easier yet. the last little pieces of softer meats are the hardest to do.

No reason it shouldn't. I have not tried yet, but I would not hesitate to try. As long as it is a somewhat firm cheese. You won't be able to slice something soft like a Brie. But American you could. I wouldn't try softer than that. The issue I have with it is that there is no arm or bar that slides on the carriage to hold what ever you are slicing in place, like on a commercial deli slicer. You only have the hand grip that is meant to hold it against the blade for slicing. Depending on the size and shape of what you are slicing, this can be challenging to keep the product from slipping and turning sideways against the blade. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but if you have experience with commercial slicers you understand.

Yes this does also cut thin slices. I do recommend purchasing some protective gloves as well because it is very sharp too!

I use it on all my vegetables, it does an excellent job on all of them but I have never used it on cheese.

Absolutely. You won't believe how much easier this cheese knife slices cheddar than a regular knife would.

Mine will not. I tried to use it chop up a block of cheddar. Even after I cut it into tiny cubes, it still would not cut it. The blade stuck in the cheese and then flew up out of place.

yes if by block you mean a 2 or 3 inch thick size..any larger and knife is too small..it will definately cut through any cheddar...does for me and I eat it often and use this knife to slice nor cut off large pieces to shred

Yes, it will shred cabbage as long as your chunks fit down the input chute. I haven't done much cheese with it. As long as you don't force the feed too hard and bind up the blade, it does fine.

I haven't been able to shred cheese, but it will chop it very fine. I use a mandolin slicer with a cheese shredder attachment. I did not receive a snap on cheese shredder with mine.

I have used it to slice very hard cheese, but soft cheese will not work. The grater blade works well to grate all types of cheese.

It does! We slice pickles, potatoes, roasts, and cheese. It all turns out fine. I read in another review to just take it slow and I have to agree. It's not an industrial slicer that can whip right through things, but for home use, a steady pace does the job well.

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol

And yes it cuts cheeses but they must be firm what I do to some chesse is to start a freeze on it this makes some cheese cut better but remember all cheese has different densities.

You can probably cut anything you like with it, however, it is ideal for cheese.

Sorry I haven't used it yet to slice bread, but I don't like it for slicing cheese.

No Judy, it does not but let me tell you -this is the best. It slices with such precision. I love it, plain and simple.

No, it won't slice meat very long. I stripped the drive gears during the 4th time I used it. Gears are plastic. It never saw hard use. Don't waste your money.

It is a GREAT cheese knife but the hardest thing I use mine for in cheddar cheese. It is a plastic blade to gets very thin at the edge of the blade. If the cracker crust was a bit soft I would use it, but if thick and rock-hard, nope! It's fantastic for slicing hard-boiled eggs! I love mine and have given them as gifts to all of my family members!
