It says it can slice cheese but does it do it with ease or is it a struggle? I don't need super thin slices just basic a

I have found that I do need to stop and start a bit when slicing through a block of cheddar cheese fresh out of the refrigerator (not freezer). This is not a problem at all--just my two cents. Overall, I would recommend this slicer.

Yes, i have done cheese but very last piece of chs is about 1/4" thick. Ok for crackers

Look, the only thing I can say is that I sliced some Jarlisberg! It was a breeze, just perfect. Did not want to go for something like a Havarti, since I would have to clean the blade. To slice HARD CHEESE is like a JOKE!!! It comes out in any thickness you want without any problems. I did not want to slice SOFT CHEESE, since I can do that with a knife and can then keep my 10" blade as clean as I have been able to keep it!!!

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

This grater does pretty well on soft cheese and I do grate mozzarella on it. A light coating of olive oil in advance can help.I really like this grater..............!

hello no you don't want this slicer it will really boog down the blade . i would up buying a small commercial slicer for 250 and it works great for cheeses. hope this helped

The blade is very smooth and cuts very nicely. I use it to slice a very soft cheese and it works very well. I'm very pleased.

I would not recommend this for anything but hard cheese. It is underpowered for anything else and very hard to clean. Easier to grate by hand. There is only one size for the grater and you can not purchase any other sizes. We gave ours away to the goodwill.

I think it depends on how hard you press when slicing. I usually can get a thin slice but my hubby can press hard and get a thick slice. It is very sharp.

You can slice pretty close to paper thin but remember this is not an automatic slicer. You have to push the meat across the blade and the guide and back of the machine are plastic. If you push just a little too hard the plastic back gives and you end up with a thicker slice than you want.

I think that this would probably work better for hard cheeses than soft, to be honest with you. Soft cheeses tend to "catch" on the slicer & get pulled by the edges of the slicer. I love mine!

I have not sliced meat yet. I use it primarily to slice cheese and it works great.

It really depend on how hard the cheese is. I have been able to cut cheddar and Swiss but Parmesan I think would be difficult.

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!

I would have to say it depends on the cheese. A soft cheese - mozzarella, for example - may prove troublesome. I could clog the cutting blade - the clearance is narrow. You can try hardening the cheese in the freezer for a few minutes (30?) before trying. A harder cheese, it would do just fine.

When you are not using the slicer it is suggested to set the blade to 0 so you can cut anything from the thinnest it can to up to 1/2 inch thick. I suppose the dip behind the blade edge would make it easier to cut cheese, because most cheese like to get stuck to the knife. There is a knob in the back to turn and it move the cutting plate back kind of quick, so you might need to adjust the cut once you do the first cut. I looked on line for blades that were smoother and I could get on for this instead of the serrated blade, but all the blades are the same design for the home slicers. You can see from the pictures that the blade is flat in front. Well, the blade is just like an ordinary knife with an angled cut like the shape of a v going around the blade. Just like many knives the cut things in an angle so does this blade, so after that first cut the back side is about a 1/16 of an inch off the cutting board. I cut up two rolls of meat, turkey and bologna and I cut most of the bologna in 1/6 of an inch slices, and part of the turkey into chipped meat and thick slices. I like the slicer and I looked to see how many people had problems, and this was the best one. I can tell you right now it will not cut bone like a bone saw, or frozen meat although I didn't try cutting frozen meat, but I used it to lice many things from Cucumbers to meat and cheese. Some soft cheese can leave a mess and it might be better to use an E string for an electric guitar, and if you need to cut a lot at once make a frame and put a lot of strings on it. I used them because the guitar strings are stainless steel and don't rust.

It only has one size to slice and that is very thin. I think I would go with a more versatile slicer. I wouldn't buy this again

Yes, it will cut squash very thin, perhaps not spaghetti thin, but close. No it does not grate cheese.

t,his grater works quite well with softer cheeses. realistically, no grater is perfect with soft cheeses. I use this grater almost everyday and I'm extremely pleased with it in fact more than any other I've used. Sharp easy to clean.
