can be used to slice cheese

You might be okay with softer cheese, but make sure it's properly chilled, maybe even try partially freezing it. I could see it gumming up the works easily. In general, the blade kinda stinks.

Sorry, never tried it. The serrated blade should help with softer cheeses. Something like Velveeta would need to be very cold.

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 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.

I actually reviewed it a while ago. I returned it to the store because I didn't like it. I bought a different one and do not remember what Indidn't like about the OXO. I usually like the OXO products.

I believe it will. I have had great success with this slicer and getting consistent thin slices out of it. I would go relatively slow with cheese to give the motor a chance. Not that I've ever had a problem with the motor just that's is not a professional slicer.

i do not think you will have any problem cutting through the oreo or graham cracker crust. the knife is very sturdy and is very easy to use. i think you will like it for cutting cheese as well. good luck with it.

You know, I'd never tried this before until your question but I happened to have a wedge of hard Parmesan cheese in the refrigerator. I took it out and very easily sliced 4-5 slices off the end that ranged between 1/8" and 1/4" thick depending on how much pressure I put on the cheese pushing it through and how thick I set the adjustment for the slicing range. Thanks for the question! Now you have an answer to your question, and I have more options in cheese to put on the grilled sandwiches that I make! I just made one yesterday slicing apples crossways to go with provolone, sliced Vidala onions, green peppers and Dijon on rustic bread with home grown herbs. Yum!

My opinion would be that this would not be a good cheese grater or slicer. A softer cheese would stick to the mandoline and a harder cheese would not slice but grate, but not in a good way.

The Knife doesn't work well on hard cheese. It works well on medium to soft cheese.

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.

no, I have not. The two-blade system makes me think it might clog up when cutting cheese. I use it for breads and cooked cuts of meat.

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!!!

I always buy the 1 inch by 5 1/2 inch size blocks of cheese, and lay it on the slicer with the short side vertical. I just tried slicing it the other way, (5 1/2 tall), and it was slightly more difficult to cut precisely, but it worked.

It works fine for soft cheeses if you use the large caliber grater. I'd estimate a 2" x 2" chunk at a time.

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!

The thin slicer disc slices pretty thinly. I suppose you could although Ive never done it.

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 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.

Yes, it's wide enough to slice a 5 pound block of cheese. And strong enough for the wire to hold up.
