While this cheese slicer doesn’t come with a recipe per se, it does require a specific “ingredient” to work 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 : Start 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 retain its shape and make slicing easier.
Inspect the slicer : Take a moment to admire the craftsmanship of the Presto aluminum cheese slicer. Note its vintage design, which typically features a sturdy aluminum base with a thin, sharp edge that cuts through cheese with ease. Check for signs of wear or damage, though these slicers are generally quite durable.
2. Slice the cheese
Position the cheese : Place the block of cheese on a cutting board. Position it so that it comfortably fits the width of the slicer. Make sure the cutting board is stable and does not slide while slicing.
