Dry and store : Dry the slicer thoroughly with a clean towel before storing. Make sure it is completely dry to avoid potential corrosion. Store the slicer in a cool, dry place, ideally in a kitchen drawer or on a utensil holder.
Variations and tips
Cheese Variety : While hard cheeses are ideal, you can experiment with semi-soft cheeses like Havarti or Monterey Jack. However, avoid very soft cheeses, as they may not slice as cleanly.
Adjust the thickness : If your slicer has an adjustable mechanism, play with different thickness settings to find what best suits your needs. Thicker slices are ideal for sandwiches, while thinner slices work well for cheese platters.
Keep Cheese Fresh : If you cut a large block of cheese, consider wrapping leftover cheese tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper to maintain freshness.
Handling delicate cheeses : For softer cheeses, you may want to chill them slightly before slicing. This will help them hold their shape better and make the slicing process easier.
