How to use

To use the slicer, place the cheese on a flat, stable cutting board. Position the wire at the desired thickness on the edge of the cheese block. Apply gentle, even downward pressure to guide the wire through the cheese in a single, smooth motion. Ensure the wire remains taut throughout the process to achieve a clean cut. After use, wipe the wire clean with a damp cloth and dry the handle thoroughly to maintain the quality of the wood.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the compatibility of the slicer with the types of cheese you consume most frequently
• Ensure you have a stable cutting surface available
• Consider the manual maintenance required for natural wood handles

Usage recommendations

For optimal longevity, hand wash the slicer with mild soap and avoid soaking the acacia wood handle in water. Periodically treat the wood handle with food-safe mineral oil to preserve its natural luster and prevent drying.
