One thing that stands out immediately is the soft, ergonomic grip, something that OXO is pretty well known for. This cheese slicer is another variation on the classic model. The OXO Cheese Slicer is one of those quality, affordable tools, and one that certainly deserves a place on this list. OXO is a pretty well established brand in the kitchen space, known for making quality, yet affordable kitchen tools. So if you’ve got limited space in your kitchen cabinets, you may want to take storage into consideration. The base is about 10” by 8” (slightly smaller than a normal piece of office paper), and about an inch and a half thick. It’s really a cheese slicer and a cutting board/serving tray in one. The nice thing though is that the design also lets you cut cheese to as thick or thin as you’d like, without restriction.įinally, this is clearly larger than most cheese slicers on the market. And the base has rubber feet too, to make sure it doesn’t slip around at all during use.Īlthough the RoRo works well, the design makes it difficult to create precise, uniform slices, so if that’s important to you, you may need to look elsewhere. I wouldn’t use this for very hard cheeses – like a parmesan – but this style works exceptionally well on medium hardness cheeses, like cheddar, monterey jack and gouda. It’s so elegant, in fact, that you may even jump to use it for your next charcuterie spread.įunctionally, the RoRo cheese slicer works well. The wooden base is beautifully crafted from end-grain acacia wood, and patterned with a natural two-tone finish. It works great, and is suitable for cheeses up to 6 inches wide.Īnd obviously, it looks great. A different design, this cheese slicer is composed of a stationary cutting board and simple wire and lever cutting mechanism. So, as long as you’re not planning to use this on massive hunks of cheese, you should be good to go. And moreover, this slicer will not work on cheese blocks wider than 3.5 inches. First, the design will not allow for slices thicker than ¼ inch, much less cubes. That said, they also offer a one year warranty, which is nice.Īlthough this is a fantastic cheese slicer for most uses, there are a few notable limitations. The wire is adjustable, meaning you can go from relatively thick ¼ inch to paper thin slices, and Bellemain even throws in an extra, replacement wire if anything happens to the first. And strength is very important when it comes to cheese slicing, especially when you’re working with hard cheeses, not just so that the slicer doesn’t break, but to prevent warping and uneven slices as well. The cheese slicer is made from a single piece of zinc alloy, and is very sturdy. I really like the look of this slicer – which has what looks to be a brushed nickel finish – and the feeling of it in my hand. These style cheese slicers are the most common in most kitchens, and in my opinion, also the simplest to use.
