PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Handcrafted from the finest materials, this functional cheese slicer doubles as a convenient serving piece. The cutting wire sinks easily, even the hardest cheese, to produce a perfect slice, thick or thin, every time. Comes with extra wire. Made of natural wood and has a stainless steel handle. To clean, run a knife through cutting slot, wipe with a damp soapy cloth, then dry immediately. Not dishwasher safe. Occasionally rub a soft cloth moistened with mineral or vegetable oil. Measures 10" x 7"/25.5cm x 18cm. AMAZON.COM If there's one piece of advice that will help you get the best from this cheese slicer--or any other of the wire-a-wedge fromage shavers--it's probably "Know thine cheese." The firmness of your selection goes a long way toward determining whether the taut stainless-steel filament passes easily through the cheese to render a succulent slab or whether you're caught mid-curd resembling the loser at Dueling Banjos, with a broken string and a sharp twang echoing in your ears. The folks at Norpro know this, too; they've included two replacement wires with this hardwood cheese slicer. The wire installs very easily and quickly into the clean lines of the coping-saw-like handle, but do yourself a favor: stick to unaged Cheddar and other semi-firm cocktail-party varieties. Using the Norpro to garrote a Gouda or slide through a Stilton doesn't give the wire the right resistance to strut its stuff. --Tony Mason
