How is this for cheese?

I have not tried the slicer with cheese. If I have a chance I will do it later and I will send an additional answer.

I use it to slice my homemade cheese, and it works well for me. You have to go slower than with meat, but it does slice well.

its good on firm cheese, stick bologna or about any kind of bulk meat product

It will slice hard cheeses or most things that are fairly firm, such as potatoes & onions, and of course meats. It is nice to be able to cut uniform thickness. Helps in cooking times & also in cost. One thing we buy are pork loins when they are on sale. My husband cuts a chunk for roast, then we make slices for boneless pork chops. When on sale a loin that full price runs about $45-50 will cost $15-20 and much better pork chops too. This food slicer pays for itself in short time. This is my 2nd food slicer. I had my previous one 30 years & it was not as well built as this one.

I have only used it for Feta cheese. I would think it would be all right as my Feta cheese is creamy.

Pretty fine...I haven't but you could probably strain yogurt/fresh cheese through it... My only complaint, and it's my own fault, is the size....I would buy one twice as large next time

I haven't used it on hard cheese; but, I would not see it as a problem using it for that type of cheese. Hope that helps.

It is great for straining chicken stock. I do it all the time. In fact, I'm going to look for a larger size, because I use it for everything I would use cheesecloth for.

Cutting part is shiny and handle is brushed - it does slice pretty thin so I think this would be best for hard cheeses only.

It seems to be made a bit more for softer stickier cheeses. I just experimented thru a hard Romano and the knife seemed a bit light and the cheese crumbled.

I haven't tried it out on cheese. I have used it on zucchini, apples, and sweet potatoes so far. It has worked great on those items.

It would be the regular grated cheese. I'm not sure how well the blades would do with cheese - they could get clogged. Worth a try though.

I actually did not try it for anything else, when it did not grate the cheese (which is the main reason I bought it) I tossed it in the garbage bin. The other problem I had was there were too many parts to clean after use.

It does cut cheese. It slices hard type cheese, such as Gruyere, very well.

I have really had good luck with mine. I tried to grate all my "Italian" type cheeses like this. Hope it works out well for you.

I would not recommend this for anything but hard cheese. It is underpowered for anything else and very hard to clean. Easier to grate by hand. There is only one size for the grater and you can not purchase any other sizes. We gave ours away to the goodwill.

Yes. I use it to shred cheese all the time! The harder the cheese, the easier it is, so soft cheeses like Mozzarella, I usually freeze the cheese a bit first.

I've only had this thing less than a year, but it seems very good quality to me. I'm sure you could leave it in milk/cheese with no problem, but couldn't predict for how long. It's not some cheap feeling thing, though, it's well made with good materials.

I don't really think so for a large quantity. Its great for smaller things like zesting limes and lemons also garlic and ginger. Ive never used it for cheeses.

I have used it on a brick of cheddar, such as kraft. It certainly sliced that fine. You could try making sure your cheese is as cold as possible. I don't think it would slice anything as soft as, say a brick of cream cheese. I hope that helps you a little, take care..
