Build a Better Cheese Knife...
Filed under: Gadgets
Those who deal with cheese know that slicing the stuff is more challenging than it looks. Good cheese is temperamental. A nice aged parm or cheddar, for example, would rather flake, break or just plain crumble than sheer off in a clean, healthy slice.
Enter: The Cheese Knife. The theory: a plastic knife comprised of little stacked triangles with work better than a lovely Henckels or Wusthof. And, lo and behold... it works.
The cheese doesn't stick to the side of the knife. Instead, it slices through even aged and fussy cheeses as though they were butter. Is it worth the $19.99 (at Kitchen Window)? That depends. If you go through 10 pounds of cheese a year, probably not. 50 a year, most definitely.

Are you just going to pimp Kichen Window, or will you be seeing what other food gadget stores have as well?

Totally a fair point. Kitchen Window is my neighborhood gadget-stop, but I'm open minded. Where else is good?

Try the restaurant supply store on Kasota-- just off of 280.
