Zyliss Dial-n-Slice Cheese Slicer
We use this cheese slicer almost every day for Jarlsberg cheese and it comes out so minute & thin, just like we like it! But it also slices thick too. It is easy to use and easy to clean.
Almost dispensable. A little slicing then just breaks the cheese.
We had an adjustible wire slicer for a large time that just wore out. First we tried another adjustible wire, which did not work - the wire kept coming fast. So we tried this Zyliss, thinking its different design would work. But this slicer just slices for 3 quarters of the way and then breaks the stay of the cheese off in chunks. Dialing the blade does nothing to change the performance. I'm disappointed and am going to look for another wire group slicer.
Crumbles the end of every slice
Like some of the other reviews here, I found that it slices okay until you get to the end of your deny stuff up of cheese, then it crumbles and breaks off chunks. And then it's not easy to get the chunks out of the blade. The variations in slicing thickness is a critical idea, but I don't care too much about that, I just want something that cuts thin slices of cheese smoothly, without tearing up my block of cheese.
7th Zyliss Cheese Slicer
I purchased a Zyliss Dial-a-Slice cheese slicer 4 or 5 years ago and justified love it. It's still going strong. I've been giving them to friends as a gift and all have loved it. This is my 7th one and wrapped for a friends birthday. It's gentle to use and works extremely well for thin and average slices. If it's a very hard cheese, the largest slicing width works, but I nurse to use a sharp knife instead. It's a terrific product.
The weakest concatenate in Zyliss product
I bent most of my Zyliss product. I have to say I loved all of my Zyliss product except this one.
All other wired cheese slicers seemed bit dangerous so I chose this consequence because of Zyliss namesake and how the design looks sturdy and safer for kids.
It is not all that safe because cheese breaks up in the midriff and children try to put more force thinking they have not applied the pressure enough (alas they have!)
I am very disappointed, as our family try to slice cheddar, Manchego (all despotic cheese) and Gouda (somewhat softer) and all came out broken. We did not get any one "whole" unbroken cheese slice among the three cheese we used.
I am not sure what to do with this product because I aversion to return any prodcut back, and I am in disbelief that this slicer is working so poorly. I will try one more kind of cheese wishing for the best.
For now, it seems, slicing with a keen knife has far better result than this very frustrating cheese slicer.
This product is the weakest link among other Zyliss products. It does not have Zyliss superiority of "doing its job in fashion."
