You can get the "pro" slicer she's using, and in stainless steel, for $90. It may be twice the price, but it's also twice as good and will last twice as long.
For $90 you can buy a decent cheese knife and a ton of decent cheese. I have a cheap wire cutting board cheese cutter that came as a gift with cheese, it works just as well, except I find myself just using a knife 98% of the time.
Out of all the experts you've had on your channel I liked her the best. She had really good camera presenece and not only talked clear and in a way that you can understand but she was witty and charming. Hope you can do more collabs in the future.
Wow... Not only a great demonstration of the chopper, but a cheese expert to go above and beyond explaining why the chopper is limited in its usefulness. Definitely kudos to Diana for sharing her all-around knowledge - and tremendous camera presence, too boot. (And the next time I'm in Henderson - I know where I'll be stopping by).
Great point...this cheese gadget seemed very limited to what could be cut, and the expert was very kind in her opinions. James should include more collaborations such as this one; it really added that extra oomph to today's video!
I think the Sharks were wise to take a pass on this gadget. I like the Pro opinion and hope you can incorporate them in future videos (ie wine, coffee gadgets and maybe a short-order cook for all those egg gadgets)
"Goopy boy", "commited to that block life". ❤ Seriously underrated woman, love her. You two in the same frame actually look and seem equally as proffessional. If you do feature her again, maybe try similar products to that freakin' awesome (heh!) wire cutter, alternatively something completely different in terms of cheesey gadgets.
Cutting cheese with a wire against a hard surface rarely works well. There needs to be a gap for the wire to go into for it to cut through the cheese properly. (Also the wire needs to be extremely tight.)
My 15 dollar hillshire farm marble cutting block is like this. Cuts like a guillotine using a wire and the marble table has a groove in it for the wire to cut through entirely.
I have an old cheese cutter that has a groove in the wood for the wire. I couldn't find a replacement wire quickly after mine snapped, so got a handheld one. I ended up just cutting a thick slice of cheese, then laid it sideways and put the block on top and used that cheese to give me the gap I needed for the hand slicer.
When I need to shred cheese, it is usually a relatively large quantity for a pizza or baked pasta dish such as lasagne, for that I use my food processor which does a great job in literally seconds. For anything else, I will use a sharp cheese knife or even a paring knife, depending on the cheese I am cutting. For storing cheese, I simply seal it in a vacuum container with my Food Saver vacuum sealer, which does a great job of keeping it fresh, literally for months. A couple of tips... when shredding cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella, put it in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes first. You will get a better result, and when slicing a firm or semi-firm block of cheese, bring it to room temp first as it will prevent the cracking of the cheese and result in a much better finishing edge at the bottom.
Here's the issue with these things: You really need to clean them very very well and in fact sanitize them after use otherwise they'll become very, let's say, yucky.
I have a nice little marble cheese slicer. Simple wire with a groove in the plate for the wire to slice all the way through. The metal handle design allows for the wire to keep a tight tension. Plastic is never going to keep that tension.
I vividly remember as a kid, my grandma would buy a block/loaf of cheese and when it eventually was opened, she would grab a decent length of thread that had a fairly strong/high tensile strength and she would use it to slice the cheese evenly and accurately. She'd then put the thread in the package with the cheese and put it into the refrigerator, that way when she went back in to slice up some more cheese, she'd have it ready to go. It also made it so that the grandkids, like myself, didn't have to go searching for a bit of string either, nor would we need to get a knife and try to cut it without inevitably slicing a finger off, LOL... I'm sure there are some people reading this and cringing over what I'm saying, but it honestly worked really well. One of her favorite cheeses was Velveeta which, (I doubt there's anyone out there that doesn't know what velveeta is, but just in case it's a very soft cheese that looks and tastes somewhat like the sliced American cheese yet it's far softer and has a much creamier texture). Anyway, we would always pull the top off the Velveeta box, grab that string, and start slicing away so I could either snack on it, or make a sandwich. LOL. Talking about it brings back a lot of memories and reminds me how much I miss my grandparents. Good memories though. Good memories indeed...
@@ToniHinton that's what I used for years until my sons best friend gave me his old guitar strings. I soaked it and cleaned it and put it on some old wooden dowels I had. It cuts through cheese or cake so nicely. It even worked on tofu to make neat slices
When I saw the thumbnail, I was excited. About a minute into it, the feeling was gone. Out of all of your videos, I think I can count on one hand, the items I'd be willing to buy based on your demos. You're fair with the products and that's just how it is. That said, I love all of your videos, I've been a subscriber for a few years now and I can't wait for the next one. 👍
Hey, I bought three V-graters "As seen on TV" among other products and they were all very good except the eletric duster my mum bought, that was admittingly crap.
@@clevelandbci9562 Indeed, indeed! I also bought a set of knives that have these diamond shapes formed or pressed onto the blade so food won't stick. Works. Cuts. Just fine.
@@clevelandbci9562 Yeah, brilliant stuff! I'm on to these perma-seal flat boxes (a plastic frame and thick flexible foil), you know which ones? I like the concept but the execution doesn't really convince me. Too much material for what they really do (seal cut food); at 70% NO.....*sigh* Big No-No: Watches. NEVER buy them from sellavision. NEVER.
Awwww I was excited at first but after the tests you did and your friend did I wouldn't have that if it were free. I do like her cheese slicer though. Thank you for sharing 😀.
can’t believe i’ve been watching your video for 4 years now they really are my go to comfort vids always great quality hope you keep going for another 4
Loved this review! I learned so much about cheese. Your expert was wonderful. I hadn't thought about the air circulating around the block if it's stored in the chopper.
Fantastic video. Loved the experts knowledge and points that were super valid like the air still getting to the cheese in the storage portion. Was great info 👍🏻
I really like WonderWomanofCheese and I don't even know why. 🤣 I'm vegan, I haven't eaten cheese in over 10 years and I can't stand the fake stuff either. She just seems super cool (for a cheese eater 🤣).
@@prajna6107 no vegans doesn't eat any animal products. BTW being vegan is stupid u just become protein and vitamin deficient. Vegetarians however that I completely understand you don't want to eat meat but you still want to be healthy and get the all the things your body needs
Came for a cheese cutting lesson, stayed because of an OM reference! Odyssey of the Mind didn't always intend for your contraption to be very complicated... but I appreciate the mention and it brought back memories of trying to make a balloon popping toy car out of mouse traps
Great review of a bad idea. I like most cheeses sliced very thin and have a set of handheld cheese planes in different sizes that work perfectly for me or I use my cheese knife that has a very thin blade and the softer the cheese the colder it needs to be before slicing or grating for best results....
thank you for the time and effort you put into this review, this looks like a mess to clean and takes longer than just hand cutting 😅..hard pass. Edit : love the expert cheese lady!!
I use a vegetable peeler to cut my block cheese thinly and a standard box grader for anything else. I also use it to slice off thin curls of frozen butter, yes frozen butter, the kind you have to use when no one replaces the butter when it's out.
I've had one of these for over 10 years. I used it continually until i ran out of replacement cutting wires. This is exactly the same thing relaunched with a blade as well as a wire.
I have a cheese cutter I got from my parents. Its for block cheese but its basically the wire cutter in a handle with a wheel that runs along the cheese. works fine.
Great video as always James. I loved the thumbnail caption "Next Gen Cheese Cutter" with a picture of you smiling, like you just cut the cheese 😂. Please forgive me I have the sense of humour of a 12 year old.
I was also in Oddesy of the Mind! I had completely forgotten about that. I was it in for two years. I think the first year it was called Olympics of the Mind. They changed the name for some reason. It was fun, we got to travel to competitions.
Diana really added something wonderful to this review, both personality wise and in terms of knowledge and information. I lost it at "Ohh she thick tho" on the Brie, absolutely amazing! XDDDD 100% would love to see her come back on for any other cheese related gadgets. We've been managing with the simple tools for hundreds of years, inventors really have their work cut out for them if they're tackling cheese.
Ok calm down James, we're going from a normal guy reviewing random gadgets. To random guy reviewing gadgets with *EXPERTS ON THE FIELD* In all seriousness, it's pretty cool to have another perspective, especially that of an expert. I mean, yours is already enough because it's pretty apparent in most cases, but it's definitely cool to see what experts actually use, and definitely a comparison between "as seen on tv" vs regular (like in this case, a knife), vs an expert tool, as in this case, the wire.
I buy my cheese at the Supermarket Deli. They even have slicers to do the work for me! I wrap them at home and can store 4 different types of sliced cheeses in my refrigerator crisper bin.
I use a wire butter cutter to slice my cheese into small slabs for snacking and it works great. Best of all, it didn't cost anything since I got it from my grandmother.
I absolutely love the cheese chopper. I've been using it constantly for over 5 years and still works like new. I think you and the cheese "expert" are a bit physically challenged - I've never had any problem with mine.
I have a cheese keeper from Tupperware that I bought 30 years ago and it works well. I also tuck a half a sheet of paper towel in it and my cheese doesn’t mold.
said the same thing, my grand parents had one when i was a kid, the guy who made this just added a couple of extra attachments and said it was a new product
Well...it kind of sort of is. My Cheese Keeper doesn't slice or grate cheese...it just keeps cheese. And that fancy cutter that lady has...it cuts cheese, but doesn't grate or store it (and it's bigger). On the whole, it's really not a bad product if you just want no muss, no fuss. Buy the cheese, unwrap it, stick it in, put on the lid and put it in the frig. When you want cheese, take the lid off, advance the cheese with the wheel...slice or shed want you want, put the lid back on and back in the frig.
@@LadyGecko that's interesting, the old one my grandparents had, contained the same slicing thing as this one does, it just didn't have the grating bit, and the dial was on the back of the device not near the front like this one
Once you even use a handheld wire, you never look back. Then again, we go through about a block of cheese a week (2-4lbs). Pre cut cheese (not sliced for burgers mind you) is way more expensive than just cutting the cheese yourself.
@@rapmastac1362 we got 20+kg piece of cheese here.... good luck using a wire. cheese, whatever they are, are supposed to be cut with a blade. professional use a blade, not a wire. for info, i m french, i live near the swiss frontier. We have tons of cheese here (litteraly the place of cheese LOL), originaly created and i can tell you, using a wire here to cut cheese is a felony. Wire are used to cut butter, but not cheese, whatever the kind of cheese.
@@franktrinidad142 with your apparent infinite knowledge of cheeses, you should know not all cutting methods are equal. You wouldn’t commute to work with a lorry, nor would you tow a trailer with a Fiesta. “Cut soft-ripened or crumbly cheeses like Brie or Roquefort with a skeleton blade to minimize adhesion. Cut medium-hard to medium-soft cheeses with a wire slicer. Cut hard cheeses like parmesan using a knife with a pear-shaped blade forced into the cheese to "break" it.” As a meat cutter, I know you don’t start out with a paring knife, but I do know there is a knife that covers most bases. A knife cutting cheese covers less bases than a wire or wire based cutting device. A wire would cover more cheeses without ruining them than a knife. Btw, I live in Wisconsin, the cheese capital of the US.
@@rapmastac1362 cut Brie with a hole knife.. Hah, please do it. i m very curious tosee how great that cheese will be smashed in the middle. theses knifes with holes in it ain't anything required, nor usefull. they are just myth. wisconsin... the capital of thing you call "cheese" in the US?... good thing we both french and swiss are here for creating what's so called cheese XD the ustensil you use to cut the cheese is NOT the important point. The important point is the cheese itself. i can give you Munster that doesn't smell at all or Roquefort with hole like Gruyere if ya want... the chees itself is the key, the way you cut it is identical from the "style" but same from the ustensil used. it work exactly like spoon...wich one would you use to eat ice cream ? well, whatever one, the important is the ice cream itself, not the spoon.
can you imagine any other shape of cheese...like a Gouda ball or Parmesan? sof cheese like Brie or the like...BUT I think it might work better if you make (cold process or melt and pour) soap
The Maine advantage for me would be when I just want a tablespoon of shredded cheese for a baked potato or something. I wouldn’t have to drag out a shredder or what I normally do, just try to crumble it up small
I dont know what kind of square cheese the US sells but here in the netherlands none of the cheese would fit in there lol, cheeses are mostly round and cut in halves or quarters. Also this is an extreme bulky machine, over here we have a cheesecutter which you can hold in your hand like a knife, can cut thin slices with it, easy and small
To be honest as a fellow European (Germany here) I was bothered more about how the cheese looks than the funny cutter. How this thing should work with all the different sorts of cheese here available is beyond imagination. 🤣🤣
We do use block cheese, but cut it with a knife, I did think the shredding blade was pretty cool, but I wouldn't buy a product like that, the cheese and wine lady was awesome, great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
As others have said, Diana seems really cool and has a great presence on camera. If she sees this, you've got a real knack for professional and personable explanation. Get a youtube channel! Explain cheese stuff! It'd kill in the algorithm! Good stuff as always, James. Expert consultants are a good mix up for the reviews.
As someone who’s just looking for something sturdier than the shark tank gadget but doesn’t ever slice into entire wheels of cheese, a knife works fine
Amazing how people get gadgets like this to make things quick and easy yet are actually more time consuming,harder to clean and more cumbersome then just using a regular old knife
That cheese expert was super cool. She has great camera presence and is fantastic at explaining everything.
She should have her own channel. I love cheese but I feel like I don't know much about it and I don't have a local cheese shop.
Yeah, I liked her too
I thought she was fantastic too! She’s very personable, and that cheese selection looked GOOD!
Agreed.
10/10 cheese expert.
I would love to hear more from her, starting with storage and cutting of cheese and then going from there.
I loved the cheese expert haha. It was like asking a diamond expert to examine Claire’s jewelry
Can’t believe I watched a man cut the cheese over and over for 12 minutes
I didn't know I'd find a cheese expert that interesting. Great vid
I why didn’t I think of that zinger??? 🥸
😉
Hahaha yeah!
You can get the "pro" slicer she's using, and in stainless steel, for $90. It may be twice the price, but it's also twice as good and will last twice as long.
yeah but it can't shread cheese or scratch your table as easily.
Probably WAY more than twice as long.
For $90 you can buy a decent cheese knife and a ton of decent cheese. I have a cheap wire cutting board cheese cutter that came as a gift with cheese, it works just as well, except I find myself just using a knife 98% of the time.
I have a knife already thanks
@@markbajek2541 really the only decent feature seemed to be the shredder
I was 100% expecting bailey to be the cheese expert.
Lmao
Me too
Right?
I'm upset she wasn't.
The dog? What the hell is a dog gonna tell you about cheese? Slicing it or otherwise
Loved how the packing paper looks like shredded cheese.
That was probably the best thing about the product!
I thought it was for a bit
I don’t think he even picked up on that. He just called it “some mess”
I believe that was intentional 😄
Out of all the experts you've had on your channel I liked her the best. She had really good camera presenece and not only talked clear and in a way that you can understand but she was witty and charming. Hope you can do more collabs in the future.
Wow... Not only a great demonstration of the chopper, but a cheese expert to go above and beyond explaining why the chopper is limited in its usefulness. Definitely kudos to Diana for sharing her all-around knowledge - and tremendous camera presence, too boot. (And the next time I'm in Henderson - I know where I'll be stopping by).
To heck with the cheese Chopper! Let's take a tour around that fabulous wine and cheese store instead!
really liked the expert opinion, maybe collaborate with more experts in the future
Great point...this cheese gadget seemed very limited to what could be cut, and the expert was very kind in her opinions. James should include more collaborations such as this one; it really added that extra oomph to today's video!
I thought the cheese expert was going to be Bailey
I absolutely agree. She also had a great personality for the camera
I think the Sharks were wise to take a pass on this gadget. I like the Pro opinion and hope you can incorporate them in future videos (ie wine, coffee gadgets and maybe a short-order cook for all those egg gadgets)
Yeah it looks cheap AF. And it's just more to clean after using it. It does the same thing as a regular cheese grater.🙄

Cheese lady was really nice and helpful, nice review!
When I need to shred cheese, it is usually a relatively large quantity for a pizza or baked pasta dish such as lasagne, for that I use my food processor which does a great job in literally seconds. For anything else, I will use a sharp cheese knife or even a paring knife, depending on the cheese I am cutting. For storing cheese, I simply seal it in a vacuum container with my Food Saver vacuum sealer, which does a great job of keeping it fresh, literally for months.
A couple of tips... when shredding cheese such as cheddar or mozzarella, put it in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes first. You will get a better result, and when slicing a firm or semi-firm block of cheese, bring it to room temp first as it will prevent the cracking of the cheese and result in a much better finishing edge at the bottom.
Dude, shut up

Oh yeah he didn't even touch on cleaning and he typically does. Not sure if that thing's worth having let alone cleaning anyway.
A good chef's knife and a grater, easily stored and good for a myriad of other things in the kitchen!
It's trying to solve a non-existent problem

Diana is the real keeper ❤
Great review especially with the cheese expert.

I need this lady in my life! 😄 Cheese and wine expert....that all the essentials in life dealt with.
I think the wire us for Velveeta. They used to sell something almost identical that we had in the 70s
Thanks guys. Great video as always. I learned there is such a thing called cheese paper.... I never knew.
6:23 shes saying your chopper is too small buddy.😂
This product is legit for the average family that has block cheese I knew that from the beginning it’s not trying to appeal to a cheese head
cheese lady is very cool!
I have a small wire cheese cutter and I love it.
i wish i lived in vegas, i'd definitely patronize this cheese shop!
Loved the guest expert section!
Never thought I’d live to see the day where I saw James cut the cheese with somebody in one of his videos.
1978's Velveeta Cheese Slicer Saver (did anyone not have one?) but with a shredder and a harder to use mechanism to advance the cheese...
There is a device that can cut cheese in a flexible manner. Called a knife
Once you even use a handheld wire, you never look back. Then again, we go through about a block of cheese a week (2-4lbs). Pre cut cheese (not sliced for burgers mind you) is way more expensive than just cutting the cheese yourself.
@@rapmastac1362 we got 20+kg piece of cheese here.... good luck using a wire.
cheese, whatever they are, are supposed to be cut with a blade. professional use a blade, not a wire.
for info, i m french, i live near the swiss frontier. We have tons of cheese here (litteraly the place of cheese LOL), originaly created and i can tell you, using a wire here to cut cheese is a felony.
Wire are used to cut butter, but not cheese, whatever the kind of cheese.
@@franktrinidad142 with your apparent infinite knowledge of cheeses, you should know not all cutting methods are equal. You wouldn’t commute to work with a lorry, nor would you tow a trailer with a Fiesta.
“Cut soft-ripened or crumbly cheeses like Brie or Roquefort with a skeleton blade to minimize adhesion.
Cut medium-hard to medium-soft cheeses with a wire slicer.
Cut hard cheeses like parmesan using a knife with a pear-shaped blade forced into the cheese to "break" it.”
As a meat cutter, I know you don’t start out with a paring knife, but I do know there is a knife that covers most bases.
A knife cutting cheese covers less bases than a wire or wire based cutting device. A wire would cover more cheeses without ruining them than a knife.
Btw, I live in Wisconsin, the cheese capital of the US.
@@rapmastac1362 cut Brie with a hole knife.. Hah, please do it. i m very curious tosee how great that cheese will be smashed in the middle.
theses knifes with holes in it ain't anything required, nor usefull. they are just myth.
wisconsin... the capital of thing you call "cheese" in the US?... good thing we both french and swiss are here for creating what's so called cheese XD
the ustensil you use to cut the cheese is NOT the important point. The important point is the cheese itself. i can give you Munster that doesn't smell at all or Roquefort with hole like Gruyere if ya want... the chees itself is the key, the way you cut it is identical from the "style" but same from the ustensil used.
it work exactly like spoon...wich one would you use to eat ice cream ? well, whatever one, the important is the ice cream itself, not the spoon.
A new video James definitely needed this today getting a new tattoo 👍
can you imagine any other shape of cheese...like a Gouda ball or Parmesan? sof cheese like Brie or the like...BUT I think it might work better if you make (cold process or melt and pour) soap
should have waited a a few more weeks Dollar general will have have them soon
The Maine advantage for me would be when I just want a tablespoon of shredded cheese for a baked potato or something. I wouldn’t have to drag out a shredder or what I normally do, just try to crumble it up small
I dont know what kind of square cheese the US sells but here in the netherlands none of the cheese would fit in there lol, cheeses are mostly round and cut in halves or quarters.
Also this is an extreme bulky machine, over here we have a cheesecutter which you can hold in your hand like a knife, can cut thin slices with it, easy and small
Usually rectangle
To be honest as a fellow European (Germany here) I was bothered more about how the cheese looks than the funny cutter.
How this thing should work with all the different sorts of cheese here available is beyond imagination. 🤣🤣
You can get a cheese wire with board for about $10. I've had a cheese wire and board. for almost 10 years and it's still in great shape.
We do use block cheese, but cut it with a knife, I did think the shredding blade was pretty cool, but I wouldn't buy a product like that, the cheese and wine lady was awesome, great video 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘Cheers from Melbourne Australia
As others have said, Diana seems really cool and has a great presence on camera. If she sees this, you've got a real knack for professional and personable explanation. Get a youtube channel! Explain cheese stuff! It'd kill in the algorithm!
Good stuff as always, James. Expert consultants are a good mix up for the reviews.
What a wonderful video!!! Need to visit the cheese shop! (I’m a local NV).
As someone who’s just looking for something sturdier than the shark tank gadget but doesn’t ever slice into entire wheels of cheese, a knife works fine
Amazing how people get gadgets like this to make things quick and easy yet are actually more time consuming,harder to clean and more cumbersome then just using a regular old knife
Yup, absolute legendairy product!
she also looks like what the wonder woman of cheese would look like
So I don't know if you did it on purpose but when you said legendary I started laughing because cheese has Dairy LOL haha
