Question about opening cheese package

[fljoe0]

Here is the best tool that I've found to open cheese packages. Not only will it open the package but it will slice the cheeses too. There are no companies that make a cheese blade for this kind of saw so I use the metal blade. The wood blade causes the cheese slices to be rough and have an inconsistent thickness. Be sure and use a cutting board or you could ruin your counter top.

Did you get the spare battery pack at purchase?

It comes with a charger too. Just no cheese attachments.

In Sweden when you "cut the cheese" does it mean the same thing as here in North America Kurben?

No, it doesn't. We have sayings with similar meanings but no cheese is involved.

 

[Neesy]

No, it doesn't. We have sayings with similar meanings but no cheese is involved.

In Scotland I think the proper term was 'breaking wind' but I cannot recall what the slang term was ... oh wait! I just remembered - "Let the wind gang free where the air may be" (my old Mom used to say this, believe it or not)

I would cut it in half (with the plastic on it) and then make a cut in the plastic at one of the exposed ends and then slowly peel away the plastic.

. . .Am I getting punked?

Somehow I feel as if I'm making a fool of myself . . .

No, you're not... Rrty had a (real) question to ask about opening a block of feta--because lets face it, that stuff is packed in there tight! But, somehow, the way he was very concerned over the issue, seemed to tickle folks a bit (and I am guilty because it did make me grin) so, it has now become a bit of a joke thread.
I am feeling a bit worried for Rrty about this though, because he hasn't come back to this thread... maybe we have to remember (I am reminding myself here) that folks are sometimes not in control of what worries them--and to exercise more understanding.

I am apologising to you Rrty if my comment earlier, was offensive, or hurt your feelings.

Thanks Flake . . .

I understand about the tightly wrapped cheeses . . .they can be a booger to open. And you can cut yourself if you're not careful, that's why I just cut that sucker straight down the middle and snip the plastic enough to get a good grip. I like cheese but I'm not going to cut my fingers!

I was in line at the grocer a few months ago and an elderly lady in line ahead of me made the saddest comment about a few of my items. She said she would never be able to get them opened. I looked at her hands and saw that she had very bad arthritis. I felt sorry for her.

My Nana has Raynaud's disease so I am always thinking in terms of 'how can an elderly person possibly open this?!' when I see packaging like that.
I spend a lot of my time at her place opening things for her... it's tough for her and people like this.

Knox...uh oh, he done starved his self to death, guess it's like they say, 'when ya gouda have cheese, nothin' else will do'...well, I'm sure somebody says that.

You are curious, aren't you? Well, we can say "släppa väder) which means approximately loosing weather. But according to one of our comical geniuses real men doesn't just break wind, they let off a housecleaner! Yes, our comedians can be rather silly and vulgar sometimes.

See? They're funny in any language...!

Housecleaner! Need to put them on the front lines of wars!

Oh Jeez, I do this for a job.



No! Not that!

I think I just found a new way to do my dusting . . .walking around tryin' to blow off the dust is starting to make me way too dizzy.

Are there different types of weather patterns to lose? (gail force, light breeze.. etc.)

My mom had arthritis in her finger and little to no grip strength in the hand. Can't tell you how many gadgets are available to open items. I still ended up opening and often transferring foods to other easy open containers. One would think manufactures would consider this issue.
