If you’re looking for an uncomplicated and satisfying lunch, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a cheese sandwich or toastie.
But slicing up a block of cheese for your meal can prove to be a challenge if you’ve chosen cost-saving over convenience by not buying pre-grated cheese – particularly if you don’t have the best knives at hand.
Luckily, a TikTok user has revealed her father’s ‘genius’ method for cutting cheese, which has sent fans into a frenzy with anticipation to test it themselves.
Theresa Hacking shared the ingenious tip through a viral video that has already amassed an astonishing three million views. The caption declares: “My dad’s new way of cutting cheese. Got all excited and couldn’t wait to make me a cheese butty.”
In lieu of a traditional knife – or the popular potato peeler alternative – her father is seen employing a pizza cutter to neatly slice a block of cheese on the countertop in preparation for a sandwich, reports the Mirror.
The ease with which the pizza cutter divides the cheese into perfect slice after perfect slice for sandwiches is something many viewers found ‘genius’.
This kitchen hack’s beauty lies in its simplicity: most people will find they already have a pizza cutter at home, rendering any additional expenditures unnecessary.
The comments section was soon full of people raving about how clever this hack was, with numerous individuals expressing their amazement at the ‘genius’ trick and eagerness to try it when next they face a block of uncut cheese.
One enthusiastic user exclaimed: “He’s a genius! ” while another equally amazed commenter added: “Wait wait no he’s onto something here.”
Several individuals endorsed the alternative of a cheese slicer, with one advising: “You should show him cheese slicers, they are a must have in every Scandinavian household.”
Nevertheless, some users shared their reservations about this method, as one remarked: “Anyone who’s saying a cheese slicer, the issue with one is it either breaks apart or is way too thin, that’s why ways like this are better.”
