What is the function of this wonderful machine?1. Cut the cheese into paper-thin slices
The ancients used it for hard cheeses like “Cheddar”, “Gouda”, “Emmental”
The idea: unless you cut the cheese with a knife, it crumbles and sticks. But the thin wire is smooth and gives you an equal unit slice. How about a maid? Put the piece of cheese on the drum. Pull “PRESTO” from the hand. Put the wire on top of the cheese and press down in one movement. It’s very thin and doesn’t let the cheese stick to it. Why “PRESTO” exactly? PRESTO was a popular American brand of kitchen appliances in the 1940s-1960s.
