Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fox Run Marble Cheese Slicer
Customer Review: cheese cuter
Summary: 5 Stars
Works like a charm, does what I want. Good quality, should last a life time.Customer Review: Nice product!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very useful product if you serve and/or consume a lot of block style cheese. The wire cuts a nice, unmutilated piece of cheese in any size that is desired from extremely thin to extra thick. Not sure how it will work on the smoked cheese that comes with the wax wrap, but intend to try this out soon. Seems to work on hard and softer cheese with equal ease. Sure beats using knives!
Clean up is quick and easy with the marble base and the nonskid protectors are a nice feature.
The only issue I have is that the marble corners are imperfect and it looks as if they were hit and damaged at some point. They were chipped --a quality control issue??? Perhaps some cornice or steel plates affixed to these corners would protect the marble from that.
It will be interesting to see how long the wire remains sharp, but it's nice that it comes with two extra ones! I hope this has a long life in my kitchen.
Customer Review: OK for dishwasher, need to re-glue the feet
Summary: 4 Stars
A nice heavy little cheeseslicer, but cheaply made. The weight keeps it from sliding around and you can chill it; it will stay cool a long time. They use a very cheap glue for the feet, so you will need to re-glue them with a strong glue when they come off. Once I reglued the feet with a good waterproof glue, I have never had to do it again. The wire is not strong enough to cut really hard cheeses like Parmesean; no wire type slicer is. The wire will eventually break. There should be a replacement wire taped to the bottom. It is slightly difficult to replace. You can get additional replacement wires off the internet for about a dollar including shipping; I seem to have lost track of the link but I have done it.
Dishwasher safe once you reglue the feet.
Customer Review: Received broken
Summary: 4 Stars
Received the marble cheese cutters today. Yes two in one shipping box. They arrived with no soft packing, had one air bag on top in a sturdy box. Airbag was deflated on arrival. One marble base broken across where the wire slit is in it so totally unusable. Second marble base survived shipping but for some reason the wire was broken when I took it out of it's box. Since marble is very brittle it would make sense to have such items packed with more cushioning material. With the legs on the ends and a score across the marble any sharp jar is likely to break it. From other reviews it seems a lot of wires come broken. Cannot see what would cause breakage.Customer Review: Good for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
The marble base is well built, the cut for the wire is just about perfect.
You get 2 extra cutting wires, good addition that wasn't mentioned in the product info.
I can see where the handle can be a problem. The handle needs to be adjusted to a specific spot so the wire is straight and tight. Out of the box, mine was setup wrong. Not a big deal, and an easy fix. But I can see that long-term this will be an issue, I'm thinking of putting a dab of lock-tite on the threads to help hold it in place for the lifespan of the wire.
Overall, I'd recommend it for a $14-ish slicer.
