cheese plane

Thin slice tool

A cheese plane is a kitchen tool for slicing thin, even pieces from a block of cheese.

It has a flat blade with a slit that allows the cheese slice to curl up and over as you draw it across the surface: She used a cheese plane to shave perfect slices of gouda.

Also called a cheese slicer.
