I know there's products out there like THIS and the Mario Batali version , but they surely won't live up to a commercial environment. I actually bought the Batali, and loved it, until the wires stretched and wouldn't line up anymore. There must be commercial mozzarella slicers out there. Any suggestions/recommendations? And yes, I am an addict. Quality is more important than price. |

Hmmm, I'd think the cheese would stick to that.... I did finally find THIS . One version will make 3/8 cuts, another 3/4 and yet another makes both(the most expensive of course). Anyone ever use one of these? |

Not at all, my tool of choice for slicing fiore di latte & mozarella di bufala. I have never tried it with dry mozarella. Matt |

LOL, I'm a touch obsessive compulsive... I'd probably go nuts trying to get the slices equal in size  |

I have been trying to find the tool that is used in the Polly-o video on how to make fresh mozz from curd.
It has multipe strings and you simply push the chesse through the wires. I don't know the proper name for it and have not been able to find it online.
The video can be found here

Groveb, this tool is called a guitar, if you buy lots of curd usually the company will give the tool to you but if you need a small one to cut a small 1lb mozzarella they are available at stores like Bed Bath&beyond. I bought mine from Linens& things when they were closing down. If you need a picture of my little guitar let me know.

I have seen the smaller home models for slicing the 1lb balls, just wanted something a little more heavy duty. The one from the video will likely be too much money. doesn't seem to be anything in between on the market. Maybe I could build one with a wood frame and stainless wire and guitar post parts.

Groveb,
I am not sure about building it with wood but I would rather try with steel frame,easier to clean and no mold will grow. Good luck
