String cheese? That’s a monster disguised as a snack. Never slice it fresh. It’s literally designed to be pulled apart.
If you must slice it, freeze it for 10 minutes first. It turns into a semi-solid stick. Then use a very sharp microplane for shreds, not slices.
Otherwise, just peel it. It’s more fun. Science says peeling string cheese creates a better mouthfeel. I’m not kidding. Just peel.
The “Rope” Method for Giant Balls
Got a massive, softball-sized mozzarella? Don’t even try to slice it like a loaf of bread. You’ll just cry.
Instead, cut it in half. Then slice it lengthwise into long, thick ropes. Then cut those ropes into bite-sized cubes.
Pro tip: Those ropes make incredible mozzarella sticks. Bread them immediately. Fry them. You’re welcome.
