Slice through goat cheese with perfect ease!

Cutting through soft cakes and cheeses can be a nightmare. No matter how sharp your knife is, the slices turn to mush or come out jagged and torn. What a waste!

But here's a trick that will make it so much easier: use dental floss!

Hold a piece of floss tightly between your fingers, and use the taught center to gently slice through your food. It won't compress your delicate cheeses, and you'll come out with beautiful slices! Remember to use unwaxed, unflavored floss — unless you'd like a slightly minty edge to your nibbles!
