I will second the salad shooter. It is a very useful tool in the kitchen. The harder you press the product into the shoot the thicker the slices. The easier you push, you get thinner slices. Does great on cheese either shredded or sliced. Keeping it well chilled prior to shredding or slicing makes it much easier. Clean up is a breeze. All goes into the dishwasher. No blades exposed when using. Very safe unit and no muscle power really needed.
