You can have your own! I have one and it’s a lot of fun. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KJLQCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Xe9DAbFT0SFZS
Same. But replace cheese and grapes with cheese and cheese.
Something that's helped me is buying a cheese knife that lets you slice really thin slices. Like a cheese plane or wire cutter. Because I'm apparently two years old, and more slices makes me think I'm eating a greater volume of cheese.
A cheese slicer:)
I have this guy and it doesn't take up much space in the drawer and cleans up in about the same amount of time as a knife with a brush and soapy water. I don't think that I'm more prone to cutting myself while cleaning it than I am cleaning any other kitchen implement.
The cheese grater on the other hand... I have no clue how it gets me every single time...
This. I've had a Bellemain one for years. They are great. Metal, adjustable thickness, replaceable wire and only $10.

I don't find them so bad actually. I have a large and scarier one but i also like this handheld one https://www.amazon.co.uk/OXO-Good-Grips-Mandoline-Slicer/dp/B000YDO2LG which i find very easy and fairly safe to use.
Here's a manual one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cheese-Scraper-Tête-Moine/dp/B000KJLQCC
Me too for the same reason! I bought a great cheese shredder in amazon. It’s dishwasher safe makes it sooo much easier to shred cheese. Plus you can make zucchini noodles, slices etc with the different pieces. Saves time and energy with food prep.

They call it a grater.

Fuck those mandolins use cheese slicers instead http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Steel-Cheese-Slicer/dp/B000SSYY88/ref=pd_bxgy_79_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=157BQZRCKZ31AP23XCQ2
You could probably get away with a one-wire cheese slicer, something like this -- I have one at home and it's not bad for the price.
A good chefs knife (+ perhaps a steel and whetstone if you're doing it properly)
A mandolin, especially if they think their fingers are too long (I don't want one because I think they're lethal).
If you buy a lot of blocks of cheese, I highly recommend this cheese grater
I can do a whole block in less than a minute.
I got you, here :) it just looks nice
You ever used a cheese cutter like one of these? Instead of an actual blade, it uses a thin wire. Because the wire is thin enough, the intensity of force applied is great enough to cut.
Your weed whacker is the same way. It whips around the string so fast that it can cut through grass and weeds.
TL;DR
Kitchen Knife is to Lawnmower as Cheese Slicer is to WeedWhacker
I wasn't really thinking a centrifuge (news to me that's used in cooking), I was thinking more like basic deep fryer to large basket deep fryer.
Or basic hand held mandoline vs high quality mandoline.
An old adage says get the cheap tool first, if you use it enough that it breaks, get the high quality version. Then again there's also the adage of, get the thing that'll do the job the best even if it costs twice as much as the other option, the saved frustration is worth it.
I use this cheese cutter from Amazon. It works super well and has cut probably 100 bars of soap and the original wire is still working fine :)
When I moved away to college my mom bought me a Vidalia Chop Wizard and a mandolin slicer and I use them both every day. Vegan cooking requires a lot of prep for fresh vegetables and this cuts down on the knife work significantly! Plus all my food comes out in perfect dices and slices so it cooks and looks better.
Used for cutting softer cheeses as folks have said: raclette, mozzerella, etc
closest I could find
I work as a cheese monger and use this sort of thing to cut cheese like that:

(You need to buy the wires for it separately).
If that setup is out of your price range for this job, this should also do the trick but it's more work:

The peeler has a blade. The cheese slicer uses a wire and a rolling pin. The picture you commented on is not the same as the peeler you linked. As you will see from the link below, it is most definitely a cheese slicer - note how the peeler has a blade with a hole in it, but the cheese slicer uses a single wire above a rolling metal cylinder as the cutting mechanism.

As hard as it may be to believe, there are different types of cheese slicers. I have been using this type for almost 20 years.
I have a small handheld mandoline cutter that is a definite must have. it's not as precise as the big ones with specific measurments, but is small ad has the best size for anything, with thick thin and paper cuts.
here's the link. 10/10

I got something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000YDO2LG/ref=psdc_289783_t2_B01N34VS2I I've used it to make zucchini "lasagna noodles" and it works pretty well. Just mind your fingers!
Literally the best part removal tool I have ever found is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Calphalon-Gadgets-Dual-Cheese-Plane/dp/B000SDQGL6
Yes, it's a cheese slicer. Yes, I have taken my medicine, why do you ask? You just tape over the slicy part with heavy duty tape, then you can use the thin front scoop with the reinforcing section to wedge the parts off the bed.
A knife + my hands = Chunks
I meant something like this

It doesn’t make it any easier, but that seems to be the way the packaging is designed. You need a wide slicer for the big face like https://www.amazon.com/Westmark-Germany-Stainless-Cheese-Adjustable/dp/B000VJ81QK/

Just a handle with a wire strung across part of it basically. Cheap, adjustable, and Now I wish I still had one because I hate cutting cheese
I was closer to $100, but we had 50 guests yesterday. Still, so much awesome cheese left! Also, you should get your dad one of these as a gift: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KJLQCC/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687682&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001WSFJVY&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1N89WFZV1NDF530B7NEW
Everybody loves to make cheese curls and the cheese for it (Basque) is delicious.
My parents use this to slice cheese and it works well:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KFO3BMK/ref=s9_zwish_hm_b1DNY_g79_i1
IIRC, it's not big enough to make "normal" sized cheese slices, but it's perfectly fine if you don't mind making the slices a little smaller.
Edit:
Otherwise there's this, which might work better for you but I've never used one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HMB0IM/ref=s9_top_hm_b1DNY_g79_i1

There are a few of them on amazon like this one and this one. They look pretty cool. My cheese grater is just a flat grate with multiple attachments on it.

Barmix Cheese Slicer, Heavy Duty and Durable Stainless Steel Cheese Plane Cutter for Hard Cheese, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZB5BH1K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_aX4kDbJX9JQ42
I use one of these actually. It can evenly slice an entire brick of cheese in under 5 minutes.
If you put it on a smooth surface and turn the lever, does it stick to the surface? Some kitchen gadgets like apple corers and vegetable slicers use a lever-actuated suction cup to stick to the counter. It might be the base of something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Valuetools-Manual-Rotary-Cheese-Grater/dp/B07896RK6Y/ref=sr_1_2?qid=1556497951&refinements=p_n_feature_twenty_browse-bin%3A3254109011&s=kitchen&sr=1-2
It doesn't take that much more effort to cook a reasonably healthy meal than it does to make some of that junk food.
Chicken breasts: poultry seasoning, black pepper, a little olive or vegetable oil, pan fried. "Prep" time is about 2 minutes, then it's time for the chicken to cook. If you really want you can make a bag salad on the side, otherwise get yourself a salad spinner and a couple of heads of red leaf and green leaf lettuce. Wash the lettuce, and just leave it in the spinner for several days. It will last. Toss in a side of frozen veggies if you don't want to do the lettuce thing.
Burgers: Get a few pounds of regular ground beef. You can pre-shape your patties or you can freeze the whole pound and take it out a day or two before you know you'll want burgers. If you want cheese, watch for a sale on the block stuff, get yourself a cheese slicer, and slice up the cheese when the burger is cooking.
There's a plethora of simple chicken and pork recipes out there that don't take long to prepare.
There are also blogs like Budget Bytes where the meals are cheap, relatively easy, and don't take up too much time.
I know what it's like to come home dead tired and just want to make a box of mac and cheese or toss a frozen pizza in the oven. There's nothing wrong with doing that on occasion. However, it doesn't take nearly as much effort as you seem to think it does to make a meal that's actually fairly healthy.

How long does it take you to finish the cheese-block?
Normally, I cut a larger block of cheese into a smaller cubes, and then wrap each block in normal plastic-wrap.
Sometimes I use one of those butter-slicers to cut some of those blocks of cheese into even smaller blocks, just for easier use. (These butter slicers are also great for portioning butter for bullet-proof coffee).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000DDVSE
I usually put all of those wrapped blocks in a gallon ziplock bag.

If you want perfect cubes each time, use a large mandoline slicer to slice the tomatoes into discs, then use a vegetable chopper to cube the discs.
If you don't care about perfection, quarter the tomatoes and pulse a few times with a good food processor.

This was my Xmas gift for myself.
Are these style of slicers any good? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000VZA2W/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?qid=1449354004&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=cheese+slicer&dpPl=1&dpID=31vYyx2LJZL&ref=plSrch Are there any that are better than others?

I love this mandolin.
Compact and affordable, just wear cut resistant gloves as the guard is frustrating to use.
Or even more simply, a one piece cheese slicer. It's a Norwegian invention and commonplace in basically all Nordic households. https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-Stainless-Steel-Cheese-Slicer/dp/B000SSYY88
My favorite thing about mandolins (http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Hand-Held-Mandoline-Slicer/dp/B000YDO2LG) is when you get distracted and drown your food in blood.
I recently bought one and I bought the Mueller V-Pro. It's $30 on Amazon and has great reviews. It works really well.
https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Austria-Adjustable-Mandoline-Slicer/dp/B01CT63964/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1498255424&sr=1-1&keywords=Mueller+Austria+V-Pro+5+Blade+Adjustable+Mandoline+Slicer+%E2%80%93+White%2FGrey
When shopping for mandoline you want to look for sharpness of the blade especially if it isn't removable, being able to adjust thickness reliably, stability (make sure it isn't handheld and will stay on surface well), versatility (can you switch out the blade for different cuts), is the thing easy to wash (if it's not, you'll never want to use it), is it easy to store (do you really have space for a bulky thing that doesn't fold up). You may not be able to find something that satisfies ALL of this, but choose what matters and buy accordingly.
I agree with someone else's suggestion about a cut glove. I have one and it's what I use to make sure I don't slice my hands. Also, an extra-wide mandoline is helpful for big veggies, otherwise they scrape on the sides.
Cheese slicer
Bellemain cheese slicer is the best one I have found. Still working after a year and I haven't stretched or broken the wire yet. All stainless steel, the size adjuster stays put and can be tightened with screwdriver or just finger tight, they include a spare wire with purchase.
I use this to cut my mozz for pizza and baked ziti instead of messing around with graters and grated cheese. This allows even cheese distribution and better co trip of cheese placement.
Including a link on amazon if not against rules... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018MLW8MG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ypaVBb8E0WRFX
I use a cheese slicer like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Prodyne-805B-Cheese-Slicer-Beechwood/dp/B00004S1DU/
I screwed a small piece of wood to the side, and another small piece above the wire (to maintain bar thickness).
I would suggest cutting a bar that's 3oz, mark the spot that corresponds to that thickness, screw a piece of wood in as a guide, and use this.
why not a hand held wire cutter like this: https://www.amazon.com/Westmark-Germany-Stainless-Cheese-Adjustable/dp/B000VJ81QK/ usually much easier then a knife (less effort required and more even slice)
Do you have a butchers knife?
Or: https://www.amazon.com/Prodyne-805B-Thick-Cheese-Slicer/dp/B00004S1DU
I remember my family had this and it worked OK but if money is no object, I think the electric version is way better. I'm not sure if one brand is better than another.
Would you advise getting this instead-- it's only $20: https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Austria-Adjustable-Mandoline-Slicer/dp/B01CT63964
Very cool! Been thinking about investing in one of those. I want it more to fry up some battered shrimp or something, though.
Microwave chips are easy. You don't even have to peel the potatoes...just give them a good scrub. Slice them really thin (mandoline helps with this). I like to cut them right into a bowl of cold water, because it helps to get a bit of the starch off, and it keeps them from browning. Bonus tip: salt the water beforehand to give it a bit more flavor. Take them out, pat them dry.
From here, couple ways you can do it. If you have one of those microwave bacon trays, give it a coating of veggie oil so they don't stick, and put the chips on in a single layer. Cook for 5ish minutes, until they start to brown and curl up a bit.
If you don't have a microwave bacon thingy, just arrange them on a large dinner plate. Cooking time is 3-5 mins, depending on your microwave, so experiment to find your ideal time, and don't be discouraged if you undercook or burn a couple batches to find the right time.
Put on whatever you want, and enjoy some chips that are healthier than those fried in oil.
Are they small enough in diameter to fit into a butter slicer?

It depends on what kind of cheese or what I'm doing with it.
I have one of these for cutting small blocks into sort of thick-ish slices like I might want with sliced apples or pears or something like that.
I use a slicer like in your post for getting thin slices off a big block of cheese for serving with thin sliced meats or for making sandwiches like Rubens or Monte Cristos.
For most plain grilled or cold sandwiches I just buy American, Swiss or Provalone already sliced.
Cheeses like Mozzarella, Cheddar and Parmesan to use in lasagna or on tacos or enchiladas or casseroles I usually just run over a cheese grater, though I sometimes get lazy and don't grate the Mozz.
I adore Longhorn Colby which I buy in waxed cylinders. I just cut it into thick slices with a knife and then into cubes. I usually spear it on toothpicks with some kind of sweet fruit like red grapes or halved strawberries.
We use quite a bit of cream cheese too. Just spread that on bagels or spread on ham, covered with thinly sliced green olives and rolled up!
My cheese slicer, I use it daily

Something like this
I use this, which is pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-330-Adjustable-Cheese-Slicer/dp/B000HMB0IM/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1453310513&sr=1-4&keywords=cheese+slicer
Yay that your boss went for an Amazon GC :) It's great of you to share!
I really, really want a second gen Nest Protect smoke alarm. Kind of pricey but you get what you pay for in a good way! It's the best selling smoke alarm on Amazon. The company makes really good advanced products. They have dual sensors and a carbon monoxide alarm. No other alarm has that. They interconnect with each other wirelessly, and talk to give you information. They alert your phone and have different color alerts, and more. (Actually, I really want 3 of these, but 1 would be a good start. What we have are so old and crappy that I don't trust them at all. They are the $10 kind, and I should have replaced them at least 3 years ago.) I think this is what people need to be safe.
I also want this professional stainless steel mandoline badly, either one of the versions available, because it's built tougher than the others that have plastic parts. The reviews are so good, and I think it would outlast two of the others, and be easier to use, so it would be very worth it. A lot of the others don't cut as evenly or are difficult to hold and move the fruit or vegetable. I want this for making healthy homemade snacks.
I really need the Levo Deluxe holder for tablets so I can see and use my ereader and old tablet while I'm flat on my back. I'm planning ahead and trying to get the items that will help during recovery from surgery and I won't be able to prop up my head or use the laptop or TV. It's a bit expensive, but this is the second generation one that works better. This holder seems better than all the other ones I've seen because this can suspend the tablet facing down from above. This can also be great for mounting the tablet when you're sitting on the couch or bed, or at a desk, like pictured, so I would use it regularly. (The non-deluxe version is $54.99 on Amazon. They also have a version that stands on the floor instead of clamping on a table.)
I also would be so happy to have the pink vibrator from my NSFW list. I am not linking to it because of it being NSFW. It came out last year and won an award for the unique motion it has. It has some great reviews, and I would love to try it. I think most women should try toys like this one, even if you're currently happy, maybe this would be better!
Another thing that would be extremely cool and useful to have is a portable scanner that is really light and small. Any that's good, but I have put this color mobile document scanner on my wishlist. It has better reviews than the Epson and it's currently cheaper because a seller has refurbished ones available. It's quick and has such good reviews. This will help prevent things from getting lost and cluttered when we are out of town or just out in the car. I think these are going to sell out before you get a chance to decide because Amazon is ranking it number one for mobile scanners. A few minutes ago, the seller had 3 left, and now they have 2 left. But it says "more on the way" so hopefully these can be backordered or gotten later.
I took your recommendation for a soap slicer and looked it up on Amazon.
Amazon suggested this cheese slicer. You think that would work for Fudge?
For the thickness....it depends on the flavor. Some of her flavors are thicker than others. That's when she calls me in to do it.

These things are fun for parties.
I agree with everyone here that good knives / cutting boards are essential and truly all you NEED.
​
However...
​
Sometimes it's nice to be able to chop up a TON of onions in a jiffy if you're batch cooking.. or to be able to quickly and evenly slice thin potatoes for chips.. the list goes on and on. So on that vein I have two recommendations for you:
Cuisinart 14 Cup Food Processor - I've had a similar model for about 15 years and it is virtually indestructible. I use it when I do once a month cooking, big batch cooking, pie doughs, and for sauces or chili when I don't want my kids to realize they're eating a bunch of veggies. :-) I've also heard they make the best whipped cream, but I've never actually tried that (I love my Kitchenaid too much). Definitely comes in handy if you have a whole bag of onions to chop and time is precious.
​
Mandolin Slicer - I don't have this particular brand, but the reviews are really good. I typically pull mine out when I need to slice a bunch of things and they all need to be precisely the same width (like if I'm making chips, for example). It's far from a necessity, but it is nice to have when it's needed.
​
I have wasted countless dollars on gadgets like food choppers and garlic presses and all they end up doing is taking up space. These two items, though, have stood the test of time. I turn to pretty frequently and think any cook would be happy to have them.
You can totally mince onions and garlic with a micro plane grater. This 'pulps' and rips apart the cells. Also works great for ginger and can zest a lemon and lime.
You can get uniform slices with a simple Mandoline slicer:
https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Adjustable-HandHeld-Mandoline-Slicer/dp/B000YDO2LG/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1498966588&sr=1-5&keywords=mandoline+slicer
This will at least give you disks of onions at 1mm or 2mm thickness, then you use a knife for the rest.
Buy a [cheese slicer] ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HMB0IM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1375248814&sr=1-1&pi=SL75) . You'll thank me later.
