Product Description

Amazon.com Review

In his campaign for accessible, delicious food, Mario Batali is one of the most popular chefs and restaurateurs in the world. Created by Copco and inspired by Batali, the Italian Kitchen line of cookware and tools reflects the famous chef's philosophy that great food needs no gimmicks. Durable, versatile, and high quality, the collection is perfect for the active home chef.

This stainless-steel wire slicer cuts whole balls of mozzarella into even slices without ruining their shape. Great for making pizza, salads, appetizers, and panini, the slicer has a non-slip base for stability and is corrosion-resistant. The center is evenly shallow to keep a cheese ball from rolling. For easy cleanup, just run this unit through the dishwasher. --Emily Bedard

Product Description

There is nothing like the taste of fresh mozzarella. To create clean, even slices, without flattening, it's best to use a counter top slicer.

4.0 out of 5 stars A guilty pleasure, September 23, 2007

I decided to buy this relatively expensive gadget because I was sick of cutting mozzarella di bufala with a knife and then trying to massage the squished pieces back into shape. With this mozzarella slicer, I can get beautifully uniform, perfectly formed slices in seconds, and I love it! The only downside is that the slicer is pretty bulky, so you can't just throw it in a drawer without thinking-- it needs to be assigned its own place, and in my teeny kitchen, storage space is always at a premium.

I bought one of these today from a local shop. I just had happened to have purchased a mozzarella ball yesterday, and thought this would be perfect for cutting it up for pizza. Used it this evening, it did a perfect job. It is essentially a large, sturdy egg slicer. It has silicone on the bottom to keep it from sliding while slicing.

I've purchased several Batali products and have been more than pleased. So I didn't hesitate at all when I saw the Batali name even though this seemed a bit expensive. But I challenge anyone to slice a large piece of mozzarella with this. I have to cut them into 1/2" to 1" thick pieces and then "carefully" slice them with this slicer. I use it about once a week when I make pizza and am surprised it hasn't already broken.
