Title: Extracting cheese plug from the Trier
Post by: bansidhe on September 04, 2021, 03:40:48 AM
Im not sure where this should be posted but this seems to be a suitable place.  I have a cheese trier.  I can insert  it, twist it and pull out a nice plug of cheese.  My problem is I cant get the cheese out of the trier.  I tried to use my fingers to push it off but I cut myself on the edges.

How does one get the cheese plug out of the trier?

thanks

I would think pushing from the end with a wooden dowel or some such should work.... The trier is a channel, is it not?....

It is.  But I dont have a down the right size....  All the dowels I have are too big.  Even my chopstick ends were to wide.  The other side of the chop stick too small actually, it made kind of a mess.   I was just wondering if anyone had other techniques for moving the cheese.
