What is the easiest way to cube cheese?

Cubing cheese might seem straightforward, but a few tips can make the process even easier. First, start with a firm and cold block of cheese; this ensures cleaner cuts and reduces the risk of the cheese crumbling.

Use a sharp knife or a cheese slicer to cut the block into about half-an-inch thick slices. Next, lay the slices flat and cut them into strips of the same width. Finally, rotate the strips and cut them again to form perfect, uniform cubes.

This method saves time and results in evenly sized pieces perfect for salads, platters, or snacking.
