Cutting the cheese. No, I'm serious. Really.



Cutting large amounts of cheese curd usually employs the use of a curd "harp", like the two in this picture.  Harps are super expensive and have to be custom ordered to fit your kettle.  I have always just used a long knife and make the cuts by hand.  This works fine, but makes uneven slices of curd, and you can never reach the bottom of the kettle.


My Dad and I have been trying to design a home made harp for months, with ideas ranging from wide tooth hair combs to cutting apart and reassembling metal shelving units.  The other day I was in a hardware store and struck gold:  a $16 garden rake - the perfect Boss harp!
