Review on 🌿 Omnigrid Green 14" Rotating Mat Cutters & Accessories: Enhanced Precision and Versatility by Carol Miller

Cheesecake?

Yes. That's why I have mine and that's the only thing it's used for. I'm making 12" x 3" cheesecakes and need to cut them into 12 equal slices. Each cake weighs a ton. Each piece is a meal in itself. When the cheesecake is done, chilled, and ready to slice, I transfer it to a 12" circle (food-grade cardstock) and then place it in the center of the Omnigrid spinning mat. Directly above I take my 14 inch cake cutter and carefully cut through the filling (with cooked fruit) following the 30Β° marks on the mat. I make 6 cuts across the cake from a 30Β° mark to the 180Β° mark on the opposite side of the cake, find 12 pieces and cut the fruits that are on these lines. After that, using a long piece of unwaxed, unflavored dental floss, I run the floss from the top through the cake where the topped slices started, through the crust to the cardboard circle at the bottom at the appropriate 30Β° marks. The result is a gorgeous 12-inch cheesecake with 12 absolutely identical slices. The rotating mat allows me to make a cut, then rotate it and make the next cut until I have 12 identical slices after 6 cuts all over the cake. The carpet makes this rather difficult and complex task quite easy. The 30Β° guides are crucial for perfect cutting, and the fact that you can rotate the mat into positions where it stays stationary makes the task much easier than if you only had 30Β°. Β° marked. The markings alone enable perfect discs. The rotation makes it easier to create perfect discs. I can make my giant cheesecakes without the Omnigrid turntable, but when it comes time to cut them, I can't expect perfect slices. Now I can with this very useful tool.

Pros
