She wrote: “Probably my daftest moment ever – however, works an absolute treat. Use a peeler to slice your block of cheese.

“Perfectly slim slices of cheese in a fraction of the time it takes me to use a knife.”

Demonstrating how she does it, the woman then posted a picture of her running the peeler along the side of a block of cheese.

However, others pointed out that the peeler hack wouldn’t work on crumblier cheeses.

Following the whirlwind response, the woman joked: “I cannot be held legally responsible for any excess consumption of cheese that occurs as a result of trying this method out.”
