Hi, can anyone help, i am preparing a buffet for tomorrow and having a problem with cheese and pineapple cocktail sticks.
When i thread the cheese cubes on to the sticks they split in half any ideas to prevent this please.

What sort of cheese are you using?
You can use gouda or edam cheese for your cocktail sticks with onion or pineapple. Don't use cheddar as it crumbles when you stick the cocktail sticks.

Thats easy - I use cheddar - clean hands and hold the four sides of the cube firmly as you thread - wont split!

Edam as has been suggested is best as it's much less likely to crumble. Cheddar tasty as it is does have a tendancy to crumble IME

Try bringing the cheese to room temperature first.

Are you putting cheese on stick by skewering right through it ? As others have said I just stick it on the end of the skewer so only go through about half of the cheese cube.

I was trying to put two cubes on a stick but in the end had to take your advice and put the cheese on the tip,
