Cut a cheesecake or tart

Make a clean serve with your next dessert, thanks to this clever tip.

Step 1: Dip a sharp knife into a heatproof jug of boiling water. Alternatively, run the knife under hot running water.

Step 2: Dry the knife quickly with a tea towel. The knife needs to be kept as hot as possible to easily cut through moist or sticky tarts.

Step 3: Use the hot knife to cut tarts, slices and cheesecakes. Reheat and dry the knife between slices.
