Funny you ask Billy...
There is actually a bit of an art to getting into 'case hardened' cheese.

And what about the torque to yield stretch cheeses like mozzarella?
Also Swiss has a lower breaking point as the holes compromise the integrity.

To my shame as a trained Electrical Fitter, I have to admit to using one or two of these fuses, although I would draw the line at the 7.62.

Swiss Cheese( Emmental ) Is drilled out for lightness. You just need more of it.
Sadly because it is made of unpasteurised milk it is no longer allowed into Australia.

This thread reminds me of when I worked years ago with seismic shothole drillers. The mud pumps were equipped with a safety valve that operated by shearing a specified diameter nail. The drillers had learnt from experience, that you no longer had to bother about replacing the shear pin if you replaced it with an equivalent size allen key......

Ah brings back memeories of a day in Kuala Lumpur.

I was driving into the yard one day when this extraordinary mellee was occurring.
I had complained to Mr Loh the Embassy contractor that my fuses were blowing.
Mr Loh sent his untrained electrician who had a light bulb with two bits of wire. He couldn't find the fault so Mr Loh sent an actual electrician who placed a nail in the fuse holder. They had called a linesman from the Electricity department as they thought it was a fault on the wires outside.

As I drove into the yard Mr Loh's men were arguing loudly with the Electricity bloke who of course wanted a bribe to shut up about the nail.

Just then the maid came running out of the house screaming "The fridge has exploded"as indeed it had.

Silence suddenly overtook everyone as we got out of the car, and Mr Loh's electrician went inside to report that the fan in the freezer had fused. This was the problem all along. Cue workmen melting away ASAP. I don't know if a bribe was paid.
Regards Philip A
