Few things hit the spot like a Reuben Sandwich—crispy rye bread hugging layers of melty Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut, juicy corned beef, and a creamy Russian dressing that ties it all together. It’s deli-level decadence, made effortless at home.
The secret to next-level Reubens? Paper-thin sauerkraut and cheese that meld into every bite. Enter the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater—your shortcut to fluffy Swiss shreds and drained, uniform kraut in seconds. No soggy bread. No chunky bites. Just pure, griddle-kissed harmony.
Ingredients (Makes 2 Sandwiches)
4 slices rye bread (marbled or seeded)
½ lb thinly sliced corned beef (deli or leftover)
1 cup sauerkraut (drained)
4–6 slices Swiss cheese (or Geedel-shredded equivalent)
3 tbsp Russian or Thousand Island dressing
2 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
Optional: pickle spear on the side
Step-by-Step: Reuben in 4 Cranks
1. Shred Like a Deli Pro
Lock your hand cheese grater with its suction base.
Fine blade: Feed in Swiss cheese → crank for airy, melt-ready shreds.
Coarse blade: Switch and shred sauerkraut → drains liquid, prevents soggy bread.
2. Assemble the Layers
Spread Russian dressing on one side of each bread slice.
Layer on one slice:
shredded Swiss
Warm corned beef
shredded sauerkraut
More Swiss (because melty)
Top with second slice, dressing-side down.
3. Griddle to Golden
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium.
Butter outer sides of bread.
Grill sandwich, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread is crisp and golden, cheese is oozing. Flip once.
4. Slice & Savor
Rest briefly, then slice diagonally.
Serve with a pickle spear and extra dressing for dipping.
