- Meats should be boneless. Fruit should be free of seeds.
- Foods with an uneven texture-like fish and thin steaks –are often difficult to slice. Freeze for 2 to 4 hours before slicing.
- At canning time, using slicer can quickly cut cucumbers, onions or other fruit for delicious pickles, apples pies, vegetable, hot roasts, beet, pork, lamb, ham ...etc.
- When slicing warm boneless roast, remove them from oven at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. They will return more nature juices and slice evenly without crumbing.
- Cut the roast, if necessary, to fit on food tray. If roast is tied, turn off motor and remove strings one at a time as strings near blade.

EXTRA-THIN SLICED CORNED BEEF OR FRESH BEEF BRISKET

Chill cooked brisket overnight in cooking liquid. Before slicing, drain and reserve meat drippings from brisket. Pat dry with paper towels. Remove excess fat. Slice well chilled brisket to desired thickness. To serve hot, place slices on heatproof platter and moisten with small amount of reserved meat dripping. Heat in 300^ oven for 30 minutes.

CHEESE

Chill thoroughly before slicing. Cover with foil to keep moist. Before serving, let cheese reach the room temperature—this enhances the natural flavor.

COLD CUTS

Cold cuts keep longer and retain flavor if sliced as needed. For best results, chill first. Remove any plastic or hard casing before slicing. Use a constant, gentle pressure for uniform slices.

VEGETABLE AND FRUIT

Your slicer is "made to order" for slicing many vegetables and fruits including potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage (for slew), eggplant, squash and zucchini. Potato may be sliced thick for casseroles or thin for chips. Fresh pineapple may be sliced neatly. Cut off top and slice to order.

BREADS, CAKES AND COOKES

Freshly baked bread should be cooled before slicing. Use day-old or slightly stale bread for extra-thin sliced for toasting. Your slicer is ideal for all types of party breads, pound cake and fruit cake. For wafer-like ice box cookies or chill dough in refrigerator, slice as desired.
