DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. With the Support Leg secured to the work surface with the C-Clamp, make sure the Handle can freely rotate (FIGURE G).
2. Make sure the Combs are properly installed. DO NOT use the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer without the Combs in place.
3. Meat cuts should be 1¼" (3.2 cm) thick or less. Cuts of meat that are too thick may damage the Blades. Remove all bones or hard items in the meat before tenderizing or cubing. Damage to the unit may occur if bones or hard objects are pushed through.
4. Using the Tongs, insert meat into the opening at the top of the Chute until the meat contacts the Blades. Do not allow the Tongs to contact the Blades (FIGURE H).
5. While facing the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer with the Handle to the right, rotate the Handle CLOCKWISE to tenderize or slice the meat. The Blades will pull meat through the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer. DO NOT force meat into the Blades.
6. It may be necessary to pass the meat through the Cuber/Tenderizer several times to obtain the desired results. You may also pass the meat through at different angles if a different result is desired.

! NEVER REACH INTO the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer. Doing so could cause serious injury. ALWAYS USE THE PROVIDED TONGS.
! KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF THE BLADES AT ALL TIMES. Failure to do so may result in personal injury. The Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer is very sharp.
! DO NOT press or push meat into the Chute with your fingers or any other object. Doing so may cause personal injury and/or damage to the unit.
! NEVER use fingers to scrape food away from the Tenderizer/Jerky Slicer while in operation. SEVERE INJURY MAY RESULT.
! DO NOT push the Tongs or other utensils into the Blades.
! Remove all bones or hard items in the meat before tenderizing/cubing. Damage to the unit may occur if bones or hard objects are pushed through.

FOOD SAFETY

There are basic rules to follow when handling food. They are COOK, SEPARATE, CLEAN, and CHILL.

COOK

It's crucial to cook food to a safe internal temperature to destroy bacteria that is present. The safety of hamburgers and other foods made with ground meat has been receiving a lot of attention lately, and with good reason. When meat is ground, the bacteria present on the surface is mixed throughout the ground mixture. If this ground meat is not cooked to at least 160^ to 165^ (71°C to 74°C), bacteria will not be destroyed and there's a good chance you will get sick.

Solid pieces of meat like steaks and chops don't have dangerous bacteria like E. coli on the inside, so they can be served more rare. Still, any beef cut should be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 145^ (63°C) (medium rare). The safe temperature for poultry is 165^ (75°C) and solid cuts of pork should be cooked to 145^ (63°C).

SEPARATE

Foods that will be eaten uncooked and foods that will be cooked before eating MUST ALWAYS be separated. Cross-contamination occurs when raw meats or eggs come in contact with foods that will be eaten uncooked. This is a major source of food poisoning. Always double-wrap raw meats and place them on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator so there is no way juices can drip onto fresh produce. Then use the raw meats within 1-2 days of purchase, or freeze for longer storage. Defrost frozen meats in the refrigerator, not on the counter.

When grilling or cooking raw meats or fish, make sure to place the cooked meat on a clean platter. Don't use the same platter you used to carry the food out to the grill. Wash the utensils used in grilling after the food is turned for the last time on the grill, as well as spatulas and spoons used for stir-frying or turning meat as it cooks.

Make sure to wash your hands after handling raw meats or raw eggs. Washing hands with soap and water, or using a pre-moistened antibacterial towelette is absolutely necessary after you have touched raw meat or raw eggs. Not washing hands and surfaces while cooking is a major cause of cross-contamination.

CLEAN

Wash your hands and work surfaces frequently when you are cooking. Washing with soap and warm water for at least 15 seconds, then dry with a paper towel.

CHILL

Chilling food is very important. The danger zone where bacteria multiply is between 40^ F and 140^ F ( 4^ C and 6^ C). Your refrigerator should be set to 40^ F ( 4^ C) or below; your freezer should be 0^ F (- 17^ C) or below. Simple rule: serve hot foods hot, cold foods cold. Use chafing dishes or hot plates to keep food hot while serving. Use ice water baths to keep cold foods cold. Never let any food sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours - 1 hour if the ambient temperature is 90^ F ( 32^ C) or above. When packing for a picnic, make sure the foods are already chilled when they go into the insulated hamper. The hamper won't chill food - it just keeps food cold when properly packed with ice. Hot cooked foods should be placed in shallow containers and immediately refrigerated so they cool rapidly. Make sure to cover foods after they are cool.

NOTE: Special considerations must be made when using venison or other wild game, since it can become heavily contaminated during field dressing. Venison is often held at temperatures that could potentially allow bacteria to grow, such as when it is being transported. Refer to the USDA Meat and Poultry Department for further questions or information on meat and food safety.
