Tips

• To slice meats wafer thin, chill thoroughly for 2 to 4 hours before slicing.
• 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. Chill for 2 to 4 hours before slicing.
• When slicing warm boneless roast, remove them from oven at least 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. They will return more natural juices and slice evenly without crumbing.
• Cut the roast, if necessary, to fit on food plateau. If roast is tied, turn off motor and remove strings one at a time as strings near the blade.

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 perfect for slicing many vegetables and fruits including potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, cabbage (for slaw), eggplant, squash and zucchini. Potato may be sliced thick for casseroles or thin for crisps. 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.

Cleaning

UNPLUG SLICER FROM OUTLET
