5.1 Food Slicing Tips
WARNING
This Meat Slicer is not meant to cut through any bones! Severe damage to Meat Slicer will occur and Warranty will be voided!

•  Always debone meat before slicing
• Fruits should be free of seeds (peaches, apples, avocadoes etc.) The exception is tomatoes.
• DO NOT slice fully frozen foods.
• If you have to large of a cut of meat (roast or slab bacon) you may need to cut into a more manageable slicing pieces.
• Food with an uneven texture, like fish and thin steaks, are otien difficult to slice. Put in freezer for approx. 20 minutes to par ally freeze.

Cold cuts: Cold cuts keep longer and retain flavor if sliced as needed. For best results, chill to approx.:40°- 48°. Remove any plas c or hard casings before slicing. Use a constant, gentle pressure for even slicing. See “IMPORTANT” for best slicing results.
Cheese: Cheese can be difficult to slice (especially so cheeses). Any amount of Mineral Oil can be lightly applied to blade with a paper towel, to keep the cheese from s
cking during slicing. Caution -Blade sharp. Chill cheese thoroughly to approx. 40° – 48° before slicing. Before serving, allow cheese to reach room temperature.
IMPORTANT: If cheese is (scking to) binding on the blade when slicing:
A) Re-chill cheese so it is colder (not frozen).
B) Use less tension on the Food Pusher #12 against the blade.
C) Use SLOWER slicing strokes.
Breads & Cakes: Freshly baked bread should be cooled to room temperature before serving.
Use day old bread for extra thin slices for toast. Your slicer is ideal for all types of breads, pound cake or fruit cake. Chill breads or cakes to approx. 40° – 48° for easier slicing and to avoid tearing or crumbling.
Hot Roasts: Beef, Pork, Lamb, Turkey, Ham: When slicing warm boneless roasts, remove from oven and let it set for 20-30 minutes (room temp) before slicing. They will retain more natural juices and slice evenly without crumbling. Cut the roast if necessary, to fit on
