Slicing Tips

To slice meats wafer thin. chill thoroughly before slicing.
Meats should be boneless. Fruits should be free of seeds.
Foods with an uneven texture. like fish and thin steaks. are often difficult to slice. Partially freeze before slicing.

Cut the roast if necessary. to fit on the feeder. If roast is tied. turn off motor and remove strings one at a time as strings near blade.

Cheese

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

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