z  Foods with an uneven texture-like fish and thin steaks –are often difficult to slice. 

Freeze for 2 to 4 hours before slicing.

z  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. 

z  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.

z  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 slaw), 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.
