HELPFUL TIPS FOR BEST CUTTING RESULTS
- To prevent the food slices from sticking to the knife when slicing, moisten the knife with a damp, clean cloth beforehand. This will make slicing quicker.
- When slicing ham, place the side with the fat facing up.
- To cut meat or fish very finely, place the piece to be cut in the freezer for a short time so that it solidifies. The time depends on the size of the piece, but it should not be frozen through (max. 20-30 minutes).
- Cutting warm meat (beef, pork, lamb, ham, etc.):If you want to cut a warm roast (boneless!), take it out of the oven at least 15-20 minutesbefore cutting. This will keep the meat juicier and you can cut it without it crumbling.
- Cheese should be chilled well in the refrigerator before slicing.
- Sausages will last longer if they are cut before consumption. Remove the skin before slicing. When slicing, apply light but consistent pressure to ensure even slices.
- This all-purpose slicer is ideal for slicing vegetables (e.g. potatoes, carrots, tomato oes, cabbage, pumpkin, zucchini, eggplant, …) or (pitted) fruit (e.g. peeled pineapple).
