Slicing Hints - Sunbeam Carveasy EK3800 Instruction Booklet

Slicing Hints

Always place food to be sliced on a wooden
or plastic cutting board. Do not slice food
on china; metal or bench tops, as scratching
may occur. Guide blades through food.
A sawing action is not necessary. Do not
force blades through food. To maintain the
sharpness of blades, do not cut through
bones, fruit pips or stones or any other hard
substances.
For best results when carving meat and
poultry allow cooked meat to stand for 10-15
minutes before slicing. this allows the juices
to set and makes carving easier and neater.
Before carving meat or chicken, remove
skewers. If desired, string may be left around
the meat whilst carving. The use of a carving
fork to steady the meat assists in carving
straight, even slices. Do not attempt to
sharpen blades.
We recommend when slicing foods like bread,
a light smear of cooking oil, margarine or
similar, on the inside of the blades will
reduce the friction.
