Electric Food Slicer
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS GUIDE
nDo not slice anything that contains bones, large seeds or
other extremely hard materials.
nRemove all wrapping material from food before slicing.
nDo not slice without using both the Platform and the
Pusher.
nRemove thick rind on food before slicing.
nTo slice meats or fish wafer thin, chill before slicing.
nUse the slicer to quickly cut cucumbers, potatoes,
zucchini, and onions.
nTomaintain the freshness of your sliced foods for up to
five times as long as traditional food storage methods, it
is recommended that you use one of Deni’s vacuum
sealers or vacuum packaging systems. Toorder, or for
more information, call 1-800-DENI-VAC.
Hot Roasts—Beef, Pork, Lamb, Turkey,Ham
nWhen slicing boneless roasts, remove from oven and
allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before slicing. The meat
will retain its natural juices and slice without crumbling.
nCut the roast, if necessary,to fit on the platform.
nPlace foil underneath the platform table to catch juices
and crumbs for easy cleanup.
nFor rolled or tied roast, remove strings one at a time as
the strings become closer to the blade (make sure the
motor is off).
Cheese
nSlice while well chilled.
nBeforeserving, allow cheese to reach room temperature.
This will enhance the natural flavor.
nSome process cheese may stick to blade. When
necessary, turn motor off and wipe blade with a damp
cloth. This moisture will help prevent the blade from
sticking.
nSome hard cheeses like cheddar will not slice properly.
Bulk Bacon
nChill thoroughly before slicing. Some types of smoked
bacon should have the rind removed.

®
Cold Cuts, Sandwiches
nCold cuts of meat will keep longer and will retain flavor
longer if sliced when needed.
nFor best results, chill first.
nRemove any plastic or hard casing before slicing.
nUse a constant, gentle pressure for uniform slices.
Fruits and Vegetables
nSlice potatoes for thick or thin chips.
nSlice cabbage for slaw.
nSlice carrots lengthwise in verythin strips. Soak in ice
water to curl.
nSlice zucchini, eggplant and squash.
nPeeled and cored pineapple can be easily sliced.
Breads, Cakes and Cookies
nFor dainty sandwiches, slice bread about 1/4”thick.
nFresh bread should be cooled before slicing.
nSlice all types of party breads, pound cakes and fruit
cakes.
nEspecially effective with coarse textured breads and
cakes.
Fruit and Cheese Tray
nSelect large, firmfruit. Thinly slice cored apples (peel
on), oranges, cored pears and pineapple. Arrange in
the center of a platter with thinly sliced swiss, American
or any cheese you prefer around the outside. (Fruit is
used instead of crackers.)
