Using a hand-operated meat slicer involves a few simple steps. First, ensure that the slicer is placed securely on a flat surface. Depending on the model, there may be a handle or a rotating knob to turn the blade. Before starting, it's important to adjust the thickness of the slices using the appropriate setting.
To begin slicing, secure the meat against the guide, which ensures consistent slices. Using gentle, steady pressure, rotate the handle or turn the knob to move the blade. Continue slicing until you have reached the desired amount of meat.
Once done, the slicer can be cleaned with a damp cloth, ensuring that any remaining meat pieces are removed. For safety, it’s important to always store the slicer with the blade covered and out of reach of children.
