Instructions
Step 1
It is most convenient to cut food into slices using a special slicer or slicer. Some graters in the kit have a special attachment, which is one blade soldered into a plastic base at a certain angle. Only hard cheese, ham, sausage, cucumbers and zucchini can be cut with this attachment. Great care must be taken not to cut your fingers. Especially if the set for the grater does not include a special holder for the cut product.
Step 2
If you have a slicer, then your possibilities expand: usually such devices make it possible to adjust the thickness of the slice from 2 millimeters to 2 centimeters, while you can cut softer and less homogeneous products than in the previous case, products - low-fat varieties of cheese, bread, tomatoes, salami.
Step 3
If neither one nor the other in your kitchen arsenal, use a knife. It is advisable to use the so-called chef's knife. The longer, wider and sharper it is, the better. If the size of the cut product is small, then place an emphasis on the tip of the knife and, without taking it off the board, make slices. If you want to slice cheese, use a string knife; noble cheese - a special knife with a solid blade.
