Got a new toy. Ex deli second hand slicer. Makes a massive difference compared with hand slicing my bacon.

Tried it out yesterday with some cold smoked maple cured bacon. Ended up eating alot of slightly different sized slices

Doing it properly!

I'd remove the plastic shield, useless, and reset the cover disc with groves parallel to the rail. Also, from experience, unless you use it and clean it frequently, cover it with something, like a cloth or such

Also, where do you live? In case I need to slice some stuff..

Last time I wanted a thin sliced aubergine, the guy at Saintsbury deli didn't want to slice a same-Saintsbury aubergine with the slicer!

^^^^ What Gio said...

Also made easier by cutting off a smaller piece and slicing just that. Smooth strokes make for more even slices, almost like using a knife. Don't force it, let the blade do the work. With a bit of practice you can do it pretty quickly!

Thanks. I had put the cover disc on after cleaning and didnt notice the grooves!

thanks for the advice @brokebroadbeat. I am new to this.

I live in Brixton. Always welcome to come over and slice some stuff!
