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

Fabulous... 👌🐖

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!

Amazing, I work in Brixton. @giofox88, let me know if you want me to pick up some aubergines for you! Haha

ill leave the key under the mat

That's a long way for aubergines.. Don't tempt me!
I'll stick to the good old trustworthy knife I guess..

Just made chicken meatballs. Chicken, (minced with my new mincer) garlic, breadcrumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, salt, pepper, fresh thyme and basil. Cooked them in the oven with a little olive oil. Ate them wrapped in little gem lettuce leaves with a slice of tomato, home-made mayo, finely chopped fresh chilli and a squeeze of lemon juice. Gooood.

Made a club sandwich this evening using this recipe but with chicken and a bit of truffle oil in the mayo. It is national sandwich week after all.

Get involved in the leytonstone food assembly each Wednesday in the red lion. You need to make your order and pay for it online. We do it each week and the food is superb

That's a long way for aubergines.

A bit rich coming from someone who goes to Italy for artichokes. :)

It was meant to be sarcastic (hence the "don't tempt me") :)

I often go off the way and travel more than required to source the ingredients I want, especially if justified by quality.
Many times I woke up early and cycled across London just to get some seafood from Billingsgate.
I'd definitely go to Brixton from Finsbury park for thinly sliced aubergines - despite how silly that is :)

You`d be welcome. I could also offer some home cured meats or chilli sauce as a trade for next time you get some artichokes or something similar!

Uuh, had I known before! I am afraid we'll have to wait for next year harvest for other fresh ones.. I guess I could trade a (equally smuggled from Italy) jar of pickled artichoke hearts, not the same thing, but I hope worth some of your amazingly home cured meats.

cold smoked maple cured bacon

1kg thick sliced please!
mega-jealous

Sure. I`d be happy to do any trade really. Happy to share more than anything.

Eating at Fiskebar in Copenhagen, fuck me I'm untrendy, didn't know whether to post here or hipster thread. Food excellent tho.

Mandolin?

Best stainless steel cookware, that is also induction friendly?

Can't find an all clad vendor here in the uk, their d5 stuff looks pretty good.

You may as well put Greenhell on ignore befor he does it to you.
