To Prepare for Slicing
Cut into even lengths about 1" shorter than height of
feed tube. Stand pieces upright in feed tube, flat side
down, adding enough pieces so they cannot tilt.
Cut one end flat then cut lengthwise in halves or
quarters. Pack solidly in feed tube to prevent tilting.
Fill feed tube to about 1" from top.
Use light to moderate pressure.
Slice off top and bottom, leaving center section.
Place in feed tube, flat side down.
Cut off top and bottom, leaving center section. Cut
into wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove core.
Cut top and bottom pieces in similar wedges.
Use boneless cuts. Cut into feed-tube lengths.
Remove skin if desired. Wrap in plastic wrap and put
in freezer until it feels hard when you try to squeeze it
but is still easily pierced through with tip of sharp
knife. Remove plastic wrap and stand upright in feed
tube. Note: Chicken and beef for stir-fries should be
sliced with the grain. Boned, skinned chicken breast
will usually fit when frozen as described above and
cut in half crosswise.
Do not slice.
Cut into pieces to fit feed tube. Stand pieces in feed

in feed tube, flat side down (as described in

ways for longer shreds, or upright for shorter shreds.
