There’s something satisfying about making more of our food at home. Whether it’s a freshly baked loaf of bread, a roast prepared for sandwiches, or a block of cheese ready for the week’s lunches, having the right tools can make food preparation a little easier.
One versatile kitchen tool worth considering is the Cuisinart Kitchen Pro Food Slicer (FS-75). While many people think of electric slicers primarily for deli meats, this one is designed to handle bread, firm cheeses, and cooked roasts as well.
For everyday sandwich bread, uniform slices are especially convenient. They fit more neatly into sandwich bags, toast evenly, and make preparing lunches easier. Allow homemade bread to cool completely before slicing. A firm, well-cooled loaf is easier to handle than warm, delicate bread. Very crusty loaves or especially soft breads may need a dedicated bread knife instead.
Buying cheese in blocks gives you flexibility in how you prepare and serve it.
The Cuisinart slicer is designed to handle firm cheeses, making it useful for preparing portions for sandwiches, homemade crackers, and simple snack plates. Choose firm, well-chilled cheese. Very soft or sticky cheeses may not slice cleanly.
Another appealing use for a home food slicer is preparing sliced meats from home-cooked roasts.
Instead of relying entirely on packaged lunch meat, you can cook a roast with your preferred seasonings, refrigerate it thoroughly, and slice it for sandwiches. Making your own sandwich meats allows you to choose the seasonings and ingredients that go into the roast.
