I did use some of my birthday money to buy the food slicer.Ive used it twice now.I carved a ham joint and today i sliced a homemade loaf of granary bread.I'm well pleased .Perfect slices and as I'm totally useless at slicing bread this is going to be a godsend.
Its pouring with rain here and i have a line fall of washing out,hoping that it stops in a moment so i can go and rescue it.
Been up in the loft this morning and sorted some clothes out,i put them in a case and then forget about them.I don't have loads of clothes to start with so now i will have something different to wear for the next few months.I also sorted out some old handbags all going on freecycle as part of my decluttering.
Off to my eldest daughters for dinner tonight, 9 of us.I have given them a large leg of lamb which i had in the freezer.DD is colouring our hair( 3 of us ladies) so dinner and pampering cant be bad.
Until later

I was given a slice earlier this year and I LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteTIPS I have found which you may find useful...
Brilliant for ham [I get cheap joints in Aldi to cook]
Bread - I find wholemeal & granary slice better than softer white loaves- but homemade needs to cool completely for best results.
My slicer has a 'cheese' setting - but I think I must have experimented with the wrong cheeses!
One other thing - if yours is the Lakeland one like mine [1] it took me AGES to realise that the blade is re-attached after cleaning by turning ANTI CLOCKWISE.
[2] the panel which moves in and out to determine slice width comes right off for cleaning.
have a lovely girlie evening with DD!!

Hi nto, I thought the slicers were for meat not bread, thats what has been putting me off baking lately having huge wonky doorsteps when I'm try to lose weight! It is a great idea.
