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 into 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 into wedges to fit feed tube upright. Remove
core. Cut top and bottom pieces into similar
wedges.

put in freezer until it feels hard when you try to
squeeze it but is still easily pierced with tip of
sharp knife. Remove plastic wrap and stand
pieces upright in feed tube. Note: Chicken and
beef for stir-fries should be sliced with the grain.

when frozen as described above and cut in half
crosswise.
