HELPFUL HINTS

This blade is very versatile. In addition to
slicing meats such as turkey, chicken, salami,
ham and roasts, it can also be used to cut
fruits like melon and pineapple, vegetables
such as squash, eggplant and zucchini, as
well as medium hard cheeses.
It also glides through loaves of bread for
consistent, even slicing. It can also be used
to slice bagels and sandwich rolls.
HOW TO CARVE
A TURKEY
Carving a large bird, especially in front of
hungry guests, can be a daunting task—the
watering mouths, critical eyes, rumbling stom-
achs. With the Cuisinart ® Electric Knife, a little
guidance and some helpful hints...we hope to
make this task a pleasurable experience.
Tip: Cut dark meat first, as it does not dry out
as quickly as the white meat of the breast.
Preparation:
1. Remove the turkey from the oven.
2. Cover loosely with foil and let stand
15–30 minutes to let the juices set and the
meat firm up. The turkey will be more
moist, easier to carve, and the slices will
hold together better.
3. Remove the stuffing.
4. Place turkey on a carving board, breast
side up, with the legs facing you. You'll
need your Cuisinart ® Electric Knife and a
large carving fork to hold the bird.
