I feel you — this drives me nuts too! Perfecting that meat slicing technique is crucial, especially during peak hours when every second counts. I’ve started using a deli slicer instead of a knife, and it’s made a world of difference in speed and consistency. It might cost a bit upfront, but it’s worth it if you’re cranking out sandwiches all day.
When I had to slice meats for a busy lunch shift, I found using a meat slicer instead of a knife really improved my speed and consistency. It saves so much time, especially when you’re trying to keep up with orders. Just make sure to keep it sharp — blades dulling can really mess with your efficiency.
Slicing meat can be such a pain in a busy kitchen! I’ve found that a good quality serrated knife works wonders, especially for brisket — it really helps make clean cuts without shredding. But hey, if you’re frequently serving large groups, investing in a solid meat slicer might save you a ton of time in the long run.
