Trim the ends of the vegetable so it sits flat.
Press firmly and evenly through the blades using a pusher or the heel of your hand.
Rinse the slicer immediately after use, as food can get stuck between the blades.
Dry it thoroughly to prevent rust (metal models) or odor buildup (plastic models).
💡 Pro tip: Sprinkle sliced onions with a pinch of salt to soften their sharp flavor and bring out natural sweetness.
♻️ Found One at a Thrift Store? Clean It First
