preparation
1 Clear a space on your worktop or table so that the knife can’t hit anything and the
cable can’t catch on anything while you’re using it.
2 Put the cutting board on the worktop and have the carving fork within easy reach.
3 Remove all packaging from the food. Don’t use the knife to cut the packaging, you
may damage the blades.
4 Position the food on the cutting board.
