a deli slicer is used to cut cylindrical blocks of cheese for sandwiches. suppose a customer wants slices of cheese that are round and slices that are rectangular. explain how the cheese can be placed on the slicer to get each shape.
Since these are cylindrical blocks of cheese, then the round slices can be cut across the cylinder.
By cutting off the excess and squaring the cylinder, the customer can get rectangular slices.
1–4 what can be sliced using the slicer
To get round slices of cheese using a deli slicer, you need to place the cylindrical block of cheese horizontally on the slicer. Make sure the cheese block is centered on the slicer's platform with its longest side facing outward. Then, adjust the slicer's settings to the desired thickness, typically measured in millimeters. Turn on the slicer and carefully slide the cheese block back and forth on the slicer's platform, allowing the blade to cut through the cheese. The result will be round slices of cheese.
To get rectangular slices of cheese, you need to adjust the position of the cheese block on the slicer. Instead of placing it horizontally, place the cheese block vertically on the slicer's platform with its shortest side facing outward. Center the cheese block properly and adjust the slicer's settings for desired thickness. Activate the slicer and slide the cheese block back and forth, similar to the process for round slices. This time, the blade will cut through the cheese to create rectangular slices.
It's important to note that while the shape of the cheese slices can be manipulated by changing the orientation of the cheese block, the slicer blade itself cuts straight across. The shape of the blade will always produce slices with straight edges, irrespective of the desired shape.
