Ever opened your fridge in search of that chunk of meat or
steak only to find out that it's not going to be enough to
feed a family of 6? Don't run out to the grocer yet.
There's a solution: slice the meat thin.
There are many advantages to having meat sliced thin. When
you slice meat extra thin, more people can be served with a
smaller cut. For example, if you slice one pound of smoked
turkey half as thin as you normally would slice it, you make
twice the amount of sandwiches. In general, people will use
two or three slices of deli meat for a sandwich, no matter
how thin the slices.
Meat sliced thin is also a simple way to cut costs for a
large party. And if you're creating a meat tray or sandwich
tray, thinner meat slices gives it a better presentation.
It looks crisper, fresher and all almost less sloppy if the
meat used for trays is sliced thin.
Yet another advantage of slicing meat thin is shorter cooking
time. Slice a side of beef half as thin as usual, arrange the
meat slices on the pan and the meat's cooking time will be cut
in half. For the busy mom, thin meat slices means quicker meal
preparation. If you are in a hurry, you can be certain that your
meat will still cook thoroughly, but at a shorter time.

In a deli situation, the butcher will usually be able to slice
your meat at no additional cost to you. However, if you have
meat at home that you are slicing thin, be sure to take extra
caution. A very sharp knife and a many-pronged dividing tool
should be used to slice your meat. If you are slicing raw meat,
be sure to scrub the cutting surface and cutting tools with an
antibacterial soap. Also, properly dispose of the cleaning
materials used.
