You should buy a meat slicer

Here's a quick video on why you should buy a meat slicer, the must-have kitchen tool!

Did I convince you? Let me know. And shoot me a message if you ever want to eat hot pot in San Francisco! Ask me about the infinite broth.

Some other notes:

  • Mentioned in the video: Little City Market is an excellent butcher shop.
  • I use this meat slicer from Befen.
  • Below a certain length (around 1 cm or shorter), the meat slicer is not very effective, so I do end up with stubby butts of whatever I'm slicing.

This post is part of April Cools!

The idea is pretty simple: on April Fools' Day (also known as “April 1st”), a participant produces genuine content that's very different from their normal produced content. It could be a different format, a different topic, a different style, anything. The constraints are:

  1. It is something they normally wouldn't do.
  2. It is totally genuine: no irony to it.
  3. It is up to their usual standards of quality.

Normally I write at Digital Seams on APIs, UX, and platforms, or right here on my personal blog on just about anything. Writing is something I normally do. So in the spirit of April Cool's, I tried a new format to talk about one of my favorite topics, the meat slicer.

Making videos is very hard - I have a lot of respect for people who do it well! In the meantime, I think I'm going to stick to writing.
