Don’t know about that one in particular, but usually you want to look for one with a slow cook or ideally dehydrate function as most will attempt to shut themselves off after a couple of hours otherwise.

Could also use a square nut and negative object in your slicer if in a hurry.

All good, the new platform definitely takes some getting used to.

Looking good! What is that on the bottom of the hand guard on the purple one?
