How to Turn a $7.99 Roast into a Week's Worth of Tender Steaks

I wanted to try it since I normally use a knife, and didn't want to spend too much. I might upgrade to a professional slicer later.

@T F Monkey: This is a sensible idea.... Aldi had wood cutting routers, for like $15 - and they were SO badly made... BUT at $15 - I wanted to see IF I really had much use for one, and to get the hang of it... instead of buying a REALLY good one for $400... There are CHEAP pressed ball bearings, made for things like walking frames for old people... low speed, low load, low mileage and CHEAP..... and then there are properly forged, heat treated and precision ground balls - and races - they are not that much more really because they are also made in astronomical volumes, but the scumbag chinese slipped in the lowest specification bearings, into a machine tool that runs at 25,000 RPM - they lasted 20 minutes instead of 20 years... The idiots crammed 20" of free spring into a slide that would have just held 16" - and the spring buckled and jammed, so the vertical depth adjustment was grabbing and jamming... and most of the knobs were soft plastic knobs, extruded around plain bolt heads.. the important ones kind of pulled loose.. So as a LEARNING experience, it was very educational to FIX the damned thing - new bearings - the lot. I learned far more about cheap tools, chinese made fuck ups and dumping crap onto other peoples markets, and I learned how to service, repair and maintain the router. As an education - by making myself fix it, I learned a great deal - including - It's worth it for an education... totally. But it's not worth it to buy up say 100 of them, and upgrade and resell them... AND if the router jammed, the copper in the armature windings was SO thin, that the wire from the brush contacts to the solid mass of copper wire in the armature winding - popped in an arc... So now I know why makes a SHIT chinese tool.... and what makes an excellent quality say, German tool....

@T F Monkey: AND yes Aldi in Australia is managed by fat retarded bitches from the HR dept, who are so stupid... I told them to get competent people to evaluate the products, instead of just buying up shit because it is cheap - and the women - who I have had huge phone fights with, and being the fucking retards they are... they never did.... So they earned their reputation as retailers of totally shit tools - people stopped buying them completely..... so they then bought out their own rebranded stuff, that came with a 3 year warranty.... But the damage was done.... Now they only sell crap weekly specials like left and right handed salt and pepper shaker sets... as well as the groceries... LOL Fuck Aldi and their Fat HR Dept retards...
