Tips for Cutting Even Slices:
a) Line the baking tin with baking paper
When preparing your slices, use a lightly greased and then lined baking tin. The baking paper will stay in place if you grease the tin before putting the crushed biscuit base inside.
b) Leave your jelly slice overnight before you cut it
This isn't always feasible, but if you can leave your slice overnight before cutting it, you'll notice that the pieces are much easier to cut into. Always wait at least a few hours (minimum) before cutting your base to prevent breaking and crumbling.
c) Choose the correct type of knife
To begin with, ensure that your knives are sharp! It's impossible to neatly cut a slice with a blunt knife, so always ensure your knives are sharp for clean, seamless slices. The sort of slice you're making will determine the sort of knife you use. A large flat edged knife works well on slices that require a very sharp blade. The slice must be firm and free of a hard chocolate topping. A lemon coconut or ANZAC slice are examples of things that would go well with this kind of knife.
