Using it for shawarma
Slice across the grain in long, smooth strokes, as thin as you can manage. For raw meat, firm it up in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes first. For cooked meat, rest it for 5 minutes, slice, then chop and crisp in a hot pan.
Alternatives
Any sharp chef's or slicing knife works. Electric carving knives are mainly useful if you cook on a vertical spit often.
