After using a meat slicer, you should:

  1. Only rinse it with water

  2. Wipe it with a dry cloth

  3. Leave it for the next user to clean

  4. Wash it with soapy water, rinse, and sanitize

The correct answer is: Wash it with soapy water, rinse, and sanitize

After using a meat slicer, it is important to thoroughly clean and sanitize it to prevent foodborne illness. Rinsing it with only water (option A) is not enough to remove all bacteria and germs. Wiping it with a dry cloth (option B) may remove some debris, but it will not effectively sanitize the slicer. Leaving it for the next user to clean (option C) is not responsible and could lead to cross-contamination. Therefore, the best option is to wash it with soapy water, rinse, and sanitize (option D) to ensure a clean and safe meat slicer for the next use.
