Meat gets in that screw-hole and I am wondering why it isn’t just smooth with screws coming in from the back side. My one complaint is the surface where the meat slides on had 2 screws that hold down that panel and it is directly where the meat slides over it. hot soapy water and a dish brush should clean everything. Keep one (strong) finger in the middle the whole time and you’ll probably not her cut. Be very careful while handling the blade. If you are new to meat slicers it may be a challenge. It IS a meat slicer so clean up is what it is. We probably have used this a dozen times now and it works great on like setting 2.5-3. we partially/fully freeze the London broils and slice them up. Overall this slicer is an amazing value, I’m very pleased with it.

Cleaning takes a bit longer because it doesn’t break down very far, also not a big deal. I have to cut slabs into sizes that work for the slicer but that’s not a big deal.ģ. I with the stroke length was a little longer. (I constantly had to re-adjust on my cheaper slicer.Ģ. Once the thickness is set you’ll never have to worry about it changing due to pressure or time it stays put. I keep a rag around for adjustments, works fine. the knob that adjusts thickness is a bit difficult to turn if your hands are already greasy. Here are a few things you should be aware of:ġ. Again, cut perfectly, reduced my processing time by half.

My first project was cutting 35lbs of pastrami. It cuts through anything, frozen or room temp. If you’ve ever owned a slicer in the $75-$150 range this one will blow you away. I wanted to get as close to a commercial slicer as possible without spending thousands on a Hobart. I bought this slicer to replace a $125 slicer after the plastic gears wore out. That’s about the only thing I could say could be really improved. I do wish that the legs were a little less “slippery” but it certainly was not terrible. It took no more time to clean this than it does my KitchenAid mixer, and it’s a heck of a lot easier than cleaning a food processor. Fat and meat particles are going to get in crevices, but honestly, it took about 2 minutes tops for me to disassemble, about 10 minutes to thoroughly wash everything, and another couple minutes to put it back together. Does it take 15 minutes? Sure – from start to finish. It took virtually no effort and no confusion in pulling it apart, and really cleaning it spotless. I varied the thickness and had zero issues whatsoever.Ĭleaning? Well, I don’t know how it could be any easier to disassemble. If somebody was confused and needs more instructions, not sure they should be playing with sharp objects! I cut my own cured and smoked bacon, and it worked perfectly, resulting in super nice, clean, strips of bacon.

I really had none.įirst of all, it’s almost completely assembled when it arrives. Having read other reviews, I was expecting a lot more minor difficulties.
