Meat Slicer ?

[Don Baer]

I am toying with the idea of getting a meat slicer. I think it would be a handy addition to my kitchen gadgets. I buy a lot of deli meats (HAM, Beef, Chicken and turkey slices) and at $10-$12 per pound for deli meats it wouldn't take all that long to pay for itself. Anyone else got one and if so what do you have.

I've been looking for a used manual commercial slicer for years ...Hobart, Berkel, Globe etc.. Hard to find one in decent shape for less than $300. If you make your own bacon a slicer is very nice to have. Check FB Marketplace, Craigslist and others for used machines. I thought Covid would force a lot of restaurant/deli closures and there would be lots of deals around, but I think most were snatched up by restaurant supply places for resale.

yeah Craigslist around here has some but the lowest price I found was 575 and most are running 700-800

We bought a Barton about three years ago and have been very satisfied with it.

Another issue with deli meats is additives.
Non-healthy stuff

With slicing your own, you control the additives.

I've been very happy with my KWS 320W, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014DMSEC6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . It's is very powerful and can even handle frozen meats but I prefer to let the meat thaw. It works perfectly for every job I've thrown at it and especially well for making jerky. I like the built in blade sharpener and it's also very simple to clean up the machine after using it.
