Home Deli Slicers
Home deli slicers are small versions of the
professional electric slicers that are used
by grocery stores and delis to produce thin
slices of meat and cheese for sandwiches.
They operate with a carriage that guides
the meat or cheese toward a rotating seven
inch blade. The sliced meat or cheese then
falls into a tray which is usually part of
the slicing unit.
If you are thinking of buying
a home deli
slicer, consider the following:
- Look for models that can produce paper thin
slices, even when cutting through sticky
cheeses or tough pieces of cooked meat. Most
units have control knobs that allow you to
set the thickness of the slices. Sturdy,
sharp blades and smooth gliding mechanisms
are essential.
- Safety features are important when purchasing
these deli slicers. You want to keep your
fingers away from the spinning blade. Models
with suction cups to hold the slicer firmly
on the counter are desirable, as are safety
switches that stop the blade from spinning.
The ease with which a kitchen appliance can
be cleaned often determines how often it
is used. To get the most from your slicer,
look for models with detachable parts that
can be cleaned easily. |
