Puzzleboy Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Shouldn't you buy an expensive one, made in Canada by your union brothers? To do otherwise, would be hypocritical..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyB Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Don't go cheap, you'll regret the cheapo after ya throw it through a window in about ...Ohhhh ...10 seconds. Follow Stevie's suggestion, nella is great. My hand me down works great after 30 years, we're talking a lot of salami and prosciutto cuts. Steve knows the finer workings of Nella first hand as his wife slowly sliced away at his manhood over the years....lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyB Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Salami yes, prosciutto no. Get it from a paisono. None of Stevie's Salami was used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been thinking of buying one myself. I'd like to try making Montreal Smoked meat and it would be nice to have a slicer. Last winter I went out and bought myself a good carving knife. I always had one of those $400 but on sale for $99 at Canadian Tire type knife sets. The girl at the local restaurant supply store recommended an $85 knife she was using. Said it was a good value. It really impressed me. I always buy old summer sausage at the market and it was tough to cut but this knife makes easy work of it.

Would be nice to be on ball bearings but it does slide freely cut up some raw beef and it sliced even 1/4 inch size I was trying to make some jerky - didn't work out so well I put in too much soya I will slice better if you freeze the beef for 20 minutes prior to slicing cheese is the next test couldn't justify paying 3 times the price for the slicer posted above, although it would be a nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 today sliced some potatoes for fries. went through huge Russet potatoes like butter. Maybe even better than one of those fry makers. sliced some bell peppers and onion rings too Although I am good with a knife, this is just too easy lol. Cleans up fairly easily peameal bacon tomorrow maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trailmaker Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 sliced up a slab of peameal into thin slices - worked very and fast - evenly sliced pieces about 1/8 inch vacuum sealed into usable amounts made a 1 inch thick sammy with mustard Sliced up apple wafer thin for apple chips so far very happy with this purchase 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
