Im going to cure some bacon and I was wondering what type of slicer do you bacon guys use to get uniform slices.
Thanks
I use this (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0067490518648a&navCount=1&podId=0067490&parentId=cat603518&masterpathid=&navAction=jump&cmCat=MainCatcat602009-cat603518&catalogCode=QL&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat603518&hasJS=true) one, aint nothin to brag about but it works.
Thanks for the info.
I use This One (http://www.chefsresource.com/12-slicer-knife-granton-edge-forschner-fibrox-cutlery.html). Seriously. :)
I saw a guy that slices his pastrami with a hand help veggie mandolin.
It did a great job.
This is a great buy, not sure if the sale is still on. I think it is.

If you go to Home Shopping Network on line you can get the Chef's Choice for the same $99 but you get the second non-serated blade included for free. Plus you can do easy pay and pay in 3 installments.
Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions. I'll post pictures when I get the Hillbilly Bacon going. I just ordered the Morton's Tender Quick today. Can't wait to get started.

Ditto.
This (http://kitchen-dining.hsn.com/chefs-choice-premium-electric-food-slicer-with-2-blades_p-3163436_xp.aspx?web_id=3163436&ocm=sekw) is the one I bought. Works great, and that is a good price, and includes the non-serrated blade as well..
The more I use my Chef's Choice the more I hate it. Unless the meat is almost completely frozen it tends to not cut through cleanly and creates a "flap" of meat that is a pain in the butt. Not sure if the non-serrated blade would work better or not, for now I got a slicer knife to try next time instead.
I've found the non-serrated blade works much better than the other one. I've got another slicer up in the attic (Hello, Craigslist..) with a serrated blade, and I had the same problem with it that you are having now.
I that if I am getting a flap of meat when cutting, if I push it through slower it usually solves that problem.
I get the flap. I call it "snack"
My cheapie slicer has a serrated blade and it does that,
but I just flip the meat every 5 to 10 cuts and I don't have the problem.
