Title: Which meat slicer
Post by: Wilbur on September 12, 2011, 08:57:48 PM
Any advice on a meat slicer?
Right now I'm using a very old Braun slicer for cutting roast into thin pieces for making beef jerky. What do you guys use?

I asked the same question before.....ended up with a Chefs Choice 610. (Bought from HSN for $99 and with extra blade, and free shipping)  Couldn't be more happy with it.  A little slower than my old slicer, but thats not a big deal.

I've got the same Chef's Choice 610 slicer. (also bought it from HSN as well, so it came with the solid 'ham' blade)

Very happy with it.

I have the Chef's Choice 632 (bought it from Costco online for $300.  Came with Bonus Blade Sharpener and Bonus Non-serrated Blade).  Works great.

Ditto with stc on the 610 and you can get a plain edge blade for it to.

ditto on 610 bought ham blade also. Haven't found a reason to use it yet. Nice slicer,easy to clean,easy to store,works nice for what I do, and has a really good price. Only thing I would change for if a Hobart or commercial comes my way. But NO complaints yet!

Thanks for the info, you can pick up the 610 on Ebay for $75.
Which blade is best for semi frozen eye of round roast?

Me, i have the 667 model, i like to be over the top  ;D

BTW Wilbur, i would go with the non-serrate blade for slicing meat, but it is my opinion only.
