A meat slicer.

[Creedmoor]

Hopefully this is the right thread.
I need to buy a decent slicer for out here in Indiana, I really dont want to buy another used commercial machine.
What do you all own and are you happy with it, I need to get something to cut semi frozen roast, turkey breast and other meats to smoke jerky.
I've been looking at the 400 dollar machines on Amazon, I just dont know if they are worth a poop.
Thanks

Asking for a friend,

How many times can one do that?

I don’t know once every 30 days lol never tried a rental program…. But returns are pretty easy

This topic peaks my interest

Another thought is to post a WTB add in the INGO classifieds. See what others might have laying around to part with?

I can let you know down the road.

Buddy split the purchase of one with me. 200W with 7.5" blades for about $50 each on some pri,e sale". Figured for that it was worth a shot.

I wanted in for slicing smoked pork belly. Figured it would do well for that.

If it doesn't work out, I'm not out much and can decide if something "higher end" would be justified.

Good luck!

Thanks, I was looking at the 10" 350watt on Amazon $400.00
A friend just gave me a mans number about a commercial Berkel. If I can get it right I will go that way again.
We will see.

I hit commercial restaurant supply / resale shops from time to time when out and about....have never come across a slicer.

Hope it works out...and good luck!

From what I’ve seen, in the butcher factories and maybe normal butcher shops, they literally use a bandsaw. Might be overkill for your needs though.

Would an electric carver work? Or are you wanting it for especially large or frozen pieces?

If I was slicing steaks a band saw would work just fine, We will be using the slicer for making jerky with frozen to semi thawed meats such as tenderloin, roasts, turkey breasts and so on with slices say 1/4" thick and under.
I believe a slicer is also easier to clean.
Thanks.

I just picked up an Automatic Commercial Hobart and stainless table off Market Place from a guy in Strawtown.
I will read about it tonight and give it a service tomorrow and then see how it cuts frozen pork loin.

Test run with the slicer...

Thin sliced smoked venison tenderloin. Made sandwiches with horseradish / brown mustard / cheese. Yum!
