Meat Slicers

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Meat Slicers:

Should I splurge and purchase an Automatic?

When considering whether or not to buy an automatic meat slicer versus purchasing a cheaper, manual model one must consider cost factors. Will the price be worth the efficiency, labor savings, or sandwich quality? If so, then yes. Automatic slicers are great for delis and sandwich shops because of the constant use. If you do not plan to use your meat slicer that often then a manual may be the best choice.

Can it cut frozen meat?

It’s not wise to cut fully frozen meats but semi-frozen meats should be fine in most machines. Before you purchase a machine, check what it is capable of before an accident happens to your slicer or just the meat. When cutting semi-frozen meat, use caution to prevent slipping and chipping.

What about cheese?

Meat slicers are capable of slicing cheese and other items though automatic meat slicers are generally more efficient than manual slicers at this task.
