Here's my 2¢. I don't ever read about you using prosciutto for
anything at home, so figure the cost of the wine cooler into the cost
of making prosciutto at home. You're not a wine drinker either. If
you are, you don't drink the kind of wine that needs to be stored in a
wine cooler, so the cost of the unit will be entirely in the
"prosciutto" column. I think it's going to take a lot of ham to break
even. After that, it's worth the cost. Do you know how thinly it's
sliced? That's another cost, because I can guarantee yours won't
slice that thinly. Now you need to make even more hams to break even.
Conclusion: I think you should just buy what you need at the store.
