Is there a way to slice meat thinly as luncheon meat at home?

> Why would anyone want to use a slicer? If the meat is from a supermarket they'll do it for you. When we run the smoker, we do about 40 pounds of meat at a time. When the meat is done, we refrigerate it overnight, then slice it all on our slicer and portion it in one pound plastic bags and freeze. (brisket and pork shoulder... bone slides out of the shoulder before refrigeration). Slicing that much meat by hand would be a PITA. Cleaning the machine is also a minor PITA so we only use it when we have large quantities of meat to process. I doubt that the supermarket would do that for me... or that a supermarket would slice ANY meat cooked at anyone's home. They have no way of knowing what sanitary conditions that roast was cooked and stored under. They would not risk contaminating their machine and facility with meat of an unknown sanitary quality.

For a couple three months it makes much more sence to shop cold cuts at the local deli, they slice for free, FATSO ASS!

If they don't like it, maybe they will leave your home sooner. What gets me is the Verizon commercial where the snotty kids don't want to visit gramma because there's nothing to do, and the enabling parents teach their kids to be snotty by telling them they only have to stay for a little while. In the commercial the gramma gets FIOS so the kids can ignore her when they visit. It's good that Verizon promotes family values. |

It worked fine. I have also used the real Hobart slicers for much bigger and frequent jobs. Depends on what you want. I really like the automatic settings on the big boys. One of the links has a lot of bad reviews, the other has mostly pretty good reviews. So, tell your family to buy one that they think they will like before they show up on your doorstep. |

I throw out those bad reviews when the overwhelming majority are positive. If you go by bad reviews you'll never buy anything. Learned that when I was building this computer over 5 years ago. Quality motherboard (ASUS) and power supply (Corsair). I thought I would find 4-5 star reviews. Plenty of reviews on Newegg, but enough whiners to bring every MB and PS down to 3 1/2 stars or less. When I realized that applied to them all, 3 1/2 became my new minimum standard. It's still running with no issues. Maybe dissatisfied customers are more prone to write reviews. With computers many people don't know how to put them together, and with meat slicers many can't operate them correctly. Of course some parts are legitimately DOA - I've had it happen to me - and maybe those motors failed. There's always some element of luck. |

I got up late Wednesday, then went to the grocery store (senior day!), came home and mowed the yard, and after a bath had my nose glued to the TV. Here I am finally. It's a CocinaPro and can't remember if I got it Wal Mart, Bed, Bath, & Beyond or where. The housing is all plastic but it does a GREAT job on meats. Blade removes, of course, for full cleaning and I can adjust for thickness just like the expensive ones do. |

When was the last time Sheldon posted about Crystal Palace vodka? That would be 4/21. Apparently he not only drinks it, he also uses it to clean his counter tops. (See the post titled "Bottoms Up".) Maybe that's what happens when you slop vodka on the counter and in wiping up the spill discovers it's also a great cleaning product. LOL Greg needs to go back to FB or wherever the heck he's been. He's not funny now, never was funny. And since Greg is ***, if he stays around Sheldon will have a fine time talking about his proclivities soon enough. Jill |

Sometimes the good reviews don't work out in the long run. I bought an Antec Sonata case with an Antec power supply. It was very well rated and is in fact an excellent case, very easy to assemble and none of the razor sharp edges that leave you bloody when working with cheap cases. When the power supply failed in a couple of years, a little research showed that particular model had problems and the failure was very typical. Unfortunately the reviews weren't prescient enough to predict failure years down the road. Shit happens. I'd still recommend Antec. The cases are excellent as are their power supplies most of the time. Quantity counts too. 374 reviews averaging out to 4 stars beats 3 five star reviews in my book. That theory doesn't always work when you're looking at new or high end products that aren't mainstream. |

It's pretty simple: he's in lust and inference isn't his strong point, so he takes every opportunity to not read between the lines and state the obvious as an excuse to spew his drunken fat ass comments. He's a pathetic old man who just needs a high five - with a chair to the head. -- sf |

For me - when the ratio of cost (in whole dollars) vs times used reaches 1:1, it becomes worth it. Cleaning is tedious, but not difficult, so that's a non-issue - but I'd add that the type of person who won't use the food processor simply because "it's too hard to clean" shouldn't even consider buying a food slicer. -- sf |

Learned that when > I was building this computer over 5 years ago. As I said, you have to read them. Some can be tossed out. People downgrade reviews for the dumbest things, like it was not the color they expected or the Ford bumper does not fit my Chevy. I also toss the five stars that say "I got it and it worked great for the five minutes I've used it so far" while the negative reviews state they are bad when the problems showed after repeated use. The other consideration is common sense. A sub $100 slicer is not going to perform the same as a $3500 real deli slicer, nor would I expect it too. . |
