I dunno about that. I've got a slicer exactly like the one Ophelia posted
of hers. It all comes apart and is easily cleaned in a sink of hot, soapy
water. The actual body part that houses the motor get a thorough rubdown
with a well rung out soapy dish cloth.

The flour used to make bread contains high quantities of starch
molecules, which, in their natural state, form a crystalline (i.e.
highly organized) structure. Adding water to the flour undoes this
structure, allowing the starch molecules to take on a more
disorganized, gel-like arrangement that gives bread a soft, fluffy
texture when it comes out of the oven.

As bread starts to cool, however, water leaves the starch and moves
into other parts of the mixture, allowing starch molecules to return
to their crystallized state. It’s this recrystallization – not drying
– that makes bread go hard, and it happens even in humid conditions
Recrystallization happens more quickly at cooler temperatures (unless
it’s below freezing), so bread will go stale much faster when
refrigerated.

Unless you are bringing home a whole, live chicken and butchering it
yourself, you have no idea what disease existed in the animal or gut
parts of the chicken. Just because you can't see a tumor doesn't mean
that the live cells of the tumor aren't already circulating in the
body of the animal. In fact, there was an article just yesterday
about 6 or so people getting cancer from tissue transplants from the
same donor.
Bird flu and swine flu can be transmitted to other creatures before
there is any evidence that the animal is sick. You know yourself that
smokers can transmit tobacco mosaic virus to tomato plants simply by
handling the plants.
In other words, you can continue to continue to believe whatever you
wish.

I doubt that, because you don't have the freshness. Other than that,

I was buying single-heel half loaves from a baker in the 80s. And they
were far from a new thing then.

No handle; but doesn't really need one. There are plenty of places to grab

legs. (Sheldon, calm down, it's a metal machine)

certain rye breads have always been packaged and sold as a half loaf
with only one heel.

I've seen small loaves in the shops with 2 heals. I can't be too sure but I
don't think they do halves.

My old Rival workhorse can be thoroughly cleaned in under 7 minutes, perhaps
not by a drunken NY pervert; but, even the "one-armed man" from the old TV
show, The Fugitive, could do it in under 8. But we don't have cat fur to
contend with in our goods to be sliced; that might complicate things.

Some markets in Italy would sell you as much or little as you want from
a large loaf. You can also buy two eggs at a time.

Can you slice tumors with it? I want to add them to my ground meat.

If Popeye owned a meat slicer (even a crappy one), he would be extolling
it's virtues, and proclaim it to be second only to basements and RO
water filters.

That would be third then.

Sounds like it could be an eminently sustainable source of meat. Fast growing tumors could be harvested without killing the meat source. It's win-win!

We'll need a meat vacuum tumbler, too. The perfect accompaniment to
a professional meat slicer when making deli meats. This one should
be about the same price as the meat slicer.

You could thoroughly pickle 20 whole pork butt in about 25 minutes
with that thing. While I'll be turning briskets and navels into
corned beef and pastrami.

It is electric; though there is a nearly identical model that is manual.
The automated slicing comment was in reference to Sqwertz original post that
he wanted a slicer that you put food on the tray, turned it on and it
automatically moved the tray back and forth to do continuous slicing without
hands-on.

==

Yes, thanks) Yes, I knew about the automatic one and I was showing my
(non automatic) one)

I am happy enough with mine. It is easy to take apart and wash, as someone
else mentioned

It is getting a lot of use atm. I got fed up with buying packs of pre
sliced pre cooked meat for sandwiches. I worked out the price and it was
horrendous. I bought several joints of meat, roasted them and sliced them
and froze them in packets. It is just as easy to take out a packet for
sandwiches as go shopping to buy a packet

Did I say, my husband loves cooked meats for sandwiches)

Actually when I had a good read on the back of those packets ... at least
mine is the pure meat without all the rubbish they put in with them.

Sheldon's comment is what I was replying to. I have no idea who the
intervening post was from, it appears to have no name associated with it.

Ok I didn't see one either and I was wondering who had a slicer like
mine)
