 Do you make beef jerky? November 29, 2008

I make my own beef jerky on a regular basis (priced the store bought variety lately?) and buy specific cuts of beef when on sale. This unit beats cutting the semi-frozen meat by hand by a long shot. It is easy to use and clean. So far it has been very reliable. Good unit, not particularly heavy-duty but a really good value.
Excellent Slicer! November 19, 2008

When I was growing up, we had an old hand cranck meat slicer. Every friday night me and my father and uncle 'and puppy who got scraps' would spend the evening hand slicing meats for sandwiches and suppers for the rest of the week. br / br /Later in life I got really big into grinding, making and smoking my own sausages, meats, and stuff. My father passed down the old family hand crank meat slicer. br / br /Wow, I remember how much work that was o_O br / br /This lead me to purchase a good electric slicer. I used a few that were ok, some I bought and some I borrowed. They were flimsy and what not. br / br /Then I came across this Chef's Choice 610 that my father bought for me as a gift ... br / br /The first thing I noticed was its superiour design and construction. No flimsy sheet metal on this bad boy at all. Everything is nice and solid. A lot of craftsmanship went into the making of this thing. Even the slider table where you slide the meats across is one huge solid thick piece of metal, unlike all the thin single rail systems I used in the past. br / br /Setting it, the slicing size adjuster is behind the back plate, which is a nice solid piece of metal as well. I like the adjustment on the back as to keep it out of the way. This is important when your spending some time slicing up homemade bacon you just cured and smoked. br / br /The pusher is a nice food grade plastic that is very easy to clean. br / br /Speaking of cleaning, I have to say this... This is the only slicer I have ever used in my entire life that is this easy to take about to clean. That is unless you get into the bigger tor-reys or hobarts, but then your talking almost a grand on up price wise. br / br /The front has a big switch, middle for using, push right to lock in place when not in use, and push left to slide off for cleaning. br / br /The adjustment knob on the back, set to 0 'zero' then one more click and the whole backing plate now can be slid off for cleaning. br / br /Instead of finding a screw driver to dismantle the blade, just pop out the center lock and give a turn and the blade is now ready to take off. br / br /Those three easy things and you have entire access for totally cleaning this amazing slicer. br / br /I will say this, I do wish the center locking nut for the blade was built alittle more firm, because I can see where it can break easily. However, you only use it to take the blade off and put back on for cleaning or changing, nothing more, so theres no reason to constantly play with it; plus its still much nicer then the screw driver method. All one needs to do is when using the center blade locking nut is use it slowly and gently, and all will go fine. br / br /But even with that one thing, this awsome slicer still gets a big 5 stars from me. br / br /Some think the motor is to slow. I can say this from experiance with other slicers, unless you get up into the $500 - $1000 range, your not going to find a professional slicer with a turbo motor. However, the motor on this Chef's Choice 610 dosn't lag when slicing big loads such as a whole belly square bacon, unlike the many other slicers I used before which you can hear the motor start to jam up and slow down. The motor on this Chef's Choice 610 is VERY powerful, so don't let it fool you. br / br /I honestly can't live with out this appliance, with what I do with meats. And very thankful to my father for this awsome gift who gets to eat all the results... But for anyone who isn't into making sausages and curing meats, you can save so much money buying bologna, salami, turkey loaf, ham loaf etc in bulk, taking home and slicing yourself. This slices up to 2 inch cuts if I remember correctly, anything thicker, just use an electric knife. And this cuts near paper thin deli quality as well. br / br /Alittle trick that might help those who think this cant cut thin: toss your uncut meat in the freezer for about 10 minutes until slightly firm, NOT frozen. This keeps it firm and more managable to slice then when room temp, loose and flimsy. This way you can much more easily manage nice quality deli thin slices. br / br /Enjoy, I know I am with this puppy! :)

I had done extensive research on this slicer and I am pleased to say it is great. My husband and I used it to slice a 10lb ham, a 12lb and a loaf of cheese. We spent about an hour of non stop slicing and it didn't get hot or overheated once! Also, clean up was very easy. A great money saver and a super product.
Good Slicer, Not too hard to clean October 19, 2008

This is my first slicer and I got it because of the good reviews others gave. br /Tried it with slicing meats and vegetables br / br /Meat: br /Frozen beef, lamb and pork br /I found out the wider the meat the harder to slice it perfectly. After slicing, the thickness of the meat slicing is not even, the end is thinner than the front. It can be sliced thin and evenly but need to pay attention for each slice which is sort of tiresome when trying to slice a 5 pound chunk. br / br /Vegetable: br /Carrot and Turnip(Daikan) br /Always got perfect slice. br / br /The clean is not too hard. br /Easy to take the blade and parts out for cleaning. br /But the lubricant on the blade is too much.
