Domestic Food/Meat Slicers - any good?

poppyjoe

Oooooh I am so tempted, I have a little sneaky £20 note just sitting there left over from last month, so would only really cost the £5.49. And surely I would make my money back with thinner slices or bread and meat!? Will I ......... won't I?

Ooooops, it would seem I have reserved one! Also the last in store!

Thanks OP!

Oh, I wish I hadn't read this. I have just reserved one for pick up.

I have this slicer and can highly recommend it. It saves me a fortune in slicing meat. I buy joints of meat, cook, cool, slice and freeze for sandwiches. Better quality meat for much less than pre-packed or deli prices. It's also great for making salami go further and for slicing homemade bread.

I'll add this thread to the first link later.

Picked up my slicer today. I am going to use it later on a gammon joint.

Just popped in to say, the slicer was a great success. It sliced the whole gammon really well.

I got that exact one earlier this month with some money I had from Christmas. I'd been thinking about one for ages but couldnt justify the money...................what a rediculous thing to think!! I love it and it would have paid for itself in next to no time. I am so glad I got it now. Its been used for a joint of beef, donner kebab meat and various kinds of bread/fruit loaves. Infact today I'm currently cooking more donner meat and was thinking about doing a banana loaf as I have some rather sad looking bananas to use up and it will be used for both i think
As for cleaning it there ARE a few nooks and crannies that need extra care but I keep an old toothbrush for just those kind of bits and it takes no more than about mins to clean and put away ready for next time

I've been looking for a cheap food slicer for a couple of weeks and spotted this one today at Tesco Direct here
It's only a fiver off, and I can't say if it's any good or not, though reviews are reasonable.
You can get free delivery to some stores and I used Topcashback too.

It looks surprisingly similar to the 'Cookworks' slicer sold by Argos. I have one of those and it is OK for the price. I only use mine to slice my home made bread, but I think it might struggle if it had to do any more laborious work than that!

Hi Jazzy_B,

As your thread has dropped down the board I've added it to the main thread on food slicers so that others can find all the recommendations together. I have a cookworks one which is great but it's a pain to wash up afterwards.
