Ways to Use a Meat Slicer

Freshly slicing deli meats is just one of the many things you can do with meat slicers. The sliding design of these appliances cuts meat to your desired thickness slice after slice. You can use one to prep pork for making bacon and fish for smoking.

A deli slicer is also a great solution for cutting steaks when butchering at home. Some models are even suitable for slicing up cheese, fruits and vegetables, simplifying your food prep so you can get breakfast, lunch or dinner underway in record time.

Comparing and Choosing Meat Slicers

When selecting a meat slicer to purchase, consider the following:

• Mechanism: Manual deli meat slicers are economically priced, while automatic machines slide back and forth on their own to simplify the slicing process.
• Blade size: The blade diameter size determines how much meat you can slice at one time. The smallest models feature blades that are 7 to 8 inches in size, while the largest ones are over 10 inches. A 9-inch meat slicer falls in between, making it a good choice for many home cooks.
• Rotation speed: Usually measured in revolutions per minute (RPMs), the rotation speed impacts performance. Slower speeds provide more control, while faster meat slicers produce cleaner cuts. Some meat slicer models have multiple speeds for greater flexibility.
• Thickness settings: Most meat slicers allow you to set the thickness you desire before cutting, but the maximum and minimum thicknesses vary. Be sure that the model you choose has a setting that aligns with your needs.
• Safety features: Some deli meat slicers have integrated safety features to reduce the risk of injuries. Look for locking mechanisms that prevent the slider from moving when the appliance is not in use, and shutoff features that automatically activate if something gets caught in the cutting area.

How Often Should a Meat Slicer Be Cleaned?

For home use, clean your meat slicer after every use, as you likely won’t be using it soon after. This helps prevent bacteria buildup and ensures safer food. If your meat slicer is in constant use –if you’re building many sandwiches, or you’re using your meat slicer for your small business-- you should clean and sanitize it every four hours.

Can You Freeze Sliced Deli Meat?

Deli meats can be frozen. Look for freezer-safe food storage bags to ensure that your efforts on the meat slicer can be enjoyed long after you’ve cleaned and put away your meat slicer.
