Meat Slicer

[bowhunter1023]

I'm almost done acquiring processing equipment and the last thing on my list is a slicer. It'll be nice for jerky, but I've also been doing goose pastrami and would like it for that as well. I know a few guys have them, so I'm curious to see what's out there and what recommendations you'd make.

Watch Craigslist and auctions. The difference between the chefs choice and other non commercial brands and an actual commercial one is night and day.

I have a small 10" Berkel that blows away any other I've used. Hobart, Berkel, etc are all ones that'll last.

I traded a Hobart and bought my berkel from this guy near the cbus zoo

I used mine for jerky, bacon, pastrami, slicing up hams and other lunchmeat or for cooked hams, made roast beef sliders out of eye of round, cucumbers for pickles, etc

I bought an old commercial one at an auction. I think it is a globe if I recall. Old as the hills but still works great. I had a couple of the cheap slicers prior to that and they burned up pretty quick.

I have the cheapest, lowest of the line sold at Cabelas. Got it begrudgingly as a gift. It works for jerky. I probably wouldn't use it for much else.

I got a 40 year old Hobart from an Giant Eagle auction. Commercial series. It should out live me.

Something like this..buy once/cry once. You usually get what you pay for.
