Reddit mentions: The best electric knives & slicers

First, if you want to be healthy, then you need to feed your body properly. Learn about macros here:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/d0rxv6/muscle_growth/ezebxg9/?context=3
  
  Second, what's your daily eating scheduling like? Ex. just breakfast, lunch, and dinner, or with mid-morning & mid-afternoon snacks, or with dessert, and so on? I'd recommend picking one category & then working on building up a week's worth of recipes for that meal or snack eating period, so that you can add some rotation & variety into your diet. Then move on to the next category, do the same thing, and repeat until finished. That gives you a really solid foundation of recipes with a variety of flavors to choose from on a week to week basis. You can build up to more than just a week's worth of recipes as you find new recipes that you want to keep in your collection!
  
  Slowly adopting a dietary change like this also allows your gut bacteria to catch up at a normal pace; a lot of people just dive right into it & have a rough first few weeks because their GI tract isn't used to all of the fiber & other stuff flowing into it. It's like when you eat bean chili after not eating it for a long time...it can cause havoc on your system, not because it's bad for you, but simply because you don't have the right gut flora built up so that the good bacteria in your system can properly manage your new standard diet.
  
  Third, I would recommend investing in some high-quality tools. Note that you don't have to buy any of these, and if you do want them, you don't have to buy them all at once - totally okay to piecemeal it & save up for them! Here are what I'd consider the "essentials":
  
  
• A high-quality blender, such as a Vitamix or Blendtec, that will last you a really long time & actually puree ingredients, not just blend them into smaller chunks like cheaper blenders do. This is an essential tool for smoothies & soups.
  
• A food processor. A decent one runs about $40 on Amazon.
  
• A really, really good knife. If I only had to choose a single knife for my kitchen, it would be my 9.5" Dalstrong Chef's knife. This is a $130 knife that performs at a $500 level. Really expensive for just a single knife, but also really good. If you're going to do raw vegan, having an amazing, incredible knife makes kitchen work fun vs. a being a chore.
  
• Carbon-steel Y-peelers. These don't last forever, but they're cheap (3-pack for $10) & do an AMAZING job of peeling everything from fruit butternut squash.
  
• A vacuum-sealer setup. Decent vac-sealers go for about $50 on Amazon. You can buy pre-cut bags or rolls that you can to size (use titanium scissors to cut the plastic bags).
  
  If you have the budget available or are willing to save up, here are a few extra tools that are really good:
  
  
• A juicer. There are two good options: masticating & slow auger. Good ones are not cheap, but will last a long time & give you the most juice possible. Champion makes really amazing masticating juicers, and their new model has an auger for greens as well. I have an older unit & really like it for both juicing & for making banana ice cream (throw some nuts & hemp seeds on top & it makes for a great breakfast!). As far as the other design goes, the Tribest slow juicer is one of the best-rated cold-press juicers out there.
  
• Citrus juicer. This is basically a manual reamer mounted to a motor. You simply cut your citrus fruit in half, then press down, which activates the motor. If you do a lot of oranges, lemons, grapefruits, etc., this is worth having.
  
• Salad Shooter Pro. This is kind of like a portable food processor, although it's way more convenient for shredding things. The fine-shred cone is sold separately & is the one that I use all the time.
  
• If you have a large budget available, residential freezer-dryers are available for a few thousand dollars. They can be a bit finicky to operate (a lot of people spring for an oil-free pump), but if you plan on doing this long-term, you may want to start a savings program that runs for a few years to save up for one, as it has multiple benefits: it can store food for really long periods of time, and it helps reduce waste because you can freezer-dry anything that is about to go bad, instead of throwing it away or composting it.

I've been looking into this a lot lately, and here are the notes that I have:

• For the actual filament extrusion, the Filastruder can't be beat. The Filawinder also seems like a pretty worthwhile tool to pair it with.
  
• You can also take a look at the Lyman filament extruder on Thingiverse. Depending on what parts you have laying around, you might be able to build yourself an extruder for cheaper than you can buy the Filastruder kit. I know it's cheaper for me to buy the kit, though.
  
• Even if you only buy the Filastruder and don't shred old prints, you can buy ABS and PLA pellets to extrude into filament at roughly half the cost of pre-extruded filament, which is a pretty big selling point in my mind.
  
• If you go the route of buying a shredder so you can recycle old prints, there's a few options to explore:
  
  • There's a commercial shredder sold by Filamaker. It's pretty spendy and only hand-cranked if I recall correctly, but you could probably find an electric motor to slap on there.
    
  • Filabot also has an "industrial reclaimer", but it's very very expensive, and designed for somebody that's operating a plastic recycling shop or something.
    
  • Precious Plastics has an open source shredder design that might be fairly inexpensive. You'll have to find a metal shop that can produce the parts for you, though, and you'll have to source everything (including a motor) yourself.
    
  • A salad shooter might have enough oomph to granulate smaller failed prints, especially incomplete prints that are pretty flimsy.
    
  • For somewhat larger tasks, you might consider an electric wood chipper/shredder like this, but there will be some legwork in terms of making sure your recycled materials will fit in the hopper. Maybe a band saw would help here?
    
  • Most office shredders can handle credit cards. I wouldn't do this with ABS (mostly because of smell), but maybe you could get a cookie sheet and melt PLA into a really thin sheet, and then just run it through a good office shredder to "granulate" it?
    
    Something else of interest to keep an eye on -- an all in one grinder, extruder, and winder appliance: http://www.redetec.com/
    
    Finally, there's the pipe shredder design, which I've heard works reasonably well: http://hackaday.com/2015/06/14/a-different-kind-of-plastic-shredder-for-3d-filament-making/

This is the slicer I purchased: Chef's Choice 615

I've used it for pastrami, bacon, roast beef and deli meats. I'm happy with it overall, but there are a few things to consider...

It's relatively small for an electric slicer. Certainly smaller than any sort of commercial slicer, but it's been decent for what I've used it for. The only issue I have with the size, is that with something long like bacon, the piece of meat sometimes catches the far end of the blade guard when pushing it through the cut. It's not a huge issue and you quickly learn how to slow the cut and slightly reposition the piece as you push it through, but it's a minor annoyance.

The physical footprint is about the size of two, four-slice toasters side by side. It's smaller than the cutting board I typically use in that spot on my countertop so I've never had an issue with the space.

The cuts are clean, require little effort and the thickness adjustment has been well within the range I typically cut things. For paper thin slices, you might have to play with it a little to get it right, but I haven't had to freeze anything to get that thin.

It can be a pain in the butt to clean, but it disassembles pretty easily and if you have a sink full of soapy water to drop things in as you take it apart, the wash up is pretty painless. I have a Kevlar cut glove that I use when taking the blade off and while holding it to clean. I'd recommend something similar as the blade is pretty sharp. The one area on the slicer that typically needs some work is the hub where the blade fits into the motor. There's a really thin groove that catches a lot of juices and gunk. I've settled on using a stiff bristled toothbrush to get in there and it does a good job.

After cleaning it, I give it a wipe down with a bleach solution and hit a few spots on the carriage with some sewing machine lubricant and some Vaseline. All this is explained in the manual and it's pretty painless.

The only pain in the ass thing to clean is... PASTRAMI! The cracked pepper pieces and starts flying when it hits the blade and goes everywhere. I spend twice as long cleaning that food up as anything else I cut. But, I usually make a big batch of pastrami, slice it all up and cryovac it in portions. It freezes really well and makes for only having to go through the cleaning process once in a while.

I highly recommend this particular slicer or anything similar for cutting meats at home. I've worked in big commercial kitchens and have always had access to Hobart or Bizerba slicers that cost thousands of dollars. This isn't in the same class, but it makes your life so much easier if you're doing any regular slicing at home.

I honestly don't remember. My dad used to work maintenance in a retail store and picked it up for me one day for my meat adventures.

It seems they're on Amazon for a decent price. I'm not sure if that's the exact model I have, but it's the same brand and it looks identical.

It really is worth having. It's the only way to get sandwich meat as thin as I like (pastrami specifically is supposed to be cut very thin) and it's great for slicing for jerky as well. If you have anyone who cooks bread in your house it's great for pre-slicing it evenly.

You likely won't need a professional slicer considering you are just doing it for home use. My mom had a cheap plastic one when I was growing up and it wasn't too bad, but I would definitely consider getting one with a metal housing. Something like this would probably work great, and the price is good. You will either find more and more uses for it, or you will hate cleaning it and use it only when necessary. Sanitizing them is pretty important, but with practice you can get pretty proficient at it.

I know I'm late to the party, but I wouldn't recommend those cheap $100 chefs choice meat slicers. I used it once and returned it right away...I would either recommend the Weston Manual Jerky Slicer if you don't plan on making lots of jerky often & it's not so bad with space, I loved using it...If you need a decent electric meat slicer, checkout this one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SMC1ZU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_17?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A39SXLQYAXHTN0 . I have this machine and it's a workhorse that never let me down. Be sure to also buy a non-serrated blade as well.

As a guy that like cooking and gadgets here are my suggestions:

• A mandolin (1 and 2 - extremely useful kitchen gadget. I recommend a V shaped blade over the straight blade, it just cuts better.)
  
  
• A knife sharpener (I use an electric one, but any multistage sharpener is a great gift.)
  
  
• Flat whisk (This is very useful for making any sauces, glazes and especially gravies.)
  
  
• Microplane grater (I got one of these and I have never gone back to my old box grater. They come in 2 shapes: long and narrow vs wide and short, I prefer the long and narrow. They come in 3 or 4 'coarseness' levels from zester up to extra-coarse. I would recommend zest for a first one.)
  
  
• Mini Ramekins (A set of these in the size range of 3 to 4 inches or 4 to 6 ounces has a variety of uses: creme brulee, warm cookie or brownie desserts, individual souffles. But what I use them most for is holding my measured spices together for when I cook. When I need to dump all my spices onto a heap of cooked meat, I can just dump them on instead of measuring them out one at a time directly onto the meat.)

I like making my own cold cuts, roast beef, corned beef and pastrami (pictures of my pastrami) and beef jerky so a meat slicer is very helpful for that. I also save about $1-2/lb on cheese by slicing it up myself. The Edge Craft Chef's Choice model I have cost about $90 including shipping, it's pretty helpful for the price.

LOL. I live in a relatively inexpensive area of the country. My kitchen is a decent size. Having nice things doesn't a better cook make though. I just really like that I have pretty much every tool that a recipe could call for. I also wanted to buy everything I wanted for the kitchen so that if we have kids and went down to one income, I would already have everything I wanted.

Here's a link to a jelly bag. I guess it's called nut milk bag. It's just a fine mesh bag for straining things. If you ever wanted a salad shooter and you're in the US, they have them all of the time at the thrift stores.

I am very much a "Buy It For Life" person, which is why I have literally thousands of dollars of All-Clad stainless steel and LeCreuset cast iron. I very much expect them to last forever. I try to buy things that I think will last for a very long time. I also go by America's Test Kitchen recommendations ("equipment reviews"), and they've only let me down a few times. Sometimes, the things I buy are the most expensive (e.g. the $400 Breville food processor or my $600 stand mixer), but I love my Corelle dishes that are sold at Walmart.

I found someone selling a barely use slicer like this one on craigslist for $125 - less than halve the value new. It works well, is pretty big and bulky and sturdy and good, but the only thing I'd warn you about is that to really clean it, you need a screw driver to remove the blade, so clean up is a bit of a mess, and I tend to only get it out when I have a bunch of stuff to slice all at once (bacon, cured meats, beef to make jerky ... ).
So I'd recommend you find one where cleaning is a little easier, and probably check craigslist.

I've used a Presto Salad Shooter for years and years; there are two drawbacks (three if you consider having to plug in a small kitchen appliance):

1. The feed tube is about 2" X 3"
   
   
2. The Salad Shooter is really only good at doing one thing: shredding food
   
   Sure, a box shredder is ok for doing an ounce or two at a time, but if you've got a pound of cheese to shred, the Salad Shooter looks pretty nice.

Jerky is kinda time-consuming, but ridiculously easy.

I use a meat slicer and a fairly expensive dehydrator, but a sharp knife and warm oven will do the job, too.
(The oven is a bit of a hassle, though, so I would recommend a reasonably-priced dehydrator. The square-shaped models are more useful than round.)

I used Alton Brown's box fan & furnace filter method for a while, but it just takes sooo long. Even in my hot garage, it could take four or five days of drying, and I simply do not have that kind of patience where jerky is concerned.

That's probably because I linked to the mobile site on accident, I'm on my phone. They have several sub 100 ones to that have more plastic. They also have excellent reviews and one of my mates loves his, but I'm more partial to the heavy duty ones.

This is also the model just below mine that has stellar reviews and is well loved by many

I bought one of these for 200 and it's a monster. I'm pretty sure it's a KWS 10 inch without the brand sticker. I actually e-mailed KWS for a copy of their manual, and it's identical to the one that came with mine. I'm pretty sure it's the same machine as sold by a couple of other big name brands, too

Thanks for that. For some reason the link was all funky with a tiny product image. This is another amazon link to it.

Anyway, it appears that people won't shut up about how great it is so it's great to finally find a home slicer that actually works. Thanks again.

I always use that shredder one to cook cabbage for myself. This cabbage shredder is made from natural wood. It has 4 blades made of stainless steel, which provideds quick and fine chopping cabbage for cooking sauerkraut or salad. As a bonus, the buyer receives good recipes for cooking sauerkraut and dishes of International cuisine. https://www.amazon.com/Cabbage-Shredder-Kitchen-Shredding-Sauerkraut/dp/B072QWDV6L/ref=sr_1_131?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1498544416&sr=1-131&keywords=cabbage+shredder

What about the Presto salad shooter? It gets good reviews on amazon.

Dicing capabilities are only available on the larger food processors or as a stand mixer attachment. I really wish that cuisinart would make a dicing kit for their smaller food processors but they don't.

Kitchenaid makes a "mini" stand mixer but it is still somewhat large. If it would work for you, they also have a food processor attachment that fits it. The food processor attachment has a shreder, slicer, and dicer blade if you get the one with the dicing kit.

We stayed at a hostel in southern Chile a few years ago and the woman that ran the place made fresh bread for breakfast every morning. She used a meat slicer (similar to this http://www.amazon.com/Electric-Adjustable-Compact-Slicer-Fence/dp/B006ZB9GQW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_3) for slicing the bread. I don't think I would buy one for home solely for cutting bread, but it worked great and if you already own one, it would be worth a try maybe

Costco pork belly cut into ~2 pound sections. Cured using Meathead's Maple Bacon recipe for 6 days. Smoked on GMG Jim Bowie for 1 hour at 180 degrees and then at 225 degrees, until internal temp was 150 degrees (about another hour). Let cool until firm enough to slice. Sliced on a Chef's Choice 615 electric slicer (replaced the default serrated blade with a non-serrated blade). This morning, we baked a few slices at 400 degrees on parchment paper-lined cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes until done. Family loved it. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I bought this one back in 2014. Works just fine for what I use it for; mainly bacon and ham. I caught it on sale for ~$70-80. You just need to go slow when slicing, and it helps to have your meat cold. Easy to clean.

To anyone looking for a cheaper alternative, i bought my mom this slicer Works great! My favorite thing to make so far is philly cheesesteaks by thinly slicing sirloin roast. Also, have you tried making potato chips with your slicer yet Jeffrey?

Chef's Choice slicer on Amazon. Not too expensive, but does a great job. My SO bought me one for our anniversary, I love that thing!

I'm in the same boat as you at the moment. While not starting a deli, I am needing to slice hundreds of pounds of belly/bacon. I've been using smaller, home-consumer slicers for the past month. For the sake of example, this one and this one.

Both of these are small, with not-so-powerful motors, serrated blades, and small holding capacity. This last point is a critical one.

Here's my breakdown of why you should buy a decent (perhaps used?) commercial-grade slicer and cry once, instead of buying a cheaper, consumer version and cry many times:

Capacity: I assume you'll be working with whole casings/larger cuts of meat. Commercial slicers have larger trays that will hold the meat-to-be-sliced much more easily. The home based versions, if they have a tray/pusher at all are much smaller and a heavy piece of meat will require you to hold it in place, thus making use of one of your hands, which could be doing other things.

Blade size/style: Commercial blades will be larger, sharper, and likely not serrated. Further, the motor will be more powerful. These two translate into slicing speed. Consumer versions (that I have used) are less powerful with less sharp blades which translates into slower slicing. Before I started freezing the bellies prior to slicing the slicers would even bind and just stop.

Quality: Commercial slicers are able to slice much more thinly (think shaved) and usually have better mechanisms for selecting and holding the thickness you choose. One of my slicers can go very thin, but it takes forever and is inconsistent; the other can't go very thin at all. Further, if the slicer can't handle thin slicing, it's still going to do something to the meat. In my case, it shreds the bellies, will only slice half the belly, leave chunks of meat on the end, etc... All of this translates into loss and $.

Safety: Take all of the above, combine them into one experience and your safety concerns increase. I've not yet sliced myself, but have come very close.

Hope this is helpful.

$40 = Professional SaladShooter

These won't take a lot of abuse, but a well cared for SaladShooter is the best damn tool for shredding potatoes or cheese.

Yes I have a beautiful slicer at the house to get just the right thickness. It’s a game changer!

Found this on Amazon for $123 and has decent enough reviews.


Edit: This also seems pretty good for home use and is $100.

If you are able to find one, the krups metal body actually works very well for a smaller machine, obviously not as well as ones I've used in commercial kitchens, but I use it pretty frequently at home and I'm not mad at it.

Have you thought about a deli slicer? You can get a home use grade one to test it out.

This has good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Chefs-Choice-Premium-Electric-Slicer/dp/B0058VCYWS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1407790745&sr=8-2&keywords=deli+slicer

My friend has the same one. We use it for hot pots. It gets raw meat very very thin. Haven't tried cook meats yet.

I picked up this Chef's Choice, on sale IIRC, but am really happy with it. I've done down to 1mm for jerky (too thin tbh) but haven't tried charcuterie yet, as I'm still learning.

A stand electric slicer will save you time and money. It is an up front cost but you will save it back and more over time.

I looked it up, I actually paid $100, but it is still not a professional model by any means. Had pretty decent ratings on Amazon and at a price point I could afford.

http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000PRP288

I noticed after you smoked it some of it was already getting a bit charred from the sugar. One thing you may want to try is rinsing it off before smoking it. This may remove a lot of the "flavor" with the salt, sugar, etc but it will make the belly nice and clean. If you want to rub some sugar on it maybe try dropping the temperature? I've only used sugar in my cure and let smoke do all the work.

For slicing, I picked up this slicer and the non-serrated blade. It really makes cutting the bacon quick. It's a bit of a pain to clean with all the curves and cut-outs but I can slice up 5lbs of bacon in 10 minutes.

In the time I've been making bacon the one thing I realized is that its "burn" point is far higher than that of store bought. So I usually have to dial it down just a smidge on the stove to prevent burning. I haven't made any in the oven yet so I can't offer a difference there.

I used to have consumer grade meat slicer, basically this one here and it sucked balls. If you're going to do it, get a good meat slicer. Most places like GFS and Costco will slice it for you for free though.

I picked up a decent, generic one from Amazon and its been working great for me for slicing home cured bacon. I have not tried doing paper thin slices on it though.

https://www.amazon.com/BESWOOD-Chromium-plated-Electric-Commercial-BESWOOD250/dp/B01AQH636Q/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=meat+slicer&qid=1566405509&s=gateway&sr=8-6

It's works well for the price of $67 - I think it was the cheapest on Amazon - its this one here Cuisinart FS-75 Kitchen Pro Food Slicer, Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IW22Z6E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wfZJybJPES6HG

I can see down the road getting a nicer one. One that the meat carrier slides nicer, blade spins a little faster/more teeth on the blade? Again though it worked surprisingly well. The biggest drawback was that the slider bed AND push block on the left there is one piece. So longer pieces (like bacon) you can't slice at once laying horizontal. It was too short by maybe 3 inches so what I did was raise the front up where the cut was starting so it really started cutting up the blade then lowered till it was flat THEN moved across.

Got the one in the link below back in 2016, it doesn’t look to be available anymore but maybe they have a new model. I only use it maybe half a dozen times a year but it was certainly worth the price.

If you're a bit more into it, you can buy big blocks and shred it with something like this http://www.amazon.com/Presto-02970-Professional-SaladShooter-Electric/dp/B0000Z6JJG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344312277&sr=8-1&keywords=salad+shooter and it has a much better taste IMO. Far less preservatives as well.

Chef's Choice

It is amazing so far, I am very happy with it. Now I just need to see how long it holds up but so far so good!

we have one of these... -- works like a champ and cuts fine once you learn how to use it. had to adjust the pitch of the fence a hair to make it cut straight.

This seems like a solid choice without breaking the bank. If its approved by Asians making hot pot foods, its gotta be pretty legit. Thst shit is taken seriously.

You can too

It looks like it's not available on Amazon anymore though unfortunately.

Mandoline, you can get several types. I highly recommend getting cut resistant gloves too. Mandoline is the scariest thing I have in my kitchen even though I use it a lot. You could also try a salad shooter.

I'm sure you've looked into getting your own, they're not that expensive. https://www.amazon.com/ChefsChoice-609-Electric-Food-Slicer/dp/B000PRP288

Most delis have just one slicer for cooked meats, right? A butcher would be more likely to have a raw meat slicer, especially in Asian section of town where raw sliced beef is used for hot pot or Mongolian grill.

Me, I just bought a home 7" slicer, $100 and a bit slow but works fine.

I use it exactly as you describe. It works well.

I bought this one along with the non serrated blade a couple years back and it works well for me. Cost me about $100 for both.

Its what our bacon looks like too, before it gets sliced :0

BUY PORK BELLYS FROM BUTCHER ($1.80-$2.50 a pound as opposed to $5+ at grocery store),

BUY THIS http://www.amazon.com/Masterbuilt-20051311-2-Door-Propane-Smoker/dp/B004W4NDPY/ -

NOW PUT THEM TOGETHER, THEN SLICE THEM WITH KNIFE (OR GET THIS http://www.amazon.com/CE-North-America-Professional-PS77711/dp/B00196VYY0/ )

NOW PROFIT, AND NEVER HAVE TO EAT SHITTY STORE BACON AGAIN!

Good stuff. Not the only reason, but one of the reasons I invested in one of these

The blade is the easy part even if you take it off. If you have this pos like I do, bits and grease get everywhere and you have to carefully wipe and dig crap out of grooves and edges and such.

I bought a small IKEA style bookcase to put on top of my fridge. It currently holds my [slicer](Chef's Choice 609 Premium Electric Food Slicer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PRP288/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_6BSyyb2PDWAPV), my Kitchenaid mixer, my 9 cup food processor, my blender, and my Foreman grill.

I use this:

The reason I chose this is because I could then use it for cheese, ham, turkey, etc. I love mine. But I just recently bought the non-serrated blade for it -- not sure what took me so long, but definitely no regrets there.

I'm getting one of these

Deli Slicer or a really sharp knife.

Chefs Choice 609
Not too fancy but it gets the job done.

>slicer

Here you go, bro.

Can't attest to the quality of the different brands but they start at $50 and move up from there. Amazon has a re-furbished one for $35.

Correct Salad Gun

SaladShooter Slicer/Shredder Because it says in her description "Food is my life".

Ummm... Salad Shooter

Boom.

No idea how well it works, though.

This is the slicer I have. It's not big enough to do a whole belly so I cut it into quarters and slice it that way. I also bought a non-serrated blade because I wasn't sure what the serrated blade would do to the bacon.

Seems sold out :(

I've been looking for a meat slicer myself. I'm looking for something that can cut a semi-frozen steak into deli thin slices for cheese steak sandwiches. Using a knife just doesn't do justice. I've been looking at this one on Amazon

It seems a lot of people are content with it. It's a bit on the pricey side for a home slicer. They have slicer that cost less than 50 on amazon and apparently it's a piece of shit.

they have 3 models. 615, 610 and 609.


Both 609 and 615 come with stainless steel blade, while 610 comes with stainless steel serrated blade. I've been told serrated blades aren't as good at slicing deli thin. I'm not sure. But they do sell the blades separately. The main difference seems to be the size. It's too bad they don't give the power output of the motor.

I got mine off of amazon. It’s nowhere near the quality of a professional grade deli slicer but it does the trick.

This is the model I got.. I don’t buy nice clothes, get my hair and nails done, or go on fancy vacations but I will spend all my money on kitchen gadgets. That is a fact! To be honest, this is kinda cheap in comparison to what I’ve spent on other things. 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

I’m a consumer whore!!
