Chef's Choice 610 Premium Electric Food Slicer Reviews
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. A lot of craftsmanship went into the making of this thing. 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. Some think the motor is to slow. Speaking of cleaning, I have to say this. The first thing I noticed was its superiour design and construction. 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. Enjoy, I know I am with this puppy.
:) 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. My father passed down the old family hand crank meat slicer. 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.
The pusher is a nice food grade plastic that is very easy to clean. No flimsy sheet metal on this bad boy at all. 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 slices up to 2 inch cuts if I remember correctly, anything thicker, just use an electric knife. 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.
This is important when your spending some time slicing up homemade bacon you just cured and smoked. They were flimsy and what not. And this cuts near paper thin deli quality as well. 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.
This is the only slicer I have ever used in my entire life that is this easy to take about to clean. 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. 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.
When I was growing up, we had an old hand cranck meat slicer. I honestly can't live with out this appliance, with what I do with meats. Everything is nice and solid. Later in life I got really big into grinding, making and smoking my own sausages, meats, and stuff. Setting it, the slicing size adjuster is behind the back plate, which is a nice solid piece of metal as well. That is unless you get into the bigger tor-reys or hobarts, but then your talking almost a grand on up price wise. I used a few that were ok, some I bought and some I borrowed.
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. I like the adjustment on the back as to keep it out of the way. This lead me to purchase a good electric slicer. And very thankful to my father for this awsome gift who gets to eat all the results. This way you can much more easily manage nice quality deli thin slices. Wow, I remember how much work that was o_O. Those three easy things and you have entire access for totally cleaning this amazing slicer.
This keeps it firm and more managable to slice then when room temp, loose and flimsy. All one needs to do is when using the center blade locking nut is use it slowly and gently, and all will go fine. But even with that one thing, this awsome slicer still gets a big 5 stars from me. Then I came across this Chef's Choice 610 that my father bought for me as a gift.
I had done extensive research on this slicer and I am pleased to say it is great. A great money saver and a super product. Also, clean up was very easy. We spent about an hour of non stop slicing and it didn't get hot or overheated once. My husband and I used it to slice a 10lb ham, a 12lb and a loaf of cheese.
But the lubricant on the blade is too much. I found out the wider the meat the harder to slice it perfectly. Frozen beef, lamb and pork. Tried it with slicing meats and vegetables. The clean is not too hard. 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.
Easy to take the blade and parts out for cleaning. This is my first slicer and I got it because of the good reviews others gave. After slicing, the thickness of the meat slicing is not even, the end is thinner than the front. Always got perfect slice. Vegetable:. Carrot and Turnip(Daikan).
Meat:.
Great for slicing meats razor thin. This slicer is easy to clean and works well.
It slices nicely, is easy to use, and cleans up quickly. I spent weeks online, in stores and reading reviews researching slicers to find one that would do all that I wanted and would be easy to maintain. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a home slicer. The catch tray is a real plus, as it keeps the things I am slicing from dropping all over. The blade is easily removed, the other surfaces wipe down easily and the food holder and slider all remove for easy cleaning. It is small enough to fit on the counter next to my toaster oven and is always there when I need it. This one does it all.
