Keeper of the Kitchen

 

No matter how much you love cooking and regardless of how expert you are with the processes, there are certain elements that most of us would want to avoid at all costs. Cooking can be heavily dominated by knife work, be it cutting, chopping, slicing or dicing. While fruits and vegetables are still manageable, it is those big pieces of meat that can be the real horror story. Meat is available and is widely used as a major food ingredient in many cuisines, and is required to be used in various forms such as fillets, dices, cutlet, etc.

Since meat is not as tender as vegetables and fruits, cutting it in the desired form even with the best chef knives is a real struggle. Especially if you intend to make multiple pieces, cooks often struggle with keeping the sizes of all pieces even. The entire process not only gets very tedious and messy but can also be really time-consuming. A meat slicer is nothing short of a blessing under such circumstances. The culinary industry has invented many appliances and equipment to make life easier for cooks and meat slicers are one of them. If you are looking to buy one for yourself, here are some of the best butcher quality meat slicers reviewed for you.

BESWOOD 250 Premium Meat Cheese Slicer

This meat slicer by Beswood is inarguably the best one in the market. With its 240W and a premium chromium-plated carbon steel blade, this slicer is an excellent pick for both home and commercial use. The equipment itself along with its blade is exceptionally strong and well built. It is very user-friendly and easy maintenance, and despite its commercial grade motor, it does not make a lot of noise or vibration. On the downside, this meat slicer is bulkier than many of its competitors and has a higher price point.

It is a user-friendly and easy to maintain equipment with a Teflon blade which also makes it rust-resistant. However, this meat slicer also loses some points for being bulky and expensive.
