Here's a "professional tip", from when I managed a busy delicatessen. To clean after slicing cheese etc. simply slice some pickles... works like a champ 🎯🎯💜💜
If you freeze the meat (which I know can't always be done) then it won't squish like it did. You'll also be able to cut it as thin as you want without a problem. Be sure to put on a thin winter glove or kevlar glove and then a vinyl or latex glove on the hand holding it so your hand doesn't get too cold.
I have never been disappointed with any product that Cuisinart has manufactured. Thank you for the timely video. I have been making my own bacon and this is the answer to me trying to slice thin slices. Kudos to you
We bought a meat slicer from Marketplace about 3 yrs ago for $60. Looks and operates the same as yours except there are no slice thickness numbers on the knob in the back. This seller happened to be friends of ours so I knew the machine was well taken care of. We need to buy replacement suction cups but we figured out ways of keeping the machine still on the counter. Certainly comes in handy for slicing up pork belly 🤤
I bought this same meat slicer 1 year ago and I love it, it has saved me a ton on money. It's great to make meat chips. I use it a lot to cut meat for sandwiches for my family.
@NYFred3 I ordered it. :) it had the best reviews in its range so it'll answer 2 questions for me, is it enough and will I use it to pay for for it. Thanks so much!
Thank you sooooo much! I bought a slicer a few years ago and hardly used it. I eventually put it away and forgot I had it. Perfect timing now that I'm working towards going carnivore. I've shown me what to do with it and given me food ideas!! I'd say a win all the way around!
When I need meat for chips I go to my butcher and get the meat sliced Carpaccio style. We don’t need to pay extra for slicing the meat how we need it here in Germany. This butcher is behind the meat counter of my grocery store, I buy packaged meat but for meat chips I buy from the fresh meat counter cause I can choose the meat I want. Around Christmas they will have elk and then I get some sliced and make elk chips. I still have beef, pork and turkey chips.
@@KetogenicWoman Truly! We have the benefit of meat shopping on base @commissary, so prices are lower, meat is highly inspected, & butcher's go above & beyond in service. It's part of honoring active duty & retirees, & it's a lifetime benefit. My issue is forgetting to ask! That's about half the time, & other times they are so busy, I don't want to ask. Hence, having my own slicer is prudent~ I really like the one you chose Anita. I may go look again as I ended up missing the Prime pre-sale~ got caught up in airfryer/grill decisions & whiffed the slicer- my own fault, errgghh! =)
I like you go for savings. I now after being married 42 years I had to start handing down tools to the younger generation. I ran out of storage 😊 I really appreciate you figuring out the expenses ❤️Ruth
I got the same meat slicer a few months back. When I first turned it on I thought ''Oh no what a P.O.S.'' as it runs slow. No lol it's awesome! It doesn't have to run at 1000 RPM to cut meat and I'm not running a butcher cutting cold cuts like prosciutto on it so there is no need for the crazy fast RPM. I love your videos, truly since watching your videos I have been able to make my diet feel more like a regular diet again. I am full carnivore however I do allow stevia and dairy. But not a lot of either. I started making your version of the carnivore cheese cake. I just whip up egg yolks now with stevia and glycine along with clean ''no gums or carrageenan'' philly style cream cheese and heavy whipping cream. Its soooooo goooood! I just mix it in a bowl and eat it right out of the bowl now as a meal/treat haha. I'm going to try this next week since I have not done meat chips this way yet. I have always just smoked whole muscle meat, then sliced it and dehydrated it as jerky.
I like jerky as well but find it can be too chewy. For the chips be sure to thinly slice the meat across the grain, that way they will be easy to eat like chips. Jerky is made by slicing along the grain and that makes it chewy. Enjoy!
Could you maybe put a reminder on your calendar to do a follow-up in a year or so? Ie, did you really use it as much as you thought you would? Do the settings and parts get loosey goosey? What happens if the blade gets dull? Did you find any new uses? Etc. (I would appreciate the same for the Foodi grill.)
I wish you had shown how easy/difficult it was to wash and dry the entire slicer. My hubby has wanted a meat slicer for an awfully long time so maybe this will be my next big appliance. 🥰❤️

Thank you for the demo. I’ve been wanting a meat slicer for my carnivore meats and for my dogs meals. You always seem to have the answers I’m looking for when it comes to the carnivore diet. 🥰
Thank you for this video. I have wanted to buy a meat slicer, but I wasn’t sure if it would slice the meat thin enough for meat chips or beef jerky. So now I will buy one ! 😊
That roast beef is exactly how I like it! You did great! I had a meat slicer years ago but it was only me and I didn’t use it much, plus it was so darn big and heavy, finally just gave it away! Too many toys still in my apartment!🤷♀️🤣
I was worried about that too, but this one is super light. Plus right off my kitchen which can't been seen in the videos is a huge storage area. So even though I'm in a condo now I actually have more room!
I ordered mine from Amazon US & it looks exactly like yours but my slider tray is totally removable from the bar & came with 2 blades, a serrated & straight edge. Works great! I made ribeye crips in the oven using your cooking temp & time. Will try the pork loin next. Was the pork loin chips yummy as it’s a much leaner cut than the ribeye.
Yes the pork loin was quite good! If you get those slices thin enough and dehydrate long enough and sprinkle with Redmonds, it's like a bag of honest to goodness chips!
Holy Moly .. $3.00 a pound... that is so cheap. I knew this was an older video... Hamburger is around $8.00 pound... that is in US. I really love this video. Thank you for sharing.
Great video. The plate you are using to catch the meat, I had those growing up. However, we ended up getting rid of them because they had lead in the paint. Not sure if you ever checked your version. Maybe it's a newer one, but I remember the company mentioning to discard the old plates. I miss them though. 🙂
I'm on carnivor and bought one for $69 on sale from walmart. I buy the pork loins and turkey breast and smoke them then slice into lunch meat and also slice blocks of cheese and homemade bread for sandwiches. I figured just good healthy preserve free lunches for the wife and kids I paid for the slicer in a few weeks and that don't include the jerky I make for myself. I also bought a meat grinder and love both I now make all my own sausage, ground beef,pork and.chicken, lunch meat and jerky 😆
Nice! I have an older model and the sliding stainless plate does not come off so it is a bit harder to clean. Mine seems to cut "wedges" too.. maybe i have a lemon cause yours looks great..
@@KetogenicWoman I have had mine for years and has served me well. I have been thinking about getting one a bit more on the pro scale.. but i am going to try slicing part frozen, up to now i have been doing just fridge cold roast beef, ham...
💜🥰🤩🤗 I have a meat slicer in my wishlist, but I really want one that will slice a full piece of bacon😋 Anita it gives me anxiety to see men walking by watching you - I get all defensive like Im going to save you all the way from over here in AZ, lol 😆
Right?! I'm in AZ as well, had same thoughts until she said it was an Amazon delivery. I think it's natural to turn our head toward a window when walking by~ though I agree that it looked a bit creepy~ especially w/the slo-mo😂
It creeped me out to watch it! I think because of all the bright lights in the kitchen he was probably wondering what was going on in this place! Good thing I have the warnings from Teddi!
We make our own bacon, smoke a pork belly on the BBQ, and you can sort of roll up the smoked pork belly to cut full sized slices on the slicer. We used to have a budget model slicer from Cabelas, but the gigmo that holds the blade in broke down. We now have had a slightly pricier model that we got from a food equipment supplier, it's called Chefs Choice, and we really love it. Anita is right, slightly frozen really works well for slicing meats.
Really nice video. I like making a Chinese dish that requires some shredded pork and always have trouble cutting the pork slices thin enough so this seem like it could be great for this.
I haven't found a vggie slicer that's wide enough to slice the Jicama at it's widest point to make big round taco shells so I use it to make beef tendon chips. If you like big food project that take all day then you could make beef tendon chips. You need to boil it to soften then fridge them to stiffen them up then slice very thin to then dehydrate and then fry to make chips. They'll expand to twice or triple their size once they hit the oil and I love watching that, it's so cool. They turn into rice paper or shrimp chips (krepuk)
Hi Phyllis, it depends on the thickness and the fat content, the more fat on/in the meat the longer, and the dehydrating temperature. That being said I have dehydrated the loin (fat cap removed), deli thick in 6 hours @ approx. 180°F in my oven style air fryer. Hope that helps😊
I did one batch for 5-6 hours and then another batch that I just let them go over night. The overnight batch was super crisp and I will likely do that going forward.
Im interested in purchasing a meat slicer. Wondering if,now that you have had yours awhile,do you get a lot of use out of it?Can you give me aopinion of it?Thank you
I use mine only once in awhile when I want to make meat chips or do a thinly sliced roast. So I chose a budget model. If you think you might be a heavy duty user I would look at an upgraded model with more horsepower.
Thank you for sharing. I've been considering getting a meat slicer I'm mostly interested in slicing large ribeye roast into steaks. I usually buy during the Christmas holidays season because the ribeye roast is on sale. Any suggestions on slicer size?
For that I think you would definitely need a bigger slicer! I do cut my own steaks from whole pieces but because of the size I use my 10 inch knife for those! I like my steaks big! 1-2 inches!
I use it weekly at this point. It is sturdy enough but I wouldn't want to be using it on a large scale. I'm sure those ones in the deli would be a better choice if you were going to become the local meat slicer for your friends! My grandma had one and it was permanently out on her counter, back then they made their own sausages and meats to slice!
It would have been good to see how easy or cumbersome it was to clean. Maybe you could do another video for that? btw, thanks for the review! We want to make carnivore crisps, and our own bacon since we also have a smoker.

Love your videos! Get a little disturbed watching your cutting boards and that slicer sliding around on your lovely counters. I put a damp dish-towel under such slippery things. They don't slide around then. Am afraid you are going to end up with a disaster on the floor!!!!
No, I haven't been using that other than for video making purposes last month with I did an egg white powder free bun and was trying out the frozen butter thing! Anything like that is going into the freezer or being given away to family right now. I plan on doing a couple more things like that between now and Christmas as well.
Anita, thanks for this review. I’ve been looking for slicer for a long time. Is your link an affiliate link? If so, it may be the way I go. it’s not that expensive. the money could be earned back almost right away. Also, do you have a link to the knife you’re using? Or, might you suggest what type of knife for me to get? I’ve been eating carnivore for over two years and my knives are terrible. I’ve never been able to cut a steak from a roast. I need to remedy that especially if I’m going to use this machine.
I have this knife, it's 10 inches so a little big but I do love it! amzn.to/3VRfbN8 . I think 8-9 inches would be perfect so I might add that at some point and keep the long one for when cutting very large pieces of meat into steaks. And yes, the product links are affiliate links. Every little bit helps so thank you for asking and supporting!
It's funny, I have a friend and both our Moms were from the 'old country' and we grew up with meat slicers in the kitchen and charcuterie boards of all kinds (back then called deli trays or meat and cheese plates)! Now it's a craze but sure has been around a long time! 😂
I bought one of those at a garage sale this summer, but it's missing the part the meat sits on top of. I need to contact the company to get the replacement part! I keep forgetting, so this video is a great reminder, thanks!! I AM very anxious to try using it! Life has gotten in the way of my getting online and getting the part! You know how life goes! I cannot wait to see how your meat chips turn out!!!
How tricky is it to clean the area behind the blade? I would think a lot of bits would fly back there, and it looks like a lot of little nooks and crannies in there. It's true that they wouldn't touch the meat you end up with, but it would get stinky and gross if you couldn't get it all out.
THANKS for a great review. Could you PLEASE demo the breakdown and clean-up for this machine? Difficult cleaning would be a deal breaker for me. I've been wanting a meat slicer for some time. Looks like Cuisinart discontinued their more expensive model.
There's only 3 pieces that come off for cleaning which I showed starting at around 2:20 of the video. Those 3 pieces are then washed in the sink (they recommend not in the dishwasher). The rest of the unit is just wiped down. The next time I use I'll film the actual cleaning!
Here's a "professional tip", from when I managed a busy delicatessen. To clean after slicing cheese etc. simply slice some pickles... works like a champ 🎯🎯💜💜
I noticed 2 things that are making me reconsider purchasing this brand of slicer. 1 - the machine is sliding and moving the whole time you are using it. 2 - the sliced meat falls on to the machine as opposed to a clean tray or dish???
It's super light weight and now what I do is just put a silicone baking mat underneath and it stays in place. I just put a clean dish behind it to collect the slices.

I actually had it out yesterday to use and I don't find it very loud. I do think it is quieter in the video though, but it's definitely not as loud as a blender!
Temp I do at 165 but time will vary of course depending on thickness. It's going to be anywhere from 6-12 hours. ketogenicwoman.com/how-to-make-carnivore-meat-chips/
Yes and I have 3-4 bags of chicken skins in my freezer purchased from the butcher! But I would not dehydrate them, I would bake them in the oven on parchment and capture the fat for cooking. Schmaltz is a much prized fat! And the baked skins are so good!
@@doggoneme3863 Thighs and wings are my preference! I will eat breast but only if sous vide, otherwise I find them a bit dry. I don't eat chicken as much as I eat beef but definitely a couple times a month!
I paid , in Canada, 150$ after tax near 200$ 3 months in, it is broken. Plastic crap. Something broke in gear section. Only sliced roast beef and ham, minimally. At any rate blade does not turn.
Get a refund. Also I'm in Canada and paid under $100, so not sure why the big difference there. This is absolutely a budget model which is fine for my simple needs.
I have one that I bought 4 years ago.... AND I HATE IT WITH A PASSION. It's flimsy, will not be consistant. Save your money or spend alot more. Believe me.
I appreciate your videos but dear lord I hated this meat slicer and returned it for a refund. The meat just squished up. Ridiculous. It doesn’t have settings to see what thickness you’re at either. This is a truly awful product.
So, I guess you actually thought you could fool people by speeding up the video to make it look like it was slicing fast. I will let the people know that this is not capable of slicing fast. I had a similar one that I just threw out because of 2 main reasons. First, of course, is that it cannot slice fast like you see at the local deli. 2nd, It is very hard to actually get paper thin slices, like in chipped ham. It is easier if the meat is still frozen. If the meat is not frozen, don't even try to get thin slices.
You have a lot to celebrate there! There is nothing easy about losing 142 pounds, I know this for a fact! Give yourself some credit and some grace! There were times where I just stayed the same weight for awhile even months sometimes, because it felt too hard to keep going. During those times it took every ounce of effort to maintain my weight and sometimes I slid backwards and had some gain. But eventually I always came back around and got going again. That's why it has taken me 10 years to lose what I have lost so far. When my Dad died in 2017 I gained back 40 pounds and stayed at that weight for over a year. It was just too hard. But eventually I got back to work. It's worth it and all the little losses add up. It doesn't matter how long it takes, just keep working on it as best you can! And celebrate the fact that YOU HAVE LOST 142 FREAKING POUNDS! That is a whole person ! Well done!💗

Hi Phyllis, it depends on the thickness and the fat content, the more fat on/in the meat the longer, and the dehydrating temperature. That being said I have dehydrated the loin (fat cap removed), deli thick in 6 hours @ approx. 180°F in my oven style air fryer. Hope that helps😊
I did one batch for 5-6 hours and then another batch that I just let them go over night. The overnight batch was super crisp and I will likely do that going forward.
@@KetogenicWoman I'm with you, I prefer them to longer too.😘
Fantastic way to stretch the meat budget....well done.
Thanks so much!
Im interested in purchasing a meat slicer. Wondering if,now that you have had yours awhile,do you get a lot of use out of it?Can you give me aopinion of it?Thank you
I use mine only once in awhile when I want to make meat chips or do a thinly sliced roast. So I chose a budget model. If you think you might be a heavy duty user I would look at an upgraded model with more horsepower.
Thankyou. Will take your advice gladly
Thank you for sharing. I've been considering getting a meat slicer I'm mostly interested in slicing large ribeye roast into steaks. I usually buy during the Christmas holidays season because the ribeye roast is on sale. Any suggestions on slicer size?
For that I think you would definitely need a bigger slicer! I do cut my own steaks from whole pieces but because of the size I use my 10 inch knife for those! I like my steaks big! 1-2 inches!
How often are you using it? Is it sturdy enough to maybe slice stuff for your friends as well?
I use it weekly at this point. It is sturdy enough but I wouldn't want to be using it on a large scale. I'm sure those ones in the deli would be a better choice if you were going to become the local meat slicer for your friends! My grandma had one and it was permanently out on her counter, back then they made their own sausages and meats to slice!
Hi could you let me know which model of ninja you have please.thankyou
Right now I have the Ninja Power XL Grill, I gave the one in this video to my daughter.
Would have liked to see you clean the slicer. Have a old rival where motor comes off and slicer comes apart
I did a followup video to clean the slicer! th-cam.com/video/514eM1ieSW4/w-d-xo.html
It would have been good to see how easy or cumbersome it was to clean. Maybe you could do another video for that? btw, thanks for the review! We want to make carnivore crisps, and our own bacon since we also have a smoker.
Sure thing! I did have that request from a few people so I'll plan something. Need to slice more meat anyways!
@@KetogenicWoman Here's a "professional tip", from when I managed a busy delicatessen. To clean after slicing cheese etc. simply slice some pickles... works like a champ 🎯🎯💜💜
Yes I can’t get the crisps here in U K. Do you make chicken crisps if so how do you make those please?
Only with the skins and I do those in the oven.
Love your videos! Get a little disturbed watching your cutting boards and that slicer sliding around on your lovely counters. I put a damp dish-towel under such slippery things. They don't slide around then. Am afraid you are going to end up with a disaster on the floor!!!!
haha, yes it would be better to secure it somehow!
@@KetogenicWoman You have live-in floor cleaners with your fur babies😊😊
My husband and I bought a meat slicer years ago, have used it several times! It's great not to rely on the butcher all the time....lol
Yes, it seems that some places will slice for you and some not!
Do you do anything to the pork or season it before dehydrating? I have done jerky but no other meats.
Just Redmonds salt! Here's the video where I load up the trays of my dehydrator! th-cam.com/video/sX8zPgKUk18/w-d-xo.html
@@KetogenicWoman thank you! I should have remembered! Sorry! Have a great weekend🧡💛🧡. I totally missed that one, so extra thanks!!
Hi Anita...are you still baking and eating egg white protein bread/buns while you're avoiding sweet food?
No, I haven't been using that other than for video making purposes last month with I did an egg white powder free bun and was trying out the frozen butter thing! Anything like that is going into the freezer or being given away to family right now. I plan on doing a couple more things like that between now and Christmas as well.
Anita, thanks for this review. I’ve been looking for slicer for a long time. Is your link an affiliate link? If so, it may be the way I go. it’s not that expensive. the money could be earned back almost right away.
Also, do you have a link to the knife you’re using? Or, might you suggest what type of knife for me to get? I’ve been eating carnivore for over two years and my knives are terrible. I’ve never been able to cut a steak from a roast. I need to remedy that especially if I’m going to use this machine.
Same here Valerie~ my knives are shot, time for new ones.
I have this knife, it's 10 inches so a little big but I do love it! amzn.to/3VRfbN8 . I think 8-9 inches would be perfect so I might add that at some point and keep the long one for when cutting very large pieces of meat into steaks. And yes, the product links are affiliate links. Every little bit helps so thank you for asking and supporting!
I like the Victorianox knives: amzn.to/3VRfbN8
I love your handle! I’ve never desired to travel in an RV, but I think this is very clever. 😊@@RV-there-Yet
@@KetogenicWoman thank you very much. You’ve done so much to help me, of course I want to do what little bit I can help you! 😊
Can you share the label next time you purchase them so I can see which ones to get.
Sorry, which label? For the pork loin?
So the charcuterie board craze has some benefits! :D
It's funny, I have a friend and both our Moms were from the 'old country' and we grew up with meat slicers in the kitchen and charcuterie boards of all kinds (back then called deli trays or meat and cheese plates)! Now it's a craze but sure has been around a long time! 😂
I bought one of those at a garage sale this summer, but it's missing the part the meat sits on top of. I need to contact the company to get the replacement part! I keep forgetting, so this video is a great reminder, thanks!! I AM very anxious to try using it! Life has gotten in the way of my getting online and getting the part! You know how life goes!
I cannot wait to see how your meat chips turn out!!!
Oh cool, you should be able to get that part and get slicing!
@@KetogenicWoman I sure hope so!!! I'm excited, like you! :)
How tricky is it to clean the area behind the blade? I would think a lot of bits would fly back there, and it looks like a lot of little nooks and crannies in there. It's true that they wouldn't touch the meat you end up with, but it would get stinky and gross if you couldn't get it all out.
I didn't find it tricky at all! Once you take out the blade it's easy to access all the areas with a wash cloth. I haven't had to do anything fancy!
THANKS for a great review. Could you PLEASE demo the breakdown and clean-up for this machine? Difficult cleaning would be a deal breaker for me. I've been wanting a meat slicer for some time. Looks like Cuisinart discontinued their more expensive model.
There's only 3 pieces that come off for cleaning which I showed starting at around 2:20 of the video. Those 3 pieces are then washed in the sink (they recommend not in the dishwasher). The rest of the unit is just wiped down. The next time I use I'll film the actual cleaning!
How well does this slice cheeses?
Here's a "professional tip", from when I managed a busy delicatessen. To clean after slicing cheese etc. simply slice some pickles... works like a champ 🎯🎯💜💜
I noticed 2 things that are making me reconsider purchasing this brand of slicer. 1 - the machine is sliding and moving the whole time you are using it. 2 - the sliced meat falls on to the machine as opposed to a clean tray or dish???
It's super light weight and now what I do is just put a silicone baking mat underneath and it stays in place. I just put a clean dish behind it to collect the slices.
Anita, place you slicer on a silicone mat so it doesn't slide on your counter.
Fantastic tip!
I have the same one. I use it a ton. Any tips for the blade? I noticed it seems to be getting dull... I have no idea what to do.
Mine is still good but I saw that on youtube there are videos that go through how to sharpen, so that would be a great place to start!
Can you put that slices frozen beef back in the freezer?
If they are still frozen then yes!
Have you used it to sliced cheese?
No but mostly because I am avoiding cheese at this point!
@@KetogenicWoman same! I find it highly inflammatory unless it’s Feta, or Parmesan.

Do you still like your meat slicer ? I’m in the market for one for jerky and meat chips 👍🏻
Yes I still like it for the low price and works well for the small amounts that I use it. Mainly I use it for meat chips!
How about starting a snack business?
I felt like I had a snack business when I raised 4 kids, lol!
@@KetogenicWoman 😂😂
Thanks!
Welcome!😍
Meat chips…looks like something I would like to try. Amazon driver looking in your window..Lol.
He must wonder what the heck is going in my kitchen, lights and cameras right in view there!
Your slicer seems pretty quiet...did you filter the noise or is it that quiet?
I actually had it out yesterday to use and I don't find it very loud. I do think it is quieter in the video though, but it's definitely not as loud as a blender!
What temp and time do you dehydrate the pork?
Temp I do at 165 but time will vary of course depending on thickness. It's going to be anywhere from 6-12 hours. ketogenicwoman.com/how-to-make-carnivore-meat-chips/
Do you dehydrate the pork raw?
Yes I do.
Do you still use this slicer?
If you had to purchase another one, would you purchase the same one?
I do and I would! I only use it for meat chips so it's good value for that!
Does the meat have to be partially frozen?
It is just easier to slice thin when it's partially frozen.
That meat looked so raw....but I have a huge urge to eat it....I think I might be part vampire like my school psychologist said.
Do you ever eat chicken or dehydrate the skin?
Yes and I have 3-4 bags of chicken skins in my freezer purchased from the butcher! But I would not dehydrate them, I would bake them in the oven on parchment and capture the fat for cooking. Schmaltz is a much prized fat! And the baked skins are so good!
@@KetogenicWoman Do you actually eat chicken? Breast, thigh or leg.
@@doggoneme3863 Thighs and wings are my preference! I will eat breast but only if sous vide, otherwise I find them a bit dry. I don't eat chicken as much as I eat beef but definitely a couple times a month!
how to find new blades for blade slicer
Amazon or Cuisinart.com
❤️
The Amazon guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
can you cut a roast chicken with it
I wouldn't think so? Not with the bones an all that.
I bought this and took it out to test it. Left a black residue on a block of parmesan cheese. Can anyone help?
Was it maybe machine oil on the unit? Cut or grate that part of the cheese off?
I paid , in Canada, 150$ after tax near 200$ 3 months in, it is broken. Plastic crap. Something broke in gear section. Only sliced roast beef and ham, minimally. At any rate blade does not turn.
Get a refund. Also I'm in Canada and paid under $100, so not sure why the big difference there. This is absolutely a budget model which is fine for my simple needs.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤️🥰❤️
Same for me with Carnivore Crisps. Too expensive and not worth it. My homemade meat chips are better 😉
They sure are!
🌈💚🍀
ribeye chips? that's some expensive chips.
You can make meat chips out of any meat you that can be sliced thin. In this video I used $3lb pork loin.
I have one that I bought 4 years ago....
AND I HATE IT WITH A PASSION. It's flimsy, will not be consistant.
Save your money or spend alot more.
Believe me.
I still like mine but I am not a power user so I am happy with the el cheapo model. It does exactly what I need it to do!
I appreciate your videos but dear lord I hated this meat slicer and returned it for a refund. The meat just squished up. Ridiculous. It doesn’t have settings to see what thickness you’re at either. This is a truly awful product.
I still love mine!
So, I guess you actually thought you could fool people by speeding up the video to make it look like it was slicing fast. I will let the people know that this is not capable of slicing fast. I had a similar one that I just threw out because of 2 main reasons. First, of course, is that it cannot slice fast like you see at the local deli. 2nd, It is very hard to actually get paper thin slices, like in chipped ham. It is easier if the meat is still frozen. If the meat is not frozen, don't even try to get thin slices.
Speeding up the video is not 'fooling' people. They are way smarter than you give them credit for. This meat slicer does exactly what I need it to do.
I'VE LOST 142 BUT I'M NOT UP BEAT ABOUT IT SADLY. GOT 100 MORE TO GO... ❤💛💙🖤🤍
You have a lot to celebrate there! There is nothing easy about losing 142 pounds, I know this for a fact! Give yourself some credit and some grace! There were times where I just stayed the same weight for awhile even months sometimes, because it felt too hard to keep going. During those times it took every ounce of effort to maintain my weight and sometimes I slid backwards and had some gain. But eventually I always came back around and got going again. That's why it has taken me 10 years to lose what I have lost so far. When my Dad died in 2017 I gained back 40 pounds and stayed at that weight for over a year. It was just too hard. But eventually I got back to work. It's worth it and all the little losses add up. It doesn't matter how long it takes, just keep working on it as best you can! And celebrate the fact that YOU HAVE LOST 142 FREAKING POUNDS! That is a whole person ! Well done!💗
Daisy you are stronger than you know! Be your own best friend and source of encouragement... you got this stand tall & proud 🙏🙏🥰🥰💜💜
