Title: Slicer?
Post by: quadrafire on September 29, 2011, 10:53:45 AM: Cabelas has a refurb Waring pro food slicer, reg 99 on sale for 69. I have read the reviews (mixed).
Anybody on here ever use one?
Did it end up in the trash? :chuckle:

The blade steel isn't high quality and will dull fast. For more frequent use, go with something a little more durable for foodservice. If you have the bucks, you might drop $350 on a good one. I'd check Craigslist for slicers and for restaurant auctions, and then a local restaurant supply.

Personal experience, save your money. Different brand but my $100 plastic slicer lasted a few rounds.
