Home meat slicer recommendation?

Home meat slicer recommendation?

I'm looking for a home meat slicer. ANyone have one that
they love? Which one and why?

Any to stay away from? Again, why?

I'm looking at a few. A Waring, Cooks Essentials, and Chefs
Choice. It won't be heavily used but I want to have good
control of thickness and to get a good uniform cut.

Meats mainly.

My advice is to look at how you would clean it after slicing a bunch of
greasy meat.

I didn't take it that way at all. He's right: check on how easy it is
to clean.

I've had one, it broke. I'm familiar with them. I asked for
advice on the units themselves, not how to clean them.
Anyone with a couple of brains should be able to decipher
that...

If someone asked how to change the oil in a car would you
tell them to think about getting dirty and how to clean up?
Big help....

No, but you might advise them to consider how easy it is to change the
filter without spilling oil all over the exhaust manifold, for
example.

I'd say the comment on cleaning was well-intentioned, and not worthy
of your vitriol.

I have a Chef's Choice, but I won't even consider telling you what I
think of it. You don't deserve any help.

Oh, in case I forgot to mention it: global {plonk}.

Fine. If you'd been around this group for any length of time
you would have noticed that I give help to any that I can
without going off on tangents. I still say the cleaning
thing was stupid. I obviously KNOW I have to clean it. DUH!
It's like saying, "I want a new home entertainment center"
and someone coming back and saying something intelligent
such as "be careful with those, you can hurt your hearing".
See the relevance issue? I doubt it.

I'm sure that some of the people who have been here a while,
or who can read and comprehend, will answer with some
reasonable objective opinions. Yours? I don't need and
wouldn't even consider so, stuff it.

What tangents? Go back and read what you ACTUALLY WROTE.

No one went off on a tangent.

Only in your mind was there a tangent, but that's because the actual
question remained locked in YOUR mind, not known to anyone else.

Asshole. Nobody cares how long you've been around or what your
contributions may have been. You're an asshole. Go away.

I've been reading this group since the week it began, along with
numerous other groups since the prehistoric time before formal USEnet
began.

Tangents are what make USEnet interesting and worthwhile.

Geez, Shag, you had to quote the guy... 8;)

You "obviously" know how to clean it?

How would ANYONE infer that from what you wrote?

Let's take a look at that again, shall we? You wrote:

Yeah. OH yeah. ANYONE could tell that you're INTIMATELY familiar
already with ALL SORTS of things surrounding meat slicers, including
cleaning. Let's see, the words "I know how to clean them" are
plainly...let's see....hmmmm, let's quote you again, I can't find them:

clean....I know how to clean them.....hmmmm, still can't find that
information from what you posted, or anything that even remotely
indicates that you've EVER HAD A MEAT SLICER.

That's right. "I'm looking for a home meat slicer. Anyone have one
that they love? Which one and why?" are the words of someone who is
looking for all sorts of information, including "be sure you investigate
how easy it is to clean".

There we are, offering helpful hints to someone who plainly, from his
own words (as anyone with a couple of brain cells could tell), doesn't
know anything about meat slicers.

But then you berate the world for making such an inference from your
post.

You are a fucking asshole. Go crawl back into your hole, and stay
there. Don't bother coming back out.

Re: Home meat slicer recommendation?

To "Shagnasty" (hm... fairly fitting) and plrgyst (nice
name): (Mine's real by the way)

I've been around usenet for years. It's typical of "old
times" to actually answer the question that has been posed.

But you can both go fuck off in my filters and I'll go back
to seeing the people here who are actually HELPFUL!

Not that you really care, but after some additional
research, I found a supplier who has the idler gear that I
broke for my slicer. Which BTW, will go into the dishwasher.
Obviously not the motor, but I'd better explain that to you
two idiots.

Does the acronym (assuming you know what an acronym IS) FOAD
mean anything to you two bozos?

You've also obviously been a blithering asshole for years.

Did you read what I wrote? We did answer the question that you posed.
The problem is, YOU didn't actually pose the question you wanted
answered.

And then when you got an answer to the question you posed, you went
postal. Asshole.

waaaaaaaaaaaah.....poor baby.

What's that? I can't hear you for your mom's thighs against my ears.

Re: Home meat slicer recommendation?

This is pretty pathetic, Steve. Seems you're going off
half-cocked a lot lately.

Just my $.02 <shrug>

By answering the question you put down in writing instead of answering
the question that was rattling around in your pathetic brain?

Maybe if you learn to write down the actual question instead of just
imagining it, you'd get answers you want.

But as long as you write random crap that has nothing to do with the
actual question you want an answer to, people will continue not to read
your mind and assume that what you write is what you mean.

So fuck off, asshole.
