Choosing the best professional slicer based on your needs

To have beautiful slices of white ham or a chiffonade of raw ham, it is imperative to purchase a suitable device. Whether restaurateurs, butchers, caterers, and even individuals, they are always looking for a quality machine that will adapt to their needs. If some references are compact, other models are a little more imposing. Choosing a professional slicer may also be essential depending on your activities.

How to use such a professional slicer?

You have the most traditional model since it has a sliding drawer. You delicately place the piece of ham or cold meats, you adjust the thickness of the slices as well as the cutting speed. With your hand, you push this drawer, the product meets the blade and the slices appear on the lower part. They are then collected by the professional, packaged and sold to customers. 

• In this case, you must select a professional slicer whose flow rate will be adapted to your activity .
• For occasional needs, small entry-level slicers will be more than sufficient.
• On the other hand, if you sell slices of ham very often, choose a professional version which can cost more than 2000 euros.

 Other models are equipped with a wheel, so the operating mode is not the same since you have to use this accessory to cut the slice. The settings are a little more specific and these are less common references compared to this professional slicer. 

What are the criteria to take into account?

You must contact a professional to be sure you are purchasing a quality product that will meet all your requirements. Safety instructions must be respected in the same way as standards since a professional slicer can be dangerous due to improper use. For the choice, you can focus on the coating which can be stainless steel or aluminum as well as the thickness proposed. 

The type of power supply is also a selection criterion, because the version with a steering wheel is manual, so you will not need electricity. This can be interesting if you are a nomadic seller. Other criteria are important such as the color of this professional slicer as well as the presence or not of a blade sharpener. The latter is very practical and it saves you from using another device so that the blade is easy to use. With such a professional reference, you will be able to cut ham and all cold meats in the best conditions.
