The credit for first slicing machine is given to Wilhelm van Berkel of Rotterdam, in 1898.
”Our studies indicate a fast payback for T-2000 with many retailers averaging up to 165% mark-up, paying for the “Spirocutter” in one day!” Accessed September 2010. A company that makes them advertises that you can charge a 165% markup on a ham that has been spiral cut. Refurbished ones cost cost $7,500 to $25,000 (2005 prices.) The line has been revived, and is headquartered in Troy, Ohio.Ĭommercially, there are spiral cutters that produce the spiral-cut hams sold in North America. The body on them is a fire-engine red, and the blade on them is concave. Vintage hand-cranked models such as those made by Berkel are much sought-after, as they are considered the cream of crank operated meat slicers.
#FOOD SLICER MANUAL#
Rather than seeing the hand cranking as a drawback, some chefs say good quality manual machines can be better: they can cut thinner slices than electric ones, and because the blade turns more slowly, there is less friction, and therefore less heat to affect the taste of what you are slicing. Most modern meat slicers are electric, but older ones were crank operated. Some models may take up too much counter space, but yet be too heavy to be always putting away between uses. If clean up is a lot of work, you may find yourself avoiding using your expensive piece of kitchen equipment.Ĭonsider, too, if you want your meat slicer to live on the counter. Many, oddly as it seems, don’t offer any parts that can be chucked into the dishwasher. Some can take 7 to 8 minutes to clean up because they have to be completely disassembled, base included, for clean up.
