A
meat slicer, also called a
slicing machine,
deli slicer or simply a
slicer, is a tool used in
butcher shops and
to slice meats,
Sausage, cheeses and other deli products. As compared to a simple knife, using a meat slicer requires less effort, as well as keeps the texture of food more intact.
Generally, slicers can be adjusted easily to cut slices of variable thickness. Older models of meat slicer may be operated by crank, while newer ones generally use an
electric motor.
While the slicer is traditionally a commercial apparatus, domestic use versions are also marketed.
