OSTBA Foldable Meat Slicer

Pros: Cuts stuff Folding design works well Reasonably easy to clean - make sure you take the blade off Blade seems sharp enough With discount, reasonably cheap enough Cons: Motor a bit slow and underpowered, starts complaining if you push the meat against the cutting plane too hard, eg to get a thinner slice Tolerances and blade speed/power too poor for very thin slices, under about 4mm you just get small shavings. Don't expect to be slicing prosciutto or carpaccio with this. Large gap between carriage and blade causes bottom of meat to ride beneath the blade and form a "flap" as you slice it. This means you won't get the full cross section of the meat, and you have to occasionally flip the meat or cut off the flap. This is by far the most frustrating aspect. Pusher assembly is useless - I purchased cut proof gloves and just hold the meat on the carriage. "Catcher" plate lip doesn't stay on the slicer, sliced meats push it off. I got this to slice my own turkey breast and roast beef deli meats thinner than I can do by hand. With some adaptations I can make it work, but don't expect anything close to the performance of the slicers your deli counter has.
