Trout fisherman Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hi Does anyone know of a decent home meat slicer? I had one a good few years ago and after a very short while it wasn’t fit for purpose. Have now started cold smoking bacon and would like to get myself a new meat slicer, but don’t want to purchase another one that will pack up after a few months. I am in Somerset in the U.K. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I tried several "domestic" models a few years ago and was always disapointed with the results. In the ens I bought a small commercial one - Buffalo CD278 - and it had given good results, is solid and is easy to clean. Ibought mine from Nisbets and they are still a current model. They are not cheap - but you certainly get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trout fisherman Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Hi Wade Just looked at Nisbets and they have a Buffalo cd277 slicer for sale at £296 or make an offer, is this model worth a go? Or is the cd278 a better model. cheers Wade. Bob, Somerset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Kevin Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hi Bob, You might want to also check out catering equipment auctions, ebay and even facebook marketplace. Currently facebook has a bunch of buffalo slicers here is a link. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/106027109438276/search?query=buffalo slicer or ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313&_nkw=buffalo+slicer&_sacat=0 Of course it depends on your budget and how often you want to use a slicer but there are always food operations going out of business so you might pick up a bargain. In my experience as chef a good brand like buffalo can last for 20+ years, so a second hand one can be a reasonable punt.
