Slicer issue

[Nefarious]

I just got my chef's choice 615a and attempted to use it on the @TNJAKE inspired brisket bacon.

The slicing seemed to have been good, the result fried and eaten on my bagel for breakfast this morning.

This is what the meat being sliced looked like after a few slices.

Am I pushing too hard on the meat so it bends down during the slice?

I'm not familiar with your slicer, but are you pushing from on the top or from the outside, It looks like to much outside pressure midway.

 

[TNJAKE]

I think you are applying too much pressure. Also partial freezing of the meat makes better slices.

I think Jake and Chris are right about pressure and chilling your meat. Also, these slicers have a pretty good gap between the slider and the blade. That's another cause of what I call a "Hanger". I do the above, but also flip what I'm slicing every few slices so it cuts down on that flap. Not perfect, but it's ok.

That's normal . 4 or 5 slices and flip . Someone on here was 3-D printing a spacer for those . Where the table meets the fence . It closes that gap so you don't get that tag .

I actually have one of those. Made a HUGE difference.

3D Printed Chef's Choice slicer "flap killer" modification

SLA and FDM printing are wildly different. Parts on an SLA machine can end up with completely smooth surfaces and virtually no visible layer lines because they can get down to insanely high resolution. The issue with SLA is that the parts are usually pretty brittle, and the resin is expensive. I...

I remember that post. It was the guy with the pinched up face for an avatar. Kind of like he ate a whole lemon.

His Mom told him his face would get stuck like that . He didn't listen and now look at him .
