Like many of you, I have a Chef's Choice slicer. Just wondering where you purchase the food grade grease for it? I'm putting together an order for Butcher-Packer and found this stuff which seems appropriate but requires a grease gun.

Thanks for your help!

Maintenance sheet says no lubrication is required.

Having said that, look for food grade spray lube rather than grease (if you must).

maybe something like this

That's odd, mine says to grease the gears on the back of the blade and the slicer side. There's a heavy white grease on there now, but a little less every time I use it.

My bad. When I searched for chefs choice, it gave me their knife sharpener inst sheet (you didn't provide a model # but my mistake For not being more observant).

Food grade vaseline can be used. Found at sausage making places (as you found) . Apparently it is also used in faucets??. Try a plumbing store. Might have it in a more convenient size.

I did find this though

Thanks Len. I've never noticed it at a plumbing store, but I'll try a restaurant supply.

The grease I use comes in a small tube (about the size model glue came in when I was a kid). That grease gun would be overkill.
