So I know this is a grill forum but I think it belongs here
I have for many years enjoyed making my own roasts i.e. pork roasts, beef roasts, chicken and so on for the express purpose that I like a nice sandwich but am becoming more conscious of the crap load of chemicals in commercially prepared products.
So wondering if anyone else feels the same and has contemplated (as I) buying a meat slicer. Not looking for some big expensive product but I see a lot of these home slicers and wondered if anyone has ever bought one. If so: Did it work? Did you find it useful? Easy to maintain/sharpen etc? What brand and price?
Up to this point I have relied on a VERY sharp German carbon steel slicer but while it works after a fashion when the hunk o meat is large as you whittle it down getting a nice slice becomes more precarious. Also I find the thinner blade (while it slides through pretty darn well) makes it hard to hold an even thickness due to slight blade flex.
I am specifically looking at products under $150 BTW So let me know thoughts.
