I knew the best brand for a meat slicer was Berkel, but their machines are simply too expensive for a home user, until very recently when they introduced the Homeline. It is still very expensive so it took me a long time before I committed to the purchase…
Just received my machine this week and had to wait for the weekend to be able to try it out.
First impressions are that this machine is incredibly well designed. Feels very solid and the blade, motor, traveller are all extremely well balanced and simply function as expected.
It has a very professional feel, but the look is nice.
The downside, the machine is still huge for a home kitchen and very heavy (required to make get the rigidity necessary for thin straight cuts).
However making thin slices of saucisson or thin slices of cheese make everything taste a little different and special, a big success with the family…
