The roast beef shredded a bit, so we increased the cut size to the next thickness (1/16 inch), and it stayed intact.īest for Deli Sandwiches: Cuisinart - FS-75 We experimented with the thinnest setting, and the cheese and salami were sliced as perfectly as you’d see on a restaurant’s charcuterie board. Also, the knob moves away from the blade - rather than towards it, like most of the other slicers’ knobs do - so it’s safe as well. First, your thumb fits into the curve, which allows for a precise adjustment of cut size. The Cuisinart’s slice control knob is set at a true zero, which guarantees practically zero chance of injury when you’re storing it. So it was reassuring that when we unpacked the Cuisinart, its blade was completely recessed into the blade’s casing. The circular blade looks like a mini buzzsaw, and it really is as sharp as it looks. If you’ve never worked with a meat slicer before, it may be a bit intimidating at first. Not only does the Cuisinart – FS-75 cut tissue-paper-thin slices, it also has several safety and ergonomic features that none of the other meat slicers we tested has. We also liked the Arksen – A-048-GM-48087, which was on a par performance-wise with the Cuisinart, but it lacked a couple of small features that put the Cuisinart on top.

The clear winner was the Cuisinart – FS-75, which sliced hard salami, roast beef and semi-soft cheese paper thin, just like you would get at a deli.


We sliced through ten pounds of meat and cheese to find the best meat slicer for the home.
