A slicer is a kitchen tool, whether manual or electric, primarily used for cutting cured meats, cheeses, meats, and, in some cases, even bread and vegetables. There are two main types of professional slicers: vertical and gravity, with significant differences in their construction and use.

Meaning and Presentation: A slicer is a device designed to cut food evenly and precisely, facilitating the preparation of dishes or sales at the counter. The presentation of a slicer can vary depending on the model and brand, but generally includes a base, a support plate for the food, a rotating blade, a food holder, and, in some models, a system for adjusting the thickness of the slice.

Types of Slicers

Vertical Slicers: These slicers feature a blade perpendicular to the support surface. The food is manually advanced towards the blade to be sliced. They are generally preferred for cutting fresh meats, especially large pieces, due to their precision and the control they offer while cutting.
Gravity Slicers: In this case, the blade is angled relative to the support surface. This inclination allows the food to naturally slide toward the blade, making slicing easier and faster. Gravity slicers are often chosen for slicing cured meats, cheeses, and other softer foods or foods that don't require the same precision as meat.

Other Features

In addition to the type, slicers can vary in:

Blade material: Stainless steel blades are common, but Teflon blades are also available for foods that tend to stick.
Size and motor power: Depending on your needs, slicers can be found with different blade sizes and more or less powerful motors.
Additional features: Some slicers offer features such as automatic blade sharpening or the ability to slice frozen foods.

In short, the choice between a vertical slicer and a gravity slicer, or between the various models available, depends on your specific slicing needs and preferences.

The slicer range: a selection of tools exclusively designed for industry professionals. Extremely robust machines made from high-quality materials, traditionally designed to last, capable of satisfying even the most demanding users thanks to their ease of handling, practicality, and design.
