Roast 'Beast'

[BigFish]

They had a sale on bottom round (stocked up) so I smoked a bottom round for roast beef on the 590 for New Years Eve. I have a professional slicer, so after resting in the fridge overnight, I sliced it paper thin. It was like butta. I used Everglades seasoning (a Florida thing) on it and was a hit.

I've been slicer shopping after Pastrami Round #1. Any recommendations @BigFish ?

I have an Italian job I've had for over 30 years. They don't make it anymore, but they still make the parts for it, but under a different name. Don't cheap out on a slicer, stick with a brand name - it's worth the extra shekels.

Thanks @BigFish. I've been looking at restaurant supply places vs. Amazon, etc. I'm willing to make an investment, but I'm just unclear how far to get carried away. I'm thinking a 10" blade, gravity fed, but since I'm just using at home I could probably get by with a 1/4 to 1/3 HP motor model. I also don't need some monstrosity that requires two men and a boy to pick up and move for storage.

I store mine in a plastic tote box and take it out when needed. It's not as heavy as a Hobart or Berkel, but there's weight to it. Let me check the model. Took me a while to figure out there were still parts out there, even though original company is gone. I have it from a pizzeria I used to own and took it with me.

I cure a lot of my own Italian meats like soppressata, Lonzo, bresaola, and gabagool. So I need a good slicer.

I purchased the:

KWS MS-10NT Premium Commercial 320W 10-Inch Teflon Blade​

It has been a great product so far.

I got an OLD, OLD, OLD slicer made by American Slicing Machine Co. out of Chicago. I believe they went out of business in the 40's. It's all there and still works. (I restored it) I have a blade, but have been on the lookout for a better one for years due to pitting (only 6 1/2") Talk about a HEAVY machine!!

I bought this one: No problems with it, and self sharpening to boot.

Funny, my buddy found a Berkel on Swip Swap today. I kid you not, $70 bucks. I looked it up and is over $2000. The meat push was locked up and was a mess. We worked on it for about an hour and runs like new. He just needs to replace the sharpening stones. It is a tank though. What a deal!
