So here's the deal. Due to lack of space and a need for a lighter unit so the lady of the house can feel like she can use the slicer as well I've narrowed my search down to the nesco fs-250 and the chef's choice 615 food slicers. $150 is as high as I'm going with this venture.:grin:
Does ANYBODY have experience with one or both of these? I'd like to get things where she could feel confident slicing meats as well as cheese to a certain degree. She's EXTREMELY accident prone and her knife work is downright horrifying so I'd like to keep her away from knives....especially MY knives. I've tried every type of advice and coaching, but it's just not gonna happen before she cuts into her hands....again.
Or should I say to heck with it and get an electric knife and cut slices of cheese for her myself?
