How It's Made: Deli Slicer 

I worked in a local restaurant with a similar model. Yeah you can cut a whole lot of things with this. I had to feed the meat myself, the chef told me that most people send themselves to the hospital while they clean the machine. Cleaning the top was easy, but cleaning the bottom was pretty hard because a lot of gunk just hides in crevices here and there.

Having worked in the meat department of a major grocery store chain, I can attest to the quality of Hobart equipment. The slicers we used (we had two) were at least thirty years old, and still worked great! I will stipulate, however, that they can indeed be a bugger to get clean.

Kramer: “I've cut slices so thin, I couldn't even see them.” Elaine: “How'd you know you cut it?” Kramer: “Well, I guess I just assumed.”

The last line should have been, “this deli slicer certainly makes the cut”.

The fact that so much of these is made by hand is pretty impressive

Incase anyone is Wonder, that turkey he is slicing at the beginning is boars head brand. It's pretty good turkey.

I used to think Hobart was the best slicer, until introduced to Bizerba. Solid as a rock and much easier to clean. I built a dedicated cart to make easier work of moving this beast in and out of kitchen. Awesome!

Hobart slicers are very nice. But they cost alot, like most commercial appliances do. For home use, I purchased a 10" BESWOOD slicer and I love it. Quiet and smooth operation, and easy to clean and maintain. Very rigid adjustment on how thick you want your cuts and assembled well. I have many hours on it in the couple years ive had it and its still like new. Comes with its own sharpener as well. 5/5 Just cut a roast for beef sandwiches today, paper thin and excellent. The unit cost about $350-$400 I think? and parts are available if needed. If anybody is in the market for a slicer for home I enjoy this one. Surely there are other nice ones out there, but im just sayin.

Former Hobart service tech here. A better video would be "How deli workers mess up slicers." 1. Drop them while carrying them to the sink. (Lift and clean in place, do not move unit from location). 2. Submerged in the sink. 3. Plugged in while motor case is filled with water after being Submerged in sink. 4. Using spray pan release to lubricate. 5. Using nothing to lubricate. 6. Excessive force with grip causing grip to crash into blade.. 7. Excessive sharpening. 8. Not sharpening. 9. Bones. 10. Lack of training, or lack of listening.

Keep in mind that these are commercial grade appliances, hence the significant cost. That said they last forever if you take care of them. We had a pair of them at a grocery store I work at that lasted 10+ years before we replaced them.

Well... In French we simply call it a "ham slicer". But it can also sometimes be used to cut sausages or even cheese !

If it wasn't for the lack of Storage Space, I would love to have one of these! And then there is the Cost...

Imagine having this badboy in your kitchen :D

In my many years in food service, Hobart slicers have always outperformed any other brands They do cost a premium tho

I worked at a grocery store for a long time and was never allowed to touch the deli slicers. Mostly because boy cutters were to sharp for me.

I recently bought one and it is fantastic

My time behind a deli counter made it clear right away that the meat used in the video is Boar's Head Ovengold turkey breast. Truly a classic choice.

I saw one going on it’s own today, had no idea that was a thing, then this popped up.

Exactly what I used to cut meats with when i work for Arby's. Right down to the sharpening tool.

hello greetings from Indonesia, I always follow this channel. I like the content which is always creative. Good luck always

Thank you

The new ones now auto weight the meat and stop slicing and print out the sticker when at the weight its set to stop at, pretty freaking cool!

The alternate title of this machine is the knuckle slicer based on what I've seen people do with em by accident cleaning em.

COOL. WHEN YOU ARE DONE PUTTING THAT SLICER TOGETHER. CAN I GET A POUND OF TURKEY AND A HALF POUND OF MILD CHEDDAR. THANKS

I love the science channel

The thumbnail looked like he was slicing his arm😹🙀 💪

I would like one of these for home use. I’d love this one but it’s probably in the $1000s.

Got an old model from the seventies used, omg they weigh a ton. It still slices like a new one!

Looks like they’re a little slicer happy.

Sitting here as an actual deli worker, watching the demonstration like "You can't just pile up shaved product in your hand like that, the customers will have an absolute fit if it isn't neatly stacked or fanned across the paper are you trying to get fired?"

I'm just admiring that the inside and out is nearly all metal.

Thanks, now I finally know!

this is the exact model i have at work

Hobart makes fine equipment.

Good 👍

🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Love how they show a diversity of workers

deli slicer lore

I used to work at a deli where one of these would be used. A silly old man who fancied himself a comedian came in one day and attempted to pass a pressed sandwich through the spinning blade to make thin disks from it, but it didn't have the integrity to sustain the forces and it made a mess (both inside the machine and across the walls of the deli). He was still wise cracking and making jokes about "cut that out" and saying the meat slicer "wouldn't cut the mustard" as we ejected him from the deli. Eventually the slicer had to be ditched out and sliced meats were no longer offered. The deli was out of business within the year. All because of a silly old fool who prioritised 'his funnies' over a cracking small business.

2:02 I did this to me mams washing that was pegged out on the washing line once... I`ve been promoted to do the dishes now..

If I had to guess. That guys slicing boars head ovengold turkey at the beginning there 😂

I’ve always wondered who did the voice overs

Almost everything is just assemblies you slap together.

I use these at my second job. This outta be good

Ive been a meat cutter for over 27yrs and one the worse cuts ive had was from doing a end of shift clean up on a slicer

Hobart is definitely the best in the business

Seinfeld classic never get old great tv show

The problem with them is cleaning them need to make a shroud that you can place over the slicer sealing off the electrical components of course that will utilize high pressure water and heat to clean the slicer then drain etc

good info sir,,thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌

Very nice.. I love Hobarts.. there are cheaper models & brands out there for household use, I suggest 10" ¼hp model, can be found for $400-$500USD & are slightly smaller & lighter😉👍

FunFact: KitchenAid originated at Hobart, before being sold off to Whirlpool

Is this the same Hobart that makes welders?

That’s a huge motor

Deli slicer lore

They are a pain in the ass to clean too, especially the cheese one.

Thing is built like a tank

They could have just ditch the drive belt and use rotors to extend the machine lifespan.

I’ve been bitten

I could use some Genoa Salami about now. 😋

This is exactly why I prefer Jersey Mike’s over Subway.

This was my childhood... I miss this. 😢

Is it weird that I'd rather just watch meat get sliced than watch the slicer get assembled?

👍👍

Man most of the things made today have a lot of plastic These things are made of complete medal

Family order please.

Cleans it then puts finger prints on again

Yea razor sharp 😅 missing the tip of one of my fingers so i can attest that they are deffinately razor sharp funny thing is it didnt hurt just felt like a little burn as if touching the flame guard on a zippo by accident didnt feel anything after that either lol

That looks like Boar's head Ovengold Turkey on that slicer. Good meat

Fucked up my thumb on these damn things.

guess the produce employees at stop and shop don't know how to use it properly or how to activate the sharpener.

I don't understand why they don't build a scale into the slicer. From a workflow point of view, it would be great - it would tell the person at the counter exactly when to stop without having to go back and forth.

oh the puns

More of a How it's assembled than How it's made. Lol

ive cut my finger twice on one of these while at work 😍

Cleaning these machines were a pain in the ass.

All the plastic parts is disturbing on industrial equipment.

I think this is the only item which robots cannot assemble.

This video really has me on edge.

Who the heck is this commentator? Where's Tony Hirst?

Not that I don't enjoy this and find it fascinating, but what an odd choice for an episode lol

whos here 2 in the morning ?

oooohhhhhh ... you know how sharp those blades are... you won't get that skin back ever.

is this a rinsing machine or a filling machine, i'm confused

what is a Deli?

My favorite episode of Seinfeld is when Kramer got a meat slicer it was one one the most memorable scenes of that sitcom.

Wheres the metal safety gloves that are required by OSHA law when handling the blade, or cleaning it?????? LOL

I swear to god if Subway even thinks about it…

RU-vid commenters: this is neat Me: there's no way to safely clean this thing 100%

I no longer wish to live.

That is not boarshead

🔥🔥💝💝💝💖💖💖💖

Nice job telling everyone everything about it apart from the cost.

For a second I thought this was huggbees... Damn do I like his content

That first white guy barely new what he was doing when he was slicing that oven gold Turkey. From boars head I think...

How microscope🔬 made

All those plastic parts. Hobart really has fallen from the great company it used to be. Sad.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! DELI!!!!!!!!!

Last line should have been: This Deli slicer will really help you cut the cheese.

👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲💯💯

What am I doing with my life
