Overview

Slicing deli meat, cheese, bread and vegetables at home is the job of the NESCO FS-300, which glides food on a carriage across a non-serrated stainless steel blade driven by a DC motor. A thickness knob sets each cut, and a food guide holds food steady and shields the hand.

Skipping the deli counter is the point here, with a thickness range from deli thin to thick slices and a carriage that accepts large cuts of meat. Cleanup takes some effort because nothing goes in the dishwasher, though the carriage and blade both come off.

Who it's for

Cooks who buy whole roasts, cheese blocks or loaves to slice at home get a counter slicer with a removable blade and carriage. Anyone slicing a few tomatoes a week or wanting dishwasher parts should skip it.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fine thickness control by knob
  • Non-serrated blade for clean cuts
  • Carriage and blade remove for cleaning
  • Recessed switch prevents accidental starts
Cons
  • Wattage not listed
  • Hand wash only, including the blade
  • Heavy to move in and out of storage
  • Large counter footprint

Performance notes

Slice consistency comes from the thickness knob setting the gap and from steady carriage travel along the glide bar. A non-serrated edge cuts cleanly through meat and cheese, while crusty bread responds better to light pressure and a slow pass. The DC motor drives the blade, and the listing describes it as quiet.
