Expert Review and  Insights

The Modena SL195 is a real workhorse for small to medium-sized operations. It's not trying to be the biggest machine on the market; instead, it focuses on doing the fundamentals exceptionally well.

It’s a reliable, no-fuss catering meat slicer machine that just gets the job done.

  • Pro: The integrated sharpener is a fantastic feature at this price point.
  • Con: It's a manual feed, so it's not ideal for very high-volume, continuous slicing.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Rutland Deli, a popular spot in the heart of Oakham, was struggling with an old, unreliable slicer that produced inconsistent results and  was difficult to clean. They needed a dependable machine that could handle a variety of meats and  cheeses for their busy sandwich and  platter service.

"The Modena SL195 has been brilliant. Our slices are perfectly consistent now, whether it's delicate prosciutto or a firm cheddar. It's easy to clean, which is a huge bonus for the team at the end of a long day, and  our prep is so much quicker."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Rutland Deli

After installing the Modena SL195 meat slicer, the deli measured a 15% reduction in food waste from torn or uneven slices and  increased their sandwich output during the peak lunch hour.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a flat, stable, and  non-slip surface for the slicer, ensuring it won't wobble during use.
  • Before first use, thoroughly clean the blade, carriage, and  all food contact surfaces with a food-safe sanitiser.
  • Check that the blade guard and  all safety features are securely in place before plugging the unit in.
  • Familiarise yourself with the thickness adjustment knob and  the on/off switch before handling any food products.

Keeping It Going

  • Always unplug the machine from the wall before starting any cleaning or maintenance.
  • Wipe down the entire unit daily, paying close attention to the blade and  carriage area to prevent food build-up.
  • Use the built-in sharpener regularly (as per manual instructions) to maintain a consistently sharp edge.
  • Never immerse the electrical components in water. Use a damp cloth for cleaning the main body.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Meat Slicer

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right slicer can make a world of difference to your kitchen's efficiency. Here are a few things to consider.

Blade Size Matters

An 8-10 inch blade, like the one on this commercial meat slicer 8 inch model, is perfect for most cafés, pubs and  delis, handling everything from small salamis to medium joints of meat.

Motor Power & Drive

Look for a motor that’s powerful enough for your needs. This gravity-feed model uses weight to help with slicing, making it efficient for moderate use without needing a huge motor.

Safety First

Non-slip feet, a permanent blade guard, and  a safe, easy-to-use on/off switch are non-negotiable features for any professional kitchen environment.

Ease of Cleaning

Smooth, non-porous surfaces like anodized aluminium and  removable parts make daily cleaning quicker and  more effective, ensuring top-notch hygiene.

Built-in Features

An integrated sharpener is a huge time-saver and  ensures your slicer is always performing at its best, providing great value and  consistent results.
