I bought this blade as from everything that I've checked, if I wanted to slice meat/whatever thin without 'tearing' it, this was the blade that I needed for my slicer
Chef's Choice 615 Premium Electric Food Slicer
Which it is the blade I needed and I've used it to slice MULTIPLE products... Okay, lets see if I can remember pretty much everything I've sliced so far using this blade (and that way I can copy this information and paste it onto my slicer review when I do it!). I have sliced two full pork loin's from Sam's Club - which they are roughly... 3' in length?? I semi-froze 1-1/2 of the loins (cut each in half - and cooked 1/2 of one), sliced a couple pieces off to decide what thickness I wanted then went to town slicing them with the original sawtooth blade. I did rotate the meat to try to keep the cutting uniform without having any 'hanging edge' which wasn't really a problem with the semi frozen meat, but figured it wouldn't hurt.
Anyways, for this blade - after breaking down slicer and washing everything and I cooked that 1/2 loin and let it cool down to room temperature (I maybe should have/could have put it in the fridge and let the meat firm up a little but me and the hubby were wanting to eat dinner, darn it!) I moved it to a relatively thin slice to do our own sliced pork sandwiches with bbq sauce and started slicing. About every 5-6 slices I'd rotate the meat as it would develop excess on the bottom where it wasn't being cut - not a big deal. We're talking $150 slicer compared to $400+ to maybe not have it do that? No thanks. I'll save the $250. LOL This blade did real well slicing the cooked pork loin.
So, after the 2 pork loins, I cooked a small roast hubby picked up at Publix, sliced it after it got to room temperature, doing the same as above, worked great. Then got an eye of round roast and something else, cooked both of them (made roast beef using these two roasts) and yep, you guessed it, sliced them up and froze half the meat, and ate on the rest the next few days. Next? Big large summer sausage, sliced half of it along with a big block of Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese for munchies - this blade worked great for all the above. Oh, and I've basically had the slicer and blade for a month - maybe a day or so longer but that's about it. Don't you feel sorry for it? LMAO
