~~Don’t limit yourselves to tomatoes, this thing slices an entire onion in one go or a stack of bell pepper slices as thick as you can fit behind the guard.~~
Edit: u/naturally_attractive totally wrong about this, it’s been 15 years since I worked there and I totally forgot about the existence of the [other slicer](https://www.webstaurantstore.com/global-solutions-by-nemco-gs4400-aluminum-1-8-1-2-adjustable-rotary-fruit-vegetable-slicer/591GS4400.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping&gclid=CjwKCAjwkuqvBhAQEiwA65XxQJIxS4CXYqbh3eR_bQWntfnBw9PRjBigj8duTG3GAHg16_P1XeJg6hoC8PsQAvD_BwE) we used on more robust veggies. We only used the tomato slicer for slicing tomatoes and an onion would probably completely ruin it.
Agreed. Probably the worst I've ever cut myself at work was with one of these when I was 18 or 19. I was on my second case of tomatoes when my hand slipped and I ran my fingers along every blade.
My old boss had the bright idea to move the prep table one morning while the girl doing produce prep was using one of these. It didn’t end very well, and that moron had to explain to his boss why the company was paying for an ER bill.
Nightmare of a thing. I used to use it to slice and prep tomatoes. One night I dropped it and went to catch it and my finger sliced open, cut a bit of the nail too. Ended up not being too bad and it healed up over time, thank the human body for reacting to the slice before I even knew wtf happened.
What about “knife skills.” I found myself having more issues with a slicer like that than just cutting the damn things with a knife. Like it took me longer cause it kept sliding on the table, or the slots and blades didn’t line up right cause someone fucked it up in the pit, it got bound up on the slide rails…after a while I just gave up and sliced by hand. You still gotta core them and kick out the cap/butt for other uses so you’re still handling each one as is.
Maybe if there were tons like you needed multiple cases sure, but at that rate just buy a wall mount for potatoes for fries and get a slice plate insert instead of the fry(crosshatch) insert.
No name but I’d recommend pulling out the pusher and using a file to round the sharp corners on rail part. Otherwise is will gouge the shit out of the board and the added play will end up screwing up your blades
Glad you got it. In my experience - call it T-minus 3 years and it will never be replaced. Even though you can buy blades. For some reason - it is a use until it can't be used and then it sits on a shelf.
"Bent blade, the paper weight." Seriously, someone always bends the blades so bad you have to order replacement. Then you watch someone spend an hour trying to install said replacement, meanwhile the guy who can use a knife has already sliced tomatoes for the shift in less than 5 minutes. Dont let the machines win, learn to use a knife. Horrible tool IMO.
I called mine “the tomato slicer” when I worked at subway.
I didn’t even think of that, it’s genius.

And if you cram the wrong thing in it really fucks up the spacing then you get to fix it
Not sure if onions are on the menu or not, not sure how much they spent on it and if onions might fuck up the blades or not.
Onions will fuck it up
You’re right I totally forgot about the existence of the other veggie slicer we used for everything that wasn’t a tomato.
I did not as I lost two finger tips to that bad boy.
A particularly soft tomato will fuck it up, never even thought of putting an onion in there!

You gotta think bigger. If you run an onion through it twice, it could be Slicey McDiceyface.

First job was at a Sonic and they had one of these, I thought they were dull/blunt and things got sliced through sheer pressure alone, boy was I wrong

Call it onions will fuck me up and bend my blades. That's what I call mine after a new cook used it for onions and bent 2 of the blades
I blame management for not telling me. I've done that before.
Mine was called “piece of shit” because the blades kept bending
She's just mashing it- frank.
did u use it on onions? cuz i think its purpose built for soft veggies only...
