Agreed! Except for the deli slicer. They're evil and want to kill me.
That's your fantasy, not mine.

Funny, I never got hurt on a deli slicer...the lettuce shredder and potato cutter and the deep fryer were my nemeses. And the band saw in shop class...
That's your fantasy, not mine.
Professional grade or not, I often wonder why a slicer is on so many people's wish list. Personally, I see no use for one in a home kitchen.
My father had one. All it did is take up space. He probably used it as much as twice a year.
So, could somebody explain it to me?
Do your friends call you "8 Fingers?"
I'm lucky mine don't!
I already have most of the stuff listed here; deli slicer, mandoline, juicer, deep fryer, etc. I probably could use a double oven stove, but only for holiday cooking. Salamander? I'd rather have a cameleon. They take up just as much room, but you hardly notice them.
That's fine for a commercial application but just not practical for home use.
That's exactly my feeling, DC.
I used one when I was cooking professionally, and recognize it's usefullness in that kind of environment. But I can't imagine it being a benefit in the home kitchen.
In the home kitchen, given the quantities involved, there's not much I can't do with either my knives or mandoline.
But many people do have/want them. So I figure there must be some sort of benefit that I'm missing???
I actually have one from my catering business and I use it at home now all the time.Professional grade or not, I often wonder why a slicer is on so many people's wish list. Personally, I see no use for one in a home kitchen.
