We picked it up at a yard sale for a couple of bucks. We've never owned a Slice-O-Matic before, and thought, "Why not give it a go?"
We did.
It wasn't for us.
I don't know how many of you have purchased and/or used a Slice-O-Matic before. Since we were in the "have not" category we took the chance on the food preparation device. I got it out of the box the other day to wash it and check it out.
First, the thing is interesting. It's mostly made of plastic, with a couple of metal springs and metal cutting blades. Other than that, there wasn't much there. They must be making bank making and selling these things. I wonder how it holds up if it were used a lot. My guess would be, not well. I just wanted to see how to clean it. It took a while to disassemble the thing.
Another negative.
In order to get more information about the Slice-O-Matic, I checked out YouTube. There were several videos explaining the pros (mostly...) of the wonderful slicer. They showed happy people successfully using the it and taking it apart to clean it. I also found out while watching the video we were missing one of the blades.
Not good.
In the end, we figured it was more work than it was worth, at least for us. We're not the kind of family where we're constantly slicing and dicing vegetables. For us, it's easier to find a cutting board and a knife and go to work. Too bad the Slice-O-Matic didn't work out. It looks like a great product and perhaps for someone else, it may be...
Just not us.
