Kramer: “I've cut slices so thin, I couldn't even see them.” Elaine: “How'd you know you cut it?” Kramer: “Well, I guess I just assumed.”

I worked in a local restaurant with a similar model. Yeah you can cut a whole lot of things with this. I had to feed the meat myself, the chef told me that most people send themselves to the hospital while they clean the machine. Cleaning the top was easy, but cleaning the bottom was pretty hard because a lot of gunk just hides in crevices here and there.

Having worked in the meat department of a major grocery store chain, I can attest to the quality of Hobart equipment. The slicers we used (we had two) were at least thirty years old, and still worked great! I will stipulate, however, that they can indeed be a bugger to get clean.

The last line should have been, “this deli slicer certainly makes the cut”.

Incase anyone is Wonder, that turkey he is slicing at the beginning is boars head brand. It's pretty good turkey.

The fact that so much of these is made by hand is pretty impressive

I used to think Hobart was the best slicer, until introduced to Bizerba. Solid as a rock and much easier to clean. I built a dedicated cart to make easier work of moving this beast in and out of kitchen. Awesome!

Hobart slicers are very nice. But they cost alot, like most commercial appliances do. For home use, I purchased a 10" BESWOOD slicer and I love it. Quiet and smooth operation, and easy to clean and maintain. Very rigid adjustment on how thick you want your cuts and assembled well. I have many hours on it in the couple years ive had it and its still like new. Comes with its own sharpener as well. 5/5 Just cut a roast for beef sandwiches today, paper thin and excellent. The unit cost about $350-$400 I think? and parts are available if needed. If anybody is in the market for a slicer for home I enjoy this one. Surely there are other nice ones out there, but im just sayin.

Former Hobart service tech here. A better video would be "How deli workers mess up slicers." 1. Drop them while carrying them to the sink. (Lift and clean in place, do not move unit from location). 2. Submerged in the sink. 3. Plugged in while motor case is filled with water after being Submerged in sink. 4. Using spray pan release to lubricate. 5. Using nothing to lubricate. 6. Excessive force with grip causing grip to crash into blade.. 7. Excessive sharpening. 8. Not sharpening. 9. Bones. 10. Lack of training, or lack of listening.

Well... In French we simply call it a "ham slicer". But it can also sometimes be used to cut sausages or even cheese !

If it wasn't for the lack of Storage Space, I would love to have one of these! And then there is the Cost...

Keep in mind that these are commercial grade appliances, hence the significant cost. That said they last forever if you take care of them. We had a pair of them at a grocery store I work at that lasted 10+ years before we replaced them.

In my many years in food service, Hobart slicers have always outperformed any other brands They do cost a premium tho

My time behind a deli counter made it clear right away that the meat used in the video is Boar's Head Ovengold turkey breast. Truly a classic choice.

Imagine having this badboy in your kitchen :D

I recently bought one and it is fantastic

Exactly what I used to cut meats with when i work for Arby's. Right down to the sharpening tool.

I saw one going on it’s own today, had no idea that was a thing, then this popped up.

I worked at a grocery store for a long time and was never allowed to touch the deli slicers. Mostly because boy cutters were to sharp for me.

Thank you

COOL. WHEN YOU ARE DONE PUTTING THAT SLICER TOGETHER. CAN I GET A POUND OF TURKEY AND A HALF POUND OF MILD CHEDDAR. THANKS

I love the science channel

The thumbnail looked like he was slicing his arm😹🙀 💪

The new ones now auto weight the meat and stop slicing and print out the sticker when at the weight its set to stop at, pretty freaking cool!

hello greetings from Indonesia, I always follow this channel. I like the content which is always creative. Good luck always

🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾Love how they show a diversity of workers

I used to work at a deli where one of these would be used. A silly old man who fancied himself a comedian came in one day and attempted to pass a pressed sandwich through the spinning blade to make thin disks from it, but it didn't have the integrity to sustain the forces and it made a mess (both inside the machine and across the walls of the deli). He was still wise cracking and making jokes about "cut that out" and saying the meat slicer "wouldn't cut the mustard" as we ejected him from the deli. Eventually the slicer had to be ditched out and sliced meats were no longer offered. The deli was out of business within the year. All because of a silly old fool who prioritised 'his funnies' over a cracking small business.

The alternate title of this machine is the knuckle slicer based on what I've seen people do with em by accident cleaning em.

Looks like they’re a little slicer happy.

Got an old model from the seventies used, omg they weigh a ton. It still slices like a new one!

Hobart makes fine equipment.

Thanks, now I finally know!

I would like one of these for home use. I’d love this one but it’s probably in the $1000s.

I'm just admiring that the inside and out is nearly all metal.

this is the exact model i have at work

deli slicer lore

Good 👍

Sitting here as an actual deli worker, watching the demonstration like "You can't just pile up shaved product in your hand like that, the customers will have an absolute fit if it isn't neatly stacked or fanned across the paper are you trying to get fired?"

Seinfeld classic never get old great tv show

The problem with them is cleaning them need to make a shroud that you can place over the slicer sealing off the electrical components of course that will utilize high pressure water and heat to clean the slicer then drain etc

Ive been a meat cutter for over 27yrs and one the worse cuts ive had was from doing a end of shift clean up on a slicer

FunFact: KitchenAid originated at Hobart, before being sold off to Whirlpool

I use these at my second job. This outta be good

Almost everything is just assemblies you slap together.

I’ve always wondered who did the voice overs

good info sir,,thanks 👍👍👍👍👍👍✌✌

2:02 I did this to me mams washing that was pegged out on the washing line once... I`ve been promoted to do the dishes now..

Very nice.. I love Hobarts.. there are cheaper models & brands out there for household use, I suggest 10" ¼hp model, can be found for $400-$500USD & are slightly smaller & lighter😉👍

Hobart is definitely the best in the business

If I had to guess. That guys slicing boars head ovengold turkey at the beginning there 😂

Is this the same Hobart that makes welders?

They are a pain in the ass to clean too, especially the cheese one.

This is exactly why I prefer Jersey Mike’s over Subway.

They could have just ditch the drive belt and use rotors to extend the machine lifespan.

That’s a huge motor

Man most of the things made today have a lot of plastic These things are made of complete medal

This was my childhood... I miss this. 😢

Deli slicer lore

Thing is built like a tank

I could use some Genoa Salami about now. 😋

Family order please.

Yea razor sharp 😅 missing the tip of one of my fingers so i can attest that they are deffinately razor sharp funny thing is it didnt hurt just felt like a little burn as if touching the flame guard on a zippo by accident didnt feel anything after that either lol

👍👍

That looks like Boar's head Ovengold Turkey on that slicer. Good meat

I don't understand why they don't build a scale into the slicer. From a workflow point of view, it would be great - it would tell the person at the counter exactly when to stop without having to go back and forth.

I’ve been bitten

Cleans it then puts finger prints on again

guess the produce employees at stop and shop don't know how to use it properly or how to activate the sharpener.

Fucked up my thumb on these damn things.

Cleaning these machines were a pain in the ass.

More of a How it's assembled than How it's made. Lol

oh the puns

This video really has me on edge.

My favorite episode of Seinfeld is when Kramer got a meat slicer it was one one the most memorable scenes of that sitcom.

ive cut my finger twice on one of these while at work 😍

I think this is the only item which robots cannot assemble.

All the plastic parts is disturbing on industrial equipment.

Not that I don't enjoy this and find it fascinating, but what an odd choice for an episode lol

is this a rinsing machine or a filling machine, i'm confused

what is a Deli?

oooohhhhhh ... you know how sharp those blades are... you won't get that skin back ever.

Is it weird that I'd rather just watch meat get sliced than watch the slicer get assembled?

Who the heck is this commentator? Where's Tony Hirst?

whos here 2 in the morning ?

Nice job telling everyone everything about it apart from the cost.

Wheres the metal safety gloves that are required by OSHA law when handling the blade, or cleaning it?????? LOL

KZfaq commenters: this is neat Me: there's no way to safely clean this thing 100%

That first white guy barely new what he was doing when he was slicing that oven gold Turkey. From boars head I think...

That is not boarshead

I swear to god if Subway even thinks about it…

For a second I thought this was huggbees... Damn do I like his content

🔥🔥💝💝💝💖💖💖💖

I no longer wish to live.

How microscope🔬 made

All those plastic parts. Hobart really has fallen from the great company it used to be. Sad.

Last line should have been: This Deli slicer will really help you cut the cheese.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! DELI!!!!!!!!!

For anyone who's interested there is a How It's Actually Made KZfaq channel that is hilarious.

Ce Melkisédec était roi de Salem, et prêtre du Dieu très-haut. Abraham revenait du combat où il avait vaincu les rois. Melkisédec est allé à sa rencontre et il a béni Abraham. Et Abraham lui a donné un dixième de tout ce qu’il avait pris. Le nom de Melkisédec veut dire « roi de justice ». De plus, Melkisédec est roi de Salem, et cela veut dire « roi de paix ». Il n’a pas de père, ni de mère, ni d’ancêtres. On ne parle jamais de sa naissance ni de sa mort. Il ressemble au Fils de Dieu: il reste prêtre pour toujours. Voyez combien Melkisédec est important! Même Abraham, notre ancêtre, lui a donné un dixième de ce qu’il avait gagné dans la bataille. La loi de Moïse commande ceci aux prêtres de la famille de Lévi: ils doivent demander au peuple d’Israël un dixième de tout ce qu’il a. Ils le demandent au peuple, c’est-à-dire à leurs frères, qui sont pourtant de la famille d’Abraham. Or, Melkisédec, lui, n’appartenait pas à la famille de Lévi. Et pourtant, il a reçu d’Abraham un dixième de ce qu’il avait gagné. Et Melkisédec a béni celui qui avait reçu les promesses de Dieu. Sans aucun doute, c’est le plus grand qui bénit le plus petit. Les prêtres qui reçoivent un dixième des biens du peuple, ce sont des hommes qui doivent mourir un jour. Melkisédec aussi a reçu un dixième des biens, mais lui, il est toujours vivant, comme les Livres Saints le disent. Ce sont les fils de la famille de Lévi qui reçoivent un dixième des biens du peuple. Pourtant, on peut dire que Lévi, lui aussi, a payé cet impôt, par l’intermédiaire d’Abraham. En effet, Abraham est son ancêtre. Et d’une certaine façon, Lévi était déjà dans le corps de son ancêtre, quand Abraham a rencontré Melkisédec. Dans la loi du peuple d’Israël, ce sont les fils de la famille de Lévi qu’on doit choisir comme prêtres. Ils sont prêtres à la façon d’Aaron. Mais leur façon d’être prêtres n’était pas parfaite, sinon, pourquoi avoir un autre prêtre, à la façon de Melkisédec? Cela ne serait pas nécessaire. Or, si la façon d’être prêtre n’est plus la même, la loi aussi doit changer. Ces paroles sont dites au sujet de notre Seigneur. Lui, il appartient à une autre tribu, et dans cette tribu, personne ne s’est jamais occupé du service de l’autel. Tout le monde le sait, notre Seigneur est né dans la tribu de Juda. Eh bien, Moïse n’a pas parlé de cette tribu quand il a parlé des prêtres. Voici pourquoi les choses sont encore plus claires: un autre prêtre est venu, et il ressemble à Melkisédec. Il n’est pas prêtre selon une règle et selon des commandements humains. Il est devenu prêtre par la puissance d’une vie qui ne peut pas finir. C’est vrai, les Livres Saints le disent: « Tu es prêtre pour toujours à la façon de Melkisédec. » L’ancienne règle était imparfaite et inutile, alors on l’a supprimée. La loi de Moïse n’a rien produit de parfait. Mais une espérance meilleure nous est donnée, et par elle, nous nous approchons de Dieu. De plus, il y a eu un serment. Les autres sont devenus prêtres sans serment. Mais pour Jésus, Dieu a fait un serment quand il lui a dit: « Le Seigneur a fait ce serment, et il ne reprendra pas sa parole: tu es prêtre pour toujours. » C’est pourquoi, avec Jésus, nous sommes sûrs d’avoir une alliance meilleure. Il y a encore une différence: les autres prêtres ont été très nombreux, parce que la mort les empêchait de rester toujours prêtres. Mais Jésus, lui, vit pour toujours, et jamais personne d’autre ne sera prêtre à sa place. C’est pourquoi il peut sauver pour toujours ceux qui s’approchent de Dieu avec son aide. En effet, Jésus est toujours vivant, il peut donc toujours prier Dieu pour eux. Jésus est le grand-prêtre qu’il nous fallait. Il est saint, innocent et sans faute, il est séparé des pécheurs, et Dieu l’a placé plus haut que tout. Jésus n’est pas comme les autres grands-prêtres. Il n’a pas besoin d’offrir des sacrifices chaque jour, d’abord pour ses péchés à lui, ensuite pour ceux du peuple. Il a fait cela une fois pour toutes en s’offrant lui-même. La loi de Moïse établit comme grands-prêtres des hommes imparfaits. Mais le serment de Dieu, qui vient après la loi, établit comme grand-prêtre le Fils devenu parfait pour toujours.
