Seattle Ultrasonics: Ultrasonic Chef's Knife

my new favorite kitchen gadget is small deli slicer, $75 on amazon.

minor pain to clean, but MUCH faster than a knife, totally safe (pusher keeps fingers away from the blade) and you get precise thickness cuts every time, which means they cook precisely too.

Especially good for vegetables like potatoes, onion, eggplant, etc.

Is it worth the cleaning hassle? I often avoid using a mandolin or food processor just because cleaning my knife is so much easier.

for firm things its fine, clean the moment the work is done and it shouldn't be much effort, and having nice consistent slices feels good too

For anything other than ideally firm things, the cleanup can be a nightmare

I did this too! I love being able to buy a large chunk of deli meat and slice off what I need at whatever width I want.

Home cook deli slicers are the most slept on, underrated pantry upgrade.
