1/4" Tomato Slicer

Whether you serve hamburger, subs, or salads, a tomato slicer is an essential tool for your kitchen.
Hi, I am Steve Ziegler, product expert at the webstaurantstore.
Today I am going to be demonstrating the use and care of the Nemco Easy Tomato Slicer, but first I wanted to mention, that if you are looking are looking for a value priced unit, we have this imported tomato slicer that's great for light to medium applications. This is a great unit at a low price. Most of what I am going to tell you about the Nemco slicer will apply to this unit, as well. The biggest difference is that this is NOT an NSF unit, while the Nemco Easy Slicer is an NSF model. If you're looking for a heavy duty tomato slicer, there is also the Nemco Easy Slicer 2 that you can take a look at, as well.
But first, let's take a closer look at the Nemco Easy Tomato slicer. The first thing you notice that this unit has a very small footprint, only 8” wide and 15” long. Its compact, and very portable. The heavy rubber feet and the table stop will prevent this slicer from moving around while we work.
To operate, we're going to move this pusher back towards me, and take our tomato, with the core removed, and place it on the board. I'm going to put my left hand on top of the blade holder, and with my right hand I'm going to grab this handle. Now let's see why they call this the EASY TOMATO SLICER. Isn’t that easy? We have 3/16” or the slightly thicker ¼” slice styles available. They are not interchangeable, though. If for some reason you need two different thicknesses of tomato, you will have to buy two. Lets do a few more and see how fast we can fill up this prep table pan. You can use larger tomatoes, you can use tiny tomatoes. All different types and sizes will go right through this unit. And there you have it…if you have been using a knife all of this time, you can now see how much time you’ve been wasting.
The other question that we often get is how to replace the blades. Although these blades are long lasting, they do dull over time. At the WEBstaurantStore, we make it easy for you, by having the correct blade set listed with each slicer that we sell. It’s always a good idea to have a spare set of blades, so if you should order a slicer, order an extra set. If you click on the Easy Slicer blades, you will be able to view a video that shows you how to replace the blades.
