Review of Chefs Choice 615A Meat Slicer

This is an UNBIASED review of the Chef's Choice 615a meat slicer. I paid for this product myself and I have not been sponsored or compensated.

We will show you our results for this Chef's Choice 615a meat slicer as we slice sourdough bread, a baguette, ham, chuck roast, cappicola, and of us slicing cheddar and havarti cheese. You can see how the Chef Slicer 615A does thin slices or thick slices.

This allows me to keep doing these reviews for you.

My husband Roger did this video for me, so show him some love!

FWIW, one thing I'd add to the video is that at least with meats and cheeses, you really do need to slice slowly. Three things can happen if you try to go too fast. First, the gauge plate that the meat rests against will flex, giving you an uneven slice. Second, you could strip the plastic gears out and have to replace them. Not a big deal as they are under $20 from ChefsChoice. Biggest issue though is that you can burn the motor out. In the vid, watch and listen to the part where the sharp cheddar is sliced. You hear the normal whir of the motor before slicing and a bit of a change in pitch when it starts to slice. But listen closely right at the tail end of that slice. You can hear the pitch drop even lower.

The long explanation is that with it being a longer piece of cheese, the motor was working harder to get through the end of the slice. Kind of like an underpowered car going up a hill. The longer it's on the incline, the more it struggles. Same with this slicer.

Hearing that sound once in a while isn't a big issue. However, IF you try to force meat or cheese through and your motor is making that deeper whine the entire time, your going to burn it up pretty quickly. It's not a Berkel or a Hobart. You aren't going to be able to just zip right through a couple of slices of ham per second. Then again, it doesn't cost $1500 or weigh 100lbs. It's a quite capable slicer IF you work within it's limitations and you don't try to push it too hard.

As with the chuck roast cut, good presentation, prior to however, ALWAYS shut down the machine BEFORE picking up presentations . Safety first !
Great review by the way, thanks for sharing and will purchase this slicer .

[Wilburritos]

Excellent. I wanted to make sure this had a long enough swing to fit some pork belly in it and it appears that it does with the ham test. Thanks a million.

Just purchased and seems to work great! Thrilled

"18 instant pots and 14 air friers" im dying. thanks for the review

But how do you clean the blade? I have one. Used it once and realized when I went to clean it that I'd need to clean the grease off the blade and I don't have more grease to apply. Where do you buy new grease, what kind is it. How to you correctly apply it?

[Tri-Cali]

Nice review. I like the different camera angles. Thanks for the upload.

[Bigheadedwon]

This is a great video, thank you for showing so many different meats being sliced. Looking for something to slice sticks of Pepperoni and cheese, this looks like it would work great.

Great video! Helped with me picking out a slicer! Liked and subscribed!

[luigigdelucia]

This always works for me my Mom showed me this trick place your beef in the freeze not to solidify it just enough, you will have to experiment it will save the blade, make the sharpness on blade go further anyway experiment and happy slicing exxelent video God Bless

[garrettgauthier]

I just got mine today! Haven’t taken it out of the box, but I got my from Williams-Sonoma and I believe the straight (non-serated) blade is included when purchased from WS. Thank you for the tutorial!

Out of the slicer video's I've seen NOT ONE of these sliced at #1. Am I the ONLY one that likes paper thin meats that can be stack-able?
How can I tell if ANY of these slicers are capable ?

[MrJusjones]

You can tell the support for the meat is flexing. Will have to rotate meat and cheese every couple of slices for sure. Or end up with a triangle left over.

This is probably the best video I’ve seen! Of course I’m gonna buy it right now. Just can’t decide if I really need the smooth blade. Does it matter if you use food grade gel lubricant or grease? My dog is gonna love getting a bunch healthy chicken jerky! You almost have a Wilfred Brimley tone to your voice!

[DianeGemma]

Great video. I'd love to see a video on how to clean this slicer.

[chasemorantz]

With the chuck roast I wonder if it’s better to cook it first, then refrigerate so it’s firm before slicing. But something I’ve heard is an issue with meat slicers, especially the cheaper ones, is the motor will run very very hot and also meat gets stuck in the slicing area and it stalls

[ML-smzc]

It's such a noisy device ! My God, I can imagine my neighbours reacting at all this noise at 5 or 6 AM for cutting my bread to make toasts ! And the thickness seems to be a big problem also with those devices. I like my ham cut ultrathin and I think those devices couldn't cut that thin.

[marideathydeelz]

That’s fancy. You did a professional job, Mr. Roger. I am heartened by your safety, but as sure that I wouldn’t be. I will have to purchase slices, although none as thin as “your damn near a potato chip.” 😁

[TheRangeControl]

What are the distances of increment between slicing notches?
