Slicer (slicer)

In general, there was no sadness - the slicer was impatient,

yes ... how that will itch ... there is no salvation, except for the acquisition, and, moreover, quickly!

[Accomplishment]

AccomplishmentBy the way, your model is also recommended on Italian forums to those who do not want to aim at a professional slicer. That is, apparently, it is good.

For slicing ham once or twice a year)))

Well yes. Italian ham - Italian slicer)). But you can't cut it in any other way. I tried everything: both sharp knives, and freezing it - all the garbage turns out and the translation of your favorite product. So why do I need this annual stress?
I have quite a lot of all kinds of kitchen utensils, but not a single one is irreplaceable: a multicooker can be replaced with a stove, a pizza maker and an air grill - with an oven, a mixer - with a whisk, etc. In this sense, a slicer is irreplaceable, and therefore necessary in my household.



I was already ready to order from Amazon today, if not for the delivery cost, equal to the price of the device

Now I have done a rather strange thing - I ordered a slicer from the Italian Amazon to Brussels, to the address of the hotel (I am going there on a business trip for three days). Delivery is about 10 euros, the total cost is 12800, this model is

🔗

I looked for it in Moscow - they say that this model is not carried at all, since it is too small for catering, but expensive for a house, we consider it professional. Super reviews.
I have such tickets that I go there without luggage, and back with luggage, so I'll put a slicer in my luggage
Well, if they get through to me, they can explain to me, they will deliver on time ... In addition, if suddenly there is a marriage, and I can’t figure it out right away, I can’t return and replace it. In general, the risk is from all sides. I would take it here, albeit a little more expensive, but it is not.

Sibelis, Natasha, yes, there are many risks, but WHAT (!) a slicer!
And they themselves cannot call and find out, specify the delivery date? Natasha, I can't tell you anything about a possible marriage and the need to return - I don't know. Often this store is used by our Doplet Larisa, contact, maybe she will advise something sensible.

maybe she will advise something sensible

What can you advise here? Earlier, when I bought through intermediaries with delivery to St. Petersburg, I also risked! And I also bought expensive things - a multi, a Cobb grill, a smokehouse, etc. But I wouldn't check it in Natasha's place if she had the opportunity to take it to the salon. At least this can reduce the risk.

[dopleta]

dopleta, it seems that a slicer is not allowed in the salon. And then, there will also be some kind of carry-on luggage, such as a backpack or a small suitcase.
I am only worried that they will break the deadline and will not meet these three days. And they will call in French



Ilmirushka, they seem to have designated the date within three days, plus I indicated in the commentary to the order the specific three days that I will be in Brussels. Let's see how well everything is organized.
And the slicer is wonderful, yes!

it seems like a slicer is not allowed in the salon

Have you figured it out? I have brought multicooker and a bread maker more than once. True, there are no sharp knives ...

[dopleta]

dopleta, yes, that's it because of the knife. Well, her dimensions are 47x32x33

So it is possible, if the knife is removable, to take it off in the luggage. And the rest - with you! Still, there will be less risk.

[Sibelis]

I am only worried that they will break the deadline and will not meet these three days. And they will call in French

Sibelis, Natasha, they won't call in French. If the Amazon is Italian, then their main language is Italian. Do you speak English, write?

The fact is that there is a "HELP" section for orders on any Amazon. And in this section there is a line "write us an email in English". So, I would do it (write an email, explain everything) and wait for a response from them - they answer quickly, within 24 hours.

If you need help, then write in a personal

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, no, I do not speak English, I know exactly what Italian. But the local courier will call, and in Belgium it is in French, and even in Dutch

three days that I will be in Brussels

Natasha! Can I help you somehow? Please, do not hesitate!

So it is possible, if the knife is removable, to remove it in the luggage.

In this case, only this knife will be checked in my luggage.

I arrived in Brussels at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and they tried to deliver the slicer in the morning. It seems that they did not even bother to go into the hotel and ask, since there is no notification either. Now I'm racking my brains how to find my slicer in Brussels: a letter from Amazon says that the courier's contacts are in the notification

[Sibelis]

Sibelis, Natasha, you can order a call back through the "HELP" section on Amazon. You speak italian

[Svetlenki]

While walking down the street, I saw similar slicers several times in shop windows)). Here they seem to be popular: I have never seen them in Moscow at all, not once. Only in sausage shops.



Svetlenki, So. I'm going to try now.



Although this is probably useless: I think they will tell me to call the bpost courier service, which delivered. And there only in French, German and Flemish ...

[Sibelis]

Sibelis, Natasha,

and already tried to deliver the slicer in the morning.

here it is yeah !!! but why didn't they leave the parcel at the reception? they promised to keep it there ...

german

aha! here on it all the postal workers speak
Natasha, if you need help, please contact!

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, Vika, I have already scribbled a bunch of messages to you in a personal and on whatsapp (but for some reason it does not go there)
Help is very necessary, I was somehow at a loss. Amazon does not call back Russian numbers ((.



The letter says that please contact the address indicated in the notification or, if there is no notification, then go to the page where the contacts of the delivery services are listed. There I found the phone number of this very Bpost, and the notes indicate that they speak French, German and Flemish. I also have a track number that is 24 digits long. It seems that Bpost is included in EMS, I tried to enter the track on the EMS tracking page in Belgium, but the format does not work.

well then I'm waiting in the PM

While walking down the street, I saw similar slicers several times in shop windows)).

Alternatively, maybe you should give up the slicer on Amazon and buy it in the store? Amazon usually has no problem with refunds.

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalal, no, here is another brand. I very carefully chose that company, having read 1600 responses to it Purely Italian, and the production itself in Italy. And these are China. And the store is more expensive anyway.

[Sibelis]

Sibelis, Natasha, good luck then ! Let everything work out, quickly and simply.

[Mirabel]

Girls, I took her!




Without Wiki's help Mirabel nothing at all would have worked!
Long live the solidarity of bakers!

[Sibelis]

Girls, I took her!

AAAA! Hooray! Everything worked out!
Sibelis, Natasha, well, how did you communicate with them there, how did you find it after they had already brought her to the hotel?

Now it remains to carry it to Moscow: it is not heavy, but terribly inconvenient to carry. And the box is rather flimsy, I don't even know how to check it in.
And, of course, to hope that everything works - I, of course, did not check it. It looks like a new one)).

[Sibelis]

And the box is rather flimsy, I don't even know how to check it in.

Sibelis, Natasha, but you can't wrap it with a wide skoch? After all, check-pilots ...

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, it was Vika Mirabel who found them, I was terribly dumb
She found me the address, explained how to get there and wrote the text in French. I showed it to the peasant in the window, and voila, he was carrying my slicer. They packed it in a huge box, bigger than me, the man carries and laughs



Ilmirushka, I'm going to wrap it up, I'm just afraid that they will force me to open it, and all my packaging was crying. I also want to stuff things there so that the slicer does not hang around the box - but there is a lot of space, I don't have so many things)).

I need to buy some chocolate here, or something. True, chocolate is not the best shock absorber

It is good when everything is good!

That's for sure! She, by the way, is quite miniature, does not look bulky at all. For home the most it! I will take a picture of the unpacked already at home, there are all sorts of polystyrene, I don't want to take it out.
By the way, as I understand it, she has already survived one flight, and she was probably delivered from Italy by plane, in one day.

[Sibelis]

I’m going to wrap it with a rope, but I’m afraid that they will force me to open it, and all my packaging was crying.

Sibelis, Natasha, then symbolically glue it to the airport with two strips, they will cut it and check it, and you skoch with you and immediately twist everything thoroughly. I have seen such a picture many times at the airport. And what to cram ... Think, Natasha, think

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, yeah, there is something to think about




People, I'm so glad, so glad! That's what the idiot's dream come true
Already the weather improved, it was cool and foggy in the morning, and now it's hot and the sun is shining!))

Natasha, when I flew from Germany with fragile luggage, I just handed over the box packed (probably more scotch tape to make the box stronger). And be sure to make sure that the inscription is made on the box, which is fragile. But it can only be so in that airline.

[Oksana1999]

Oksana1999, yes, I will try to achieve something to indicate that it is fragile. I'm flying with KLM.

Hello everyone! I report: the slicer flew safely and works great
Tested on hard salami and Parma ham. Cuts transparently.
Immediately the question is: how to wash it?

Natasha, congratulations!
Vika is great!
Wash - according to the instructions? Does she suggest that?

[Sibelis]

the slicer flew safely and works great

Well, thank God! I was waiting for a message.

Immediately the question is: how to wash it?

Sibelis, Natasha, well, the knife should definitely be removed, and everything else ... with sponges-rags

[Sibelis]

Sibelis, Natasha, Well, thank God! We got to the house successfully and the purchase pleases!
Girls! I also have a question - I didn't have time to buy Bosch Siemens and disappeared somewhere. It is very uncomfortable?

Better when you don't need to hold the button. I have a Ritter E16 so the button in it has 2 positions - for long and short cutting. When cutting for a long time, the button does not need to be held down. And what I like - Full metal slicer with tilting table
Silver metallic
Wavy knife, Ø 17 cm
Cutting thickness adjustment up to 20 mm
Switch for short-time / continuous operation
Removable transport skids
Transport slide travel approx. 18 cm
Slicing tray
Cable storage compartment, made in Germany.

[Marpl]

MarplI think knife 17 is not enough. My 19.5, and I understand that 25 would cut better, more evenly. Not because the piece doesn't fit, it's just that the arc bends too much.

Well, I don’t know, I’m enough and I don’t need more. With a large diameter, they are mainly used in stores (cutting a ham on the leg). At home, I cut the largest loaf of bread from HP Panasonic, and the rest is smaller and smaller.

[Marpl]

Marpl, I can't say anything about bread, I have a smooth knife, and this slicer is not intended for bread.But I read about this on the forums and was convinced myself: for example, when cutting 1/4 of a pork leg, extra centimeters would not hurt. Because of these 19.5, about one third goes to the technical zone, which does not cut - this is the rounding at the top and bottom.
No, everything is cut perfectly, I just see that with a larger diameter, that is, with a smaller curvature of the arc, the cutting would be more stable. I am writing this for those who will choose a slicer: size matters.
But I do not regret my choice, since the one that is 25 cm, I simply would not have taken



Accomplishment, I’m even scared to think how I’ll take this knife off - I’ll be left without hands. The instruction suggests doing this with anti-cut gloves - damn it, what is it and where to get them?



Mirabel, and with it. Amazon RGV order, how did I do? This Italian company makes very high quality slicers, and they have models of different prices.

[Sibelis]

I’m even scared to think how I’ll take this knife off - I’ll be left without hands. The instruction suggests doing this with anti-cut gloves - damn it, what is this and where to get them?

Sibelis, Natasha, I do not know the design of your slicer, about mine I will say that the knife is removed with one easy movement. If you are afraid to touch it, it is not required when removing it. And about anti-cut gloves ... order kevlar gloves from Aliexpress and you will be happy! There were a lot of discussions on the topic of kitchen stuff about them. Many people use it. My husband did not believe ... and then he took one for himself, one lives in my kitchen.

I had a wavy knife in the kit, for everyday needs. And for thin slicing of ham, raw smoked sausage and meat I bought a separate smooth knife. It is removed, of course, not in one motion, but nothing complicated. Just do everything carefully and do not rush and not be distracted, then you will not cut yourself. We wash kitchen knives with handles, and here too.

but you have to keep the button in the process. It is very uncomfortable?

It doesn't bother me to hold the button, although I haven't tried it otherwise

[Marpl]

I'm even scared to think about how I will take this knife off

I don’t need it at all, I’m afraid of the Berner grater like fire. Well, I would like to be cheaper and foldable. This is a prerequisite!

It doesn't bother me to hold the button

Light, we have our little Domo appeared and praise them. but I can't figure out how the button is there.
Marpl, Marina, cool you! but I need folding.

Vika, there is a folding model for 3590 rubles - RITTER MARKANT SCREW CUTTER 01 KU

[Marpl]

Marpl, Marina, Thank you! I went to look!

there is a folding model for 3590 rubles - RITTER MARKANT SCREW CUTTER

my BOSHik also folds and stands on the window, like a book

The instruction suggests doing this with anti-cut gloves - damn it, what is it and where to get it?

Natasha, kevlar gloves in Moscow for only 400 rubles:

"my BOSHik also folds and stands on the window, like a book"

I can't say anything about Ritter, but we have a folding BOSCH. Not very happy.
The design is not rigid and therefore independently changes the thickness of the cut when used on almost every slice in the direction of increase. Almost idle. One advantage is compactness.
There was an idea to buy a non-folding one, but taking into account the frequency of use and the need for space, I refused.
