food slicer

also called deli slicer · meat slicer

A food-preparation appliance that cuts food into even slices by passing it on a sliding carriage against a powered rotating circular blade, the cut thickness set by an adjustable gauge. Beyond any food-prep appliance's speed control it answers its slice-thickness range — the primary axis a buyer chooses on — plus its blade diameter and blade edge (smooth for meat and cheese, serrated for bread). Distinct from a food processor (cutting discs in a bowl, fixed thicknesses), an electric knife (a freehand reciprocating blade with no thickness gauge) and a grinder (which reduces to particles, not slices). A POWERED rotary slicer used on bread is a food slicer with a serrated blade (a value of blade_edge); a non-powered slotted bread-slicing guide is a different, unpowered kitchen tool, not a member here.
