Choosing the Right Slicer for Your Operation

We know what slicers can do for commercial foodservice operations. Slicers enable chefs to prepare ingredients with consistent thickness and quality enhancing visual and taste satisfaction that customers can count on every time. Commercial slicers contribute to significant operation speed, efficiency, and labor savings. And, of course, there is the critical aspect of portion control to save on food costs and reduce waste.

So, with all of the slicers offered, how do you choose the right slicer for your menu and operation? First, you can be confident that Globe is a good place to start when considering new slicers for your operation.  Globe offers the widest selection of Best-in-Class slicers, from a 9” economy slicer to a 13” frozen automatic. Quality, performance, and value are hallmarks of Globe equipment, starting with the foundation of their brand: slicers.

Here are three main categories, with manual and automatic versions available. Globe Premium Slicers provide the most power, consistent slicing, ease of cleaning, and operator protection features, ideal for high-volume applications. Globe Medium Duty Slicers with top-notch construction and dependable performance are perfect for moderate use in kitchens. Globe Economy Slicers are a cost-effective way to add light slicing to your operation. Available in 3 sizes, these compact slicers store easily and are ideal for use up to 1 hour per day.

Globe has made choosing the right slicer for your operation easy. Just answer the three questions below, then refer to Globe’s Slicer Selection Guide to identify your perfect slicer.

  1.  How many hours per day will you be slicing? Suppose slicing plays a significant role in your daily operation. In that case, Globe’s premium slicers can withstand constant use and are an ideal choice for their precision slicing, powerful performance, and proven reliability.
  2. Will you be slicing cheese? If so, how much and how often? If slicing cheese is integral to an operation, Globe’s Premium slicers will work well as the slicer does not get bogged down when the cheese makes contact with the knife. The heavy-duty or medium-duty compact slicers will work for medium-duty operations where operators will be slicing cheese on a more limited basis.
  3. Are you working with a lot of frozen food? Products such as frozen meat can be difficult when slicing. Globe’s S-Series Frozen Meat Slicers are designed with a serrated knife to power through frozen meats.

 Here’s a quick glance at Slicer Selection Choices:
