Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pantry, a popular delicatessen in Oakham, was struggling with an old, unreliable slicer. It was difficult to clean and produced inconsistent cuts, which meant more waste and slower service during their busy periods.
"Since we got the Buffalo slicer, our prep time for the charcuterie platters has been cut down significantly. The slices are perfect every single time, which our customers notice, and cleaning it at the end of the day is no longer a dreaded chore. It’s just simple and it works."
David Chen – Owner, The Rutland Pantry
The deli now serves customers up to 25% faster at lunchtime and has seen a noticeable reduction in food waste from poorly sliced product.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Find a flat, stable, and level counter surface with enough space around it for safe operation.
- Before plugging in, give it a quick wipe-down and ensure all safety guards are securely in place.
- Read the manual to familiarise yourself with the thickness adjustment and safety features.
- Plug it into a standard 13-amp socket and you're ready to perform a test slice.
Keeping It Going
- Always unplug the machine before cleaning. Wipe it down with a food-safe sanitiser after every use.
- Perform a weekly deep clean by disassembling the unit as per the instructions – the included blade removal kit is key here.
- Use the integral sharpener lightly and regularly to maintain the blade's edge, rather than waiting for it to get blunt.
- Regularly check that all safety guards and mechanisms are functioning correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kinds of food can this slicer handle?
A: It's primarily designed for cooked and cured boneless meats like ham, turkey, salami, and beef. It can also handle firm cheeses and some firm vegetables.
Q: Is the Buffalo CD277 slicer difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. It's designed for easy cleaning, with an anodized aluminium body and parts that are simple to disassemble, including a blade removal kit for safe, thorough access.
Q: How often should I use the built-in blade sharpener?
A: It's best to use it lightly and briefly as soon as you notice the cutting quality decreasing. Regular, quick sharpening is more effective than infrequent, heavy sharpening.
Q: Can I use this slicer for frozen meat?
A: No, this machine is not designed for slicing frozen or bone-in meat, as this can damage the blade and motor.
Q: How thin can it slice?
A: The adjustable thickness control allows you to go from very thick cuts (around 10-12mm) right down to paper-thin slices, perfect for prosciutto.
Q: Is this a professional meat slicer for butchers?
A: While professional-grade, it's considered a light-to-medium duty model. It's perfect for restaurants and delis, but a high-volume butcher would likely require a larger, heavy-duty machine.

A: Yes, it is supplied with a standard UK 13-amp plug fitted, so you can plug it in and get started straight away.
Q: What is the main body of the slicer made from?

You'll notice this slicer has an 'integral blade sharpener', but what does that actually mean for you? Think of it like this: a dull kitchen knife doesn't slice a tomato, it squashes it. The same is true for a slicer blade. A dull blade will tear and shred expensive meats, leading to poor presentation and wasted product. The built-in sharpener is a simple, safe mechanism that lets you hone the blade's edge in seconds, right there on the machine. It’s like having a professional knife sharpener on call 24/7, ensuring every single slice is clean, precise, and perfect, which saves you money and keeps your food looking its best.
