  • Pros: The integrated sharpener is brilliant for maintaining a perfect edge without any fuss.
  • Cons: It’s best for light-to-medium duty; not ideal for constant, high-volume slicing.

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.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Slicer

Not sure which meat slicer is right for your kitchen? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Blade Size Matters

A 220mm blade like this one is perfect for small to medium cuts of meat and  deli items. If you plan on slicing very large joints of beef, you might need to look at a larger 250mm or 300mm model.

Power and  Duty Cycle

Consider how often you'll use it. This 120W model is ideal for light-to-medium duty—perfect for cafes and  small restaurants. A high-volume butcher or deli might need a more powerful, heavy-duty machine.

Safety First

Never compromise on safety. Look for essential features like a blade guard, a hand guard on the carriage, and  non-slip feet. The Buffalo CD277 includes all of these as standard.

Ease of Cleaning

Hygiene is paramount. A slicer that's easy to take apart for cleaning will save you time and  hassle. Anodized aluminium is a great material as it’s non-porous and  resists corrosion.

Counter Space

Measure your available space! A commercial slicer has a significant footprint, so check the dimensions (H x W x D) to ensure it will fit comfortably and  safely in your prep area.

Always Sharp, Always Precise: The Built-In Blade Sharpener Explained

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.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Small Restaurants & Bistros: Ideal for prepping cooked meats for main courses, ensuring perfect portion control and  presentation every single time.
  • Busy Cafés & Sandwich Bars: A must-have for slicing ham, turkey, and  pastrami quickly and  consistently for your lunchtime rush.
  • Local Delicatessens: The perfect entry-level deli meat slicer 220mm for offering freshly sliced charcuterie, cheese, and  continental meats to customers.
  • Pubs & Inns: Fantastic for preparing meats for classic ploughman's lunches, Sunday roast platters, and  bar snacks with minimal effort.
