Jacaard. Get the most blades you can, I think there is a 45 blade unit.

What Steven said. I have this 48 blade from Amazon that is their Best Seller that I have had for 2 or 3 years now.What you need to realize though for sanitary reasons you need to knock it apart and clean it well after every use. this model has 3 bolts to remove. With practice I can disassemble and reassemble in about 2 minutes time...but the cleaning after knocked apart is the time consuming part!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

BTW here is a neat little trick...When the bolts start to come out then the two strong springs which are hidden inside the posts will cause the unit to explode sending pieces and parts flying! Find a pice of something 1/8" thick such as my wooden ruler and place it so the bottom guide rests on it. Then even with the 3 bolts removed it stays in tack and you can then easily finish the disassembly.Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Ok, I was off by three blades...sue me. I just put it in the dishwasher after I use it. Does that make me a bad person?

I bought the same per Ron's recommendation, very happy with it. I don't disassemble either but clean the meat crumbs off the tips with a toothbrush before throwing it in the d/w.canuckland

Yeah, Ron can be persuasive!
I ordered one after looking at his post.

So how many of you use this? If you had a nice prime rib eye would you use this? Pork chop? Brisket? Strip loin?In the bush just East of Cambridge,Ontario

Do you have to cook beef to 160 after using it?Nowhere Indiana

GlennM said:So how many of you use this? If you had a nice prime rib eye would you use this? Pork chop? Brisket? Strip loin?Primary uses are for cutlets, pork and chicken schnitzels, chicken breasts and the odd pork loin chop. Never on brisket or pork shoulder, just not needed. Round steaks used for braising also get the treatment. If you trust the source of the meat, go crazy.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

I agree with Skiddymarker. Once and ONLY once I ruined a beautiful prime rib. Never again! I swear after I cut it open you would have thought it was meat loaf! Yes it was very tender, but the texture was a real turn off! My most frequent uses are with Sirloin as steaks and chicken breasts made into kick butt sandwiches!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Good point on bacteria being punched thru requiring temp 160...didn't think of that. I cook my skirt steak for fajitas mediumish to keep moist...that would be an issue.LBGE 4/2012, MBGE 6/2012 & Mini 11/2013Rome, GA
