<![CDATA[Walton's 10 in vs 12 in slicers]]>Looking at slicers, how much better is the 12 in slicer vs the 10? I will be using to slice bacon and jerky mainly, unless I get in to doing lunchmeat type things, which…who knows, right? Anyways, storage isn’t a huge issue, but would be a slight consideration. What do most people recommend?

Of course I have to actually make bacon before I can slice it.

You will!

Neatly sliced fingers are not nearly as cool as neatly sliced bacon!

A piece of the slicer is missing here.

Hand pushed the last couple of inches through. Just be careful. 😉

The limiting factor on a lot of slicers is not the blade size, its the carriage travel distance. I hear some guys say that is what keeps them from slicing a large item like a slab of bacon.

If the carriage can’t slide far enough along to cut a big item, you aren’t going to get it it sliced no matter how big the blade is.

Sliced the slab of bacon I just did on my 8in… May have cheated a little bit.

The 12” slices so much better and has more depth adjustment if that matters to you. The downside is the physical size and weight. It won’t fit in your kitchen cabinets! You’ll need a place for it and a cover if it’s going to sit out. If you have a place and don’t mind it sitting out, the 12” is the better way to go.

Mine is 70# and at 69yrs old its a pain to move.

When it died we got a 15" and it just seems to cut so much better. But for me once you start getting into those big ticket items, buy once cry once.

I want a 15”Hobart. I used to go by the saying you get what you pay for and spend high dollar on top of the line purchases, that has slapped me in the face with my kitchen remodel

But I couldn’t tell you the difference in the two.
