Nesco 150 Watt Professional Electric Food Slicer Review and Giveaway!!!

header

My husband does  a fair share of cooking and recently he started going on about how we should get a food slicer.  We have a large family and so if we make Philly cheese-steaks for instance, it’s a lot of sliced sandwich steak to buy and he felt we could get better cuts of meat, slice it ourselves and actually save money.  Beyond that since our kids always have friends over we could just slice as much as we needed buying large cuts of meat.  Thinking about food slicers, I knew Nesco has some great ones, and since we know the quality that they put in their products, it was a no brainer.  The Nesco 150 Watt Food Slicer was the choice for us.

This is a sleek slicer with professional performance that lets us slice meat, cheese, bread, vegetables and fruit easily.  It is super easy to use, the handy dial easily allows you  to choose the thickness of the slice. We have sliced vegetables for salads on this and I can’t wait to try eggplant for eggplant parmagiana.   We like this model because the motor can handle even heavy tasks like cheese slicing that can create blade drag on slicers with motors of lesser wattage.  My husband is very pleased with the slicer and uses it a lot because it makes prep so easy and everything is fast and simple to clean.  If you are looking for a high quality, powerful food slicer that can meet the demands of family cooking and prep, check out the FS-150 PR, 150 Watt Food Slicer.

Variable thickness control dial selects slices from deli-thin 1/32″ to 1″ thick. Large multipurpose 7 1/2 inch stainless steel blade handles a wide range of food sizes and shapes.

If you expect to slice a lot of cheese, we recommend a motor of 130 watts or more. Cheese can create a lot of blade drag but the FS-150PR slicer’s motor has the power to take it in stride.

Nesco, Snackmaster® Pro Food and Jerky Dehydrator Review & Giveaway!!!

I wish I had this dehydrator when my garden was in full swing this summer because it would have been so helpful to dry herbs, and dehydrate vegetables for use later.  I really can’t wait to try it out on all that this summer.  This dehydrator has 5 drying trays, 2 Clean-A-Screens and 2 Fruit Roll Sheets.  It also includes jerky spices.  This Snackmaster® Pro Food and Jerky dehydrator is one of the newest in the Nesco line and it is sleek and contemporary with 700 watts of drying power to dry food in just hours.  My husband did the testing by following a jerky recipe and using the included spices it was easy and quick and they loved the jerky.  I will be updating with fruit rolls but wanted to get this up since time is flying.  The unit is easy to clean and very lightweight.  I really can’t wait for spring and summer to try drying flowers as well.

Makes delicious Beef Jerky even turkey jerky, and fish jerky. Make trail mix, homemade yogurt, apple snacks, banana chips, dried soup mixes, dried tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, mangoes, papaya and other dried fruits at a fraction of the cost. Make dried herbs and spices; also make potpourri and dried flowers for any occasion.

Features

• Adjustable Thermostat. The adjustable thermostat allows you to dry different foods at proper temperatures (95º-160º F), providing the flexibility to produce the best drying results.
• New-Powerful Top Mounted Fan. Top mounted fan and 700 watts of drying power generate maximum speed and quality for dehydrating fruits, vegetables, and jerky. Helps dry food in hours, not days like other food dehydrators.
• Expandable unit comes with 5 trays, but is expandable to 12 trays with optional Add-A-Trays®.
• Vita-Save® Exterior. Opaque Vita-Save® exterior helps block harmful light which destroys nutritional content of food being dehydrated.
• Patented Converga-Flow® drying system forces air down the exterior pressurized chamber (not through the trays). The hot air is forced horizontally across each individual tray, converging on the core for fast, even and nutritious drying. No flavor mixing and no need to rotate trays.
• This Model Includes:
• 5 Drying Trays
• 2 Clean-A-Screens®
• 2 Fruit Roll Sheets
• Original Jerky Spice
Mommy Ramblings thinks this dehydrator would make a perfect gift this holiday season so we are adding it to our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide!
