"Slicer" redirects here. For the visualization and image analysis software package, see 3DSlicer. A meat slicer, also called a deli slicer or simply a slicer, is a tool used in butcher shops and delicatessens to slice meats and cheeses. The first meat slicer was invented by Wilhelm van Berkel in Rotterdam in 1898.[1][2][3] Older models of meat slicer may be operated by crank, while newer ones generally use an electric motor.[4]
More recently, meat slicers have become available in the home market for people wanting to slice their own meats and cheeses.[5]
