After making Chicago-style Italian beef this week, I reflected on how
annoying it was to clean all the beef bits out of all the nooks and
crannies of the folding electric slicer. This one is a Toastmaster,
but the one it replaced was also a pain to clean. I like it because it
folds up fairly compactly when not in use, and the circular blade is
protected.
..
Which reminds me how much of a pain it is to clean our salad spinner.
It's a basket in an outer shell, with a perforated lid and then tthe
top lid and crank mechanism. That's a lot of stuff to wash by hand
everytime you make salad, which is usually every day or two around
here, and the pieces take up a lot of room in the dish drainer. And I
worry about crud buildup inside the slots that the water goes through.

Any recommendations for either a slicer or a spinner? The slicer has
to cut a rare beef roast paper thin.

1. A good knife.

2. I know people who "spin" their salad greens in a clean white pillow
case whirled around overhead. It works. I'd rather wash the spinner.

If I could slice it thin enough with a knife, I sure would. Ideally it
would be prosciutto-thin.

and washing a spinner is just rinsing it under running water, so I
fail to understand what's so hard about it. My slicer is a bazillion
years old and doesn't fold, but it's not very hard to clean. What POV
would your expect from someone who thinks it's hard to clean a simple
*salad spinner*?

Sure, if you don't mind black fur on your salad spinner.

I like to use a little thing I call "soap" when I wash something.

Seconded, but I just shake the salad leaves well as I separate and rinse
them. I don't use a salad spinner or a slicer.

I have the Oxo spinner and love it. I have even used the outer shell
as a dishpan after use when I've wanted to soak other items.
..
Usually, tho, I try to wipe it dry and store it immediately after use
- I agree it is a cumbersome object. Best to get it out of the way
asap.

The thing *I* hate to clean is the roasting rack. Greasing it up
beforehand doesn't seem to work. It just has to soak in very hot
water and be scrubbed with a toothbrush shaped wire brush.

Getting the corners or a metal loafpan clean is also a dreaded task.

A knife for slicing and lay a clean towel on the countertop for
blotting veggies.

I use a Scotch-Brite pad for those. I'll soap it up and rub the top of
the bars, then the bottom, then wipe each vertical side as well as the
outer bar.

I have a $4 Walmart salad spinner that totally comes apart - I can't
imagine one that requires more than a rinse in hot water.

How on earth do you get "fur" on anything from washing lettuce? You
must make quite a mess in the kitchen.

Mine is coated, so a good soak and the dishbrush does the trick.

Three pieces, right? Mine too. What's so hard about cleaning a salad
spinner is beyond me.

Mine is four pieces, and the top comes apart into a further four.

But if all you ever do is rinse it, I see where that would be easy.

It's not from lettuce; it's left over from washing and spinning the cat.

Well, it really comes apart if I don't pay attention - the spinner
thingie on top comes out - hence, bottom, inside basket, lid and
spinner. ;-)

You're supposed to do that in the toilet. One flush for a light rinse; two or
more (with the lid down) for a thorough wash.

I've never noticed the top of mine separating. Maybe you have a
newer, fancier model.

I've got a Krups like this one:

http://tinyurl.com/ya2soft

The plate that is parallel to the blade isn't very sturdy. It's ok
for slicing thin beef but it's difficult to cut cheese evenly. I've
had a few of these cheapo plastic folding models and I'd say stay away
from them.

The chefs choice model that goes for 80-100 bucks new on eBay gets
very good reviews. If I were going to get one I'd look further into
that one. Hobart also gets high marks. There's a used one on eBay
for $200. There's a Restaurant & Catering section on eBay. You might
find a deal there.

Not for Chicago style beef.

Mine becomes claustrophobic if I put the lid down; definitely a bad scene.

Our Domino looks very much like Star, and will also sit on shoulders every

Sounds like Lin needs an eye patch and pirate hat. It would make a

I'd personally never want to own a Macaw.
My Goffin's cockatoo is enough of a challenge. <g>

I've had Freya since 1996 and she has never seriously injured me...
altho' I do have a scar on one hand from when I first captured her. She
was a stray. Sorry but I don't consider a small scar to be a "serious"
injury.

But that is a point well taken. Animals are animals and some can be nice
pets, but never without risk. We did wildlife rescue volunteer work for
15 years or so and I still keep a pair of welders gloves on hand. If
nothing else, they make a superior pair of oven gloves.

I think the most dangerous pet I have is my Emu, but the dogs can be
risky too no matter how sweet and tame they may appear to be!

People can be even more dangerous. ;-)

I've never tried to take apart the top of mine. What if I couldn't
get it
put back together?

The bowl and basket, I usually let them drip dry. Occasionally,
I put the bowl and basket in the dishwasher and wipe down the top.
Nothing ever grows on any of it.

Perhaps you should seek professional help.

You have a parrot named after a goddess? Cool. The real Freya likes
hot chocolate. I think it's unlikely yours does.

Mentioning parrots in a thread about stuff that is easy to clean. The
mind boggles at the level of thread drift.

Oh yes she does! Coffee and Tea too. ;-) Altho' I limit her intake as

What's wrong with using tongs and a serrated bread knife for slicing the
