The diameter of the blade directly affects the single cutting amount, slicing continuity, and applicable meat morphology, determining slicing efficiency and finished product quality, and is one of the key parameters for selecting a slicer.
1. Direct impact: Single cutting quantity and slicing efficiency
The larger the diameter of the blade, the greater the coverage of its circular motion; Effective cutting area; The larger it is, the more meat can be cut at once, resulting in higher efficiency.
Small diameter blade (15cm, commonly used at home): The effective cutting area is small, and only small pieces of meat can be cut at a time (such as fist sized frozen meat). If the meat is large, it needs to be cut multiple times, which is inefficient and prone to uneven slice thickness.
Large diameter blade (20cm, commonly used in commercial applications): With a large effective cutting area, it can directly cut whole meat rolls and large frozen meat pieces (such as frozen meat bricks weighing more than 5 pounds). A single cutting can complete a large area of slicing, suitable for batch processing, with an efficiency 3-5 times higher than small diameter blades.
2. Indirect effects: slice continuity and flatness
The diameter of the blade will affect the contact between the meat and the blade, thereby affecting the coherence of the slices and the flatness of the finished product.
Small diameter blade: Due to the small cutting area, the contact points between the meat pieces and the blade are concentrated, which can easily cause uneven force on the meat pieces during cutting; Caton” Causing slice breakage or uneven edges, especially when cutting soft fresh meat.
Large diameter blade: When cutting, the contact line with the meat piece is longer, the force is more uniform, and it can form a“ Continuous cutting; The effect. The slicing process is smoother and less likely to get stuck. The edges of the finished meat slices are neater, and the overall flatness is higher, making it suitable for scenes that require beautiful presentation (such as fat beef rolls in hot pot restaurants).
3. Key impact: Applicable meat forms
Different diameters of blades can adapt to different sizes and shapes of meat, which is a point to consider when choosing.
Small diameter blade: only suitable for cutting small pieces of meat, small meat rolls, or semi thawed meat. Unable to cut large chunks of frozen meat bricks, forced cutting can cause excessive blade load, resulting in poor slicing effect and shortened blade life.
Large diameter blade: can adapt to various meat forms, including large frozen meat bricks, whole braised meats (such as braised beef, braised pork elbow), large meat rolls, etc. Especially for completely frozen hard meat bricks, large-diameter blades have more cutting force and can easily handle them, while small-diameter blades are not capable.
