I love the design aesthetic of old Krups machines.

What does the Krups do?
Big-Contribution-676 t1_iqm6nse wrote
I think the Krups in the 4th pic is the back side of the slicer.... confusing perspective

Is 'Cuisinat' a knock off, a model name, or precursor to Cuisinart?

Meat slicer. Have one in white.
bigeats1 t1_iqm9bkc wrote
Correct. Back of machine.

I think it says Cuisimat with an M. As in cuisine-automat.
Windholm t1_iqmius9 wrote
It's actually "Cuisimat," and I think it's French for "kitchen," so probably a European brand?
Edit: Never mind. (Always double-check Google translations! :)

I love those backsplash tiles, ngl. It'd be hard to find that style nowadays.
The meat slicer looks really cool too.

Same. I was the only one with the patience to use it and then fully clean it.

We had the Krups bread slicer in use (obviously inherited from my grandparents). Unfortunately broke about a year ago: plastic part in the "drive train", no repair possible... However it lasted a very long time, taking into account that we are a family of 5 now and it sliced a lot of bread...

Uh, not sure if this is really the intended (or main) use-case, but it may well double up as one.
Usually, it’s used to slice bread.
Source: my parents used to own that exact one as well.

Back in the day I rented a pink tiled bathroom and 70s wall paper.

I have a friend who is a musician - she has a 1950s stove and her kitchen looks like it came out of an episode of I love Lucy. She would love this stuff.
foospork t1_iqn5cni wrote
I still do. I think I bought it in 1987 or so. It’s a pain to clean. I only use it when I want to ensure a large number of thin, uniform slices.
Also, the tendency of the blade to not get to the bottom of whatever it is that you’re cutting is annoying. You have to keep flipping the food over, unless you want this big flap of uncut food at the bottom.

Pretty sure this model was marketed as a bread slicer. My parents have the same one.

My mother in law is moving in with us in November.
I like her a lot but made a joke that she can only if we get to have her 70’s hand cranked slicer that still look new.
I have used it before and am legitimately looking forward to have it in our home

If anyone you know ow has a 3d printer, they could probably duplicate the part for you!

With 3d printing a lot of unfixable plastic parts are fixable now
bigeats1 t1_iqnf9op wrote
Mine in white (guarantee it’s the same otherwise) has spikes on the guide accessory which is missing here. Otherwise, identical. Marketed as a GP slicer. You could, I suppose, use it for bread, but it’s less than ideal. The bowing to the exit wouldn’t work for crusty or even slightly crumbly stuff.

Windholm t1_iqnoach wrote
It may well be, but it wasn't intentional. I was just trying to help by Googling a translation. I typed in "Cuisimat in English", and it came back with French > cuisimat; English > kitchen. I never took French, so what do I know? :) I defer to your expertise.
Yeah, next time I'll double-check.
Enemiend t1_iqnp6m5 wrote
We bake a LOT of crusty bread (live in Germany after all) and it's not a problem; slices become quire flexible laterally if they are not too thick. But good to know it was sold as a GP slicer. My dad uses it for ham on rare occasions, now that I think about it.

Buy well, buy once! I love vintage kitchens, personally; in another 30-50 years some scholar will be praising the preservation and making a study of the design.
[deleted] t1_iqnt36y wrote
They really did make better stuff back then right? My 94 year old grandma has been using the same slicer since the late 50ies, and her phone from the 80ies is also working perfectly. Not to mention all the wooden furniture that is still rock solid.

I'm just going to say that safety features weren't as prominent as they are today. Be careful with really old equipment like that, wouldn't be the first time something breaks putting live on the outside of the equipment.

The Krups electronic slicer looks like a former west german brand (maybe from Nürnberg/Solingen or Berlin). In past, such kitchen models were home produced as this and f.e. AEG and had a complete other quality as nowadays China fabrications.

WhySoManyOstriches t1_iqogq6g wrote
Wow- the food processor was truly an expensive appliance back then. And I’m kinda jealous of the meat slicer. You can save $$$ by just buying a pre-cooked chicken or turkey boneless ham and cutting it yourself. And is the Krups thing a coffee maker or a bread machine? Your parent must have eaten well as a kid!
worldiscubik OP t1_iqohsx1 wrote
Yes it was really an investment for my grandparents, they never had much after WW2. The orange Krups slicer is just used for bread by my grandma and the third pic just shows its back so people can see the brand ☺️ Thanks for the nice words, and yes we are still getting great food delivered by her oldschool kitchen 🥰

I had no idea Cuisinart was that old. I went through 2 of their coffee makers in 2 years recently.
My mom has a KitchenAid mixer from the late 80s thats still going strong. She gave it to me when my dad bought her a brand new one for mothers day one year.
She bugs me to give her the old one back because she doesn't like the new one and swears it's made with inferior parts.
