History
Early history and founding
In 1924, Harry Hoenselaar created a bone-in spiral-slicer that smoked and cooked a ham.[1] He said the idea for the spiral ham slicer "came to him in a dream". Hoenselaar built his prototype spiral slicer using "a tire jack, a pie tin, a washing machine motor, and a knife".[2]
