Can frozen meat be sliced as well?

They say with the extra power that it has no problem slicing frozen meat. With the way it handled thawed pork loin I would be afraid to try it on frozen meat. I would NOT recommend this slicer at all.

Yes it can slice frozen meat. I actually prefer to freeze mine before slicing, works better. This is not a butcher quality slicer but for occasional home use it works well.
60653
I really doubt it. I returned this machine because of poor quality. It did not cut even slices.

I only slice meat from a frozen state, provides a much more consistent thickness. The machine has been slicing frozen meat for over two years and still works. It is advertised as being able to slice frozen meat and i have had no issues.

I have sliced partially frozen meat and cheese with good success. I would not want to put that extra burden on the motor. It's not a professional machine. The cost reflects that it is for moderate home use and does very well.

we have sliced partially frozen meat for jerky. have not tried frozen solid

I've never tried meat right out of the freezer. I pop it into the microwave for a minute or two and than slice it with ease.

Yes, actually it makes things easier sometimes when slicing raw meat. Not a bad slicer, could ne improved on, but I am sure it would cost more too.

I tried cutting frozen hamburger and it cuts it. the problem is that the slices are being bent around the frame causing the meat to be lifted from the tray on the end as it is cutting through. you get a pattie that is wedge shape instead of round. my next experience will be with pliable partially frozen meat. I am trying to get patties from a round roll of hamburger so that I can freeze precut patties for the grill. cut at max setting.

It can, but needs to be about half unfrozen. Mine tended to smoke if the frozen item was hard.

Yes. I have not tried it yet, but the recipe book allows for it. You have to add additional cooking time for frozen food, but the recipe books tells you how much time to add.

Sorry, we only eat frozen pizza in slices we purchase from Sams. It does a beautiful job with those. It is basically a small verdion of an expensive full size oven. Very easy to use!

I've never used it for such. I have tried other cuts of meat but it takes experimentation. It is perfect for rotisserie chicken and it is fine to experiment with other items, but I am not confident enough to use expensive cuts of beef or lamb.

I have not tried any frozen items but it is very sharp and may work. It does not slice tomatoes well, it tears them up some. It grates and slices carrots well and onions.

Yes it will slice frozen meat or cheese. Cheese is the real test as it is so dense.

I have only used with ground meat. I would think it would be ok if the meat was sliced thin.

The technique of slicing partially frozen chicken breasts was shown on the DVD that came with my food processor. This mandoline has very, very sharp blades which, even after many years, will easily slice a raw carrot. So, even tho I've never used it for partially frozen chicken, if you are strong enough, it is sharp enough & tough enough to do it. Just watch out for those fingers, or the ferret may get a taste of something unintended. Those little nippers are all too happy to taste fingers as it is.

I would not use frozen meat in this slow cooker. In the instructions it states to thaw frozen meat first (page 11).

I have not ever tried anything like that. The blades are not really very sharp so I would think it might break the vegetables if they are really frozen but I would not think it cut through them.

No, not really. Meat requires a very sharp blade and although the blades in the machine are sharp, they're not that sharp. It works great for making ground beef with the cutting mixing blade, but for those deli slices, you are better off with a machine made for the job. Just search Amazon for "deli slicer" or "meat slicer."

I haven't done it, but I know it can be done for smaller, thinner cuts. Because of the cold temperature, it will take longer for the unit to get hot enough for pressure. So there may not be much of a time savings over thawing in the microwave and then pressure cooking. I definitely would not try ground meat, as it would cook in a block and would not crumble. Plus, without browning it would not look very appetizing.

Good question! I have never tried to slice meat that is frozen!!!!?????!!!!!!

No, it is a cured meat product and does not require refrigeration until it is initially sliced, then it requires refrigeration.

Hi, Happy New Year! To answer your question; I've chopped just about everything you could imagine in my pro chopper. I have to say, it all depends on how you prep for the cut. I do not recommend trying to chop raw meats unless they are frozen. Cooked meats will put too much pressure on the handle, causing it to crack or break. (mine cracked but was still useable) If you feel any pressure from the handle at all, just back it up and try again. Hope this answers your question. Good luck and happy chopping!

I would say no! Because the two pounder cold roast beef can cut except the side panel was weak and moved back and forth thats why cut meats are uneven cut. I never try to cut frozen meat so I'm not sure if it works well.
