Can it mince meat like chicken breasts?

I have never minced meat with my Blendtec. I understand that it does a good job of mincing meat from friends.

No. some of the chicken meat will become paste and some of them still in large piece in few seconds. If you continue to run longer, all of the meat will become paste and liquid. This is not a goof blender for the cost.

Bear in mind that the slowest speed on this blender is faster than the highest speed on most others. It will render a tray of ice cubes (16 ounces) to snow in less than ten seconds. I haven't tried it, but it would likely turn the chicken breasts into paste in just a few seconds, with the consistency of wet corn meal. Your best bet would be an ordinary food processor. It will typically have larger blades and a much slower speed.

Perhaps you could find a way to somewhat mimic browning or sauteeing, but generally speaking I would say no and the users manual discusses rice, soup. Congee, Porridge (or easy processed foods), Cake, Bone (for making stews), and braising of chicken/meat but nothing in regard to browning or sauteeing.

of course it cooks! The temperature is 200 F, and for example, meat safe cooking temp is 160-175 F. So 200 is plenty. I cut raw chicken breast, laid on the bottom with some raw veggies on top and in 2 hrs all was cooked just perfectly. I am sure some stuff will need more time but this oven does surely cook. And I think at this temperature, it probably destroys minimum amount of nutrients.

No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop. We have the saying, you can always cook more if it's not ready, but you can't uncook anything. We put mixed veggies on top with a sauce that drips down to the meat and cook from 7 to 10 minutes. If the veggies are to done (I like my crispy), then you can take the layer out and continue cooking the meat. It is very handy and we are considering buying a second one as we use it several times a week. Hope this answers you question. I really recommend the steamer if you like to eat healthy. I am a diabetic and this is great for me. Hope this helps. No. We use it for fish, chicken breast, and some times a pork chop.

There is no temp gauge on this model so it only cooks at one temp. I wouldn't cook frozen chicken breast on it unless it is thin cutlets. Time would vary depending on how thick it is or if it's boneless or not. You know, for the price it's very versatile so just give it a go.

It will if the pieces are cut to fit, but be careful if you hold down the pulse you will end up with a mushy chicken salad, it will chop if you watch it closely! Hope this helped!

I don't think so. If you tried to put a roast on this item, you would have a large hole in the middle. The chicken cavity slides over the holder. It does cook an awesome chicken with very little clean up. Love it.

The chicken breasts we cooked this summer came out great. Marinated overnight, lots of garlic and ginger. I suspect that it would also work as a smoker, using low heat, and using thoroughly soaked wood chips. Haven't tried that, but it would be interesting.

No. This is more a Perdue oven stuffer Chicken size although I have used it for roast meats with good results

I have tried two small chickens. They have to be pushed together, and you lose some of the crispiness. They still tastes great.

No it isn't big enough to do a whole chicken. You could steam a cut up chicken but I have not tried it for meat. I use a slow cooker for that.

I have only cooked beans in it but you should be able to cook a small roast. Not sure about a whole chicken - could be tight.

Yes, easily - you can mince ginger too, if you start with small chunks - even if frozen.

No you cannot. The recommended maximum oil level is not high enough to cover a whole small chicken.

Hi Betty, I think it would pure things like chicken, fish or hamburger, but I'm not sure how well it would do on things like steak or lamb (chunks of meat). It comes with three sizes and I'm pretty sure you'd have success with at least one, if not all. Good luck. Cece
