can you slice meat for sandwiches

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

Yes, especially processed meat. Works fine cutting through a sandwich with cheese and deli cuts as well.

Slices are about 1/4 of an inch thick, I would say probably 8 slices. Since slices are long, I cut one in 2 to make a sandwich.

I haven't tried it, but I would think that if you cut the meat into bite size pieces it could work. It is very powerful!

I have used mine to cut 'paper' thin for meats. I have not tried vegetables yet.

It's recommended that you PARTIALLY freeze meats before slicing thin. Pop it in freezer for maybe an hour or two. You can not slice hard frozen meats.

Yes. You can lay 2 pieces of bread side by side. So, you can do 2 sandwiches.

One slice folded will make one sandwich. One slice on top of another can give you two. Very little is left besides the crust when it is cut so it's not wasted either way.

Yes, you can cut soft meats...thawed steak, beef roasts, etc. They are great for trimming chicken fat from thighs and breasts. I've even cut some partially thawed chicken. You have to use your judgment. If you find that it isn't cutting easily, then I would suggest a metal knife.

We really only use it to slice fresh meats; instead of buying lunch meats, we cook fresh unprocessed meats for healthier foods. The slicer works very well adjusting to your desired thickness.

I would think the meat would be OK but if it were a sandwich you would be crushing the bread and when it thawed out it would be ugly. I do not think ziplock bags would work as they are too thin, but I have not tried it.

I don't see why you couldn't but do not buy this item. This is a complete waste of money. There is no adjustment at all on it for varying thicknesses of meat and just shreds up and tears the meat and ruins it. Don't waste your money!!!!!!!!!!!!

The slices are about half the thickness of the slices in pre-sliced cheese, so you would need more than one layer. Also, the slices are just half the width of a piece of bread.

I went out to my storage location to see, but without yanking it out, I can't tell, although I think not. I'm just a home goy. I don't run a sandwich shop or anything like that. I just want roast beef sliced to perfection for my sandwiches. I love this thing. It does what I want. If you used it all day in a shop the clean up would seem okay, but for one roast the clean up is the same. I couldn't be happier with my purchase for my use.

yes, I think you can. I have seen many recipes with meats 3-4lbs for the demi. What doesn't fit, cut in half. Cutting meats has not been a problem, since you will probably cut into slices before serving.

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