It does work on raw meat, it just does not do it well. I have had to semi freeze the raw meat to give it some firmness and then it slices it fine. With out semi freezing the thickness of the cut is not uniform.

no it does not work at all.it worked for about three months.the gears would not mesh and made grinding noise.I called the co they were not helpful. so I bought another one from a different co and again same problem again no help I had to throw them out.my loss.I am looking towards a belt driven slicer.afraid to try again.

Perhaps if the meat was really really cold but I doubt it would work well. It's more useful for slicing firm vegetables - cabbage, carrots, potatoes...

Yes. We use the meat slicer everyday in an industrial kitchen. Our chef really likes it.

I do not know if it will slice through bone, I have only used it for meats without the bone, such as black forest ham and pork loins, etc. It is a great slicer overall.

Yes this should work because it sits on the slicer platform just like the food you want to slice. You then adjust it to sharpen the blade. This way it will work on most slicers

I have not done raw cucumbers but I am sure it will work fine. I slice onions and firm tomatoes and have even sliced salami a few times. It takes a bit of force with salami but it does the job.

I ordered it. Its not good for meats. You are better off with a real meat slicer. I tried with semi frozen and non frozen meats and half of the meat was chopping into bits, others were sliced. The slices did not look pretty.

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.

I have not tried slicing any meat type items -however ham would not work at all because of the size limitation of the slicer (appoximently 2" wide) Sausage would be linited to something hard enough to hold its shape as it was sliced Peporoni would proably work - Hard salami would be too wide for the slicer

I'm sorry I only use mine to slice chicken breast for my dogs it's great for me. By looking at it I would say yes but can't say for sure.

I would like to know also....Could it also slice raw beef? I want thin slices for a dish.

I have used it on bulk lunch meats and block cheese. Cut both, it is not fast but I am quite happy with the purchase. I would suggest placing soft items in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to firm them up. I found this made the slicing easier.

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 think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!
