Could this be used to slice (almost) frozen chicken breast into very thin slices to feed to a ferret?

I have never tried it for this, but it appears it would work the slicer is mostly made for vegetables. If you use it for this purpose It may work, but the lifespan of the equipment would be shorter.

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.

Never tried frozen meat. Not sure. If anything could do it, this could. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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

yes you can use the shears to cut the backbone out of a chicken , we have several times and they are holding up well , not like out last pair. we are happy with these.

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.

A breast would be way too thick, you would have to slice it thin to get it through. This cuber does a nice job, but you cant get away with meat that is too thick. The meat just stalls and won't feed through.

This knife is sharp and it will cut anything but it is designed to remove meat from a bone.May I suggest you look at the Voctorinox chegs knife for cutting boneless chicken as it has multple uses as well. I hope this helps.

hello, i haven't tried making thin and crisp potato slices. in fact the slicer is in the cabinet w/other things I don't use anymore....I don't fry any foods so I wouldn't even do that but I have tried slicing potato's for baked fries and it dosent work that great. You have to take the skin off then slice. Slicer won't work well w/skins on. good luck

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

I wouldn't recommend it. They have a fiber on the inside and I think if it is cut it would fray and possibly get on food.

No it needs uniform pieces like kibble.I think chicken would be to soft and clog it.

Though I haven't attempted tomatoes, I think first of all it would have to be a smallish tomato, and secondly, that the slices would be too thin. Don't think the cutting wires would be strong enough to get through the skin of the tomato. It would require force and that would end up squishing the flesh. Maybe it would do well with the perfect size and texture tomato. I don't think it is what you are looking for.

Sorry Tweety Bird .... You can only try it ..... The slices are really not very thick when cut using the slots on the slicer ..... Much thinner and you won't have much bread left �

I believe so. We haven't used it for meat yet, but it's pretty sturdy so far! I'd probably suggest boneless chicken strips/pieces to be more efficient.

These are pure, freeze-dried chicken, so I guess the question is whether ferrets eat chicken . (I buy these as cat treats, as the package contents are identical, and the dog-sized packages are far more economical.

Yes, as long as it wasn't one that puffed up well over the top of the container. But if that is the case, just cut a few slices off the bottom and slide it down.

Yes, it can grind chicken breast if cut in cubes. I have tried that once few days ago.

only if it was the size if a chicken. The opening is too small for a turkey. What a great Idea, though. Rhese thinfs are awesome and you get some really tasty meals with throwing in some veggies and meat.
