can you slice frozen or semi frozen meat

Well the Manufacturers of commercial machines say frozen meat will destroy the blade quickly.

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!

No, it won't slice meat very long. I stripped the drive gears during the 4th time I used it. Gears are plastic. It never saw hard use. Don't waste your money.

No. It would not even slice meat very good . It finelly stripped out the drive gear and I sent it back . We have a 6year old Nesco that has a serrated blade that will cut through frozen meat with no problem that I would recommend instead of this one. Good luck .

That depends on many things, how big and thick you cut the meat, just how wet it is. I would guess not, you would most likely have to do it in 2 possibly 3 lots. You have to leave room for air to circulate thru the trays, so you can't cover the tray totally full. The meat should be about 1/4" thick, with spaces between each slice, that's about the best answer I can give you. You could contact Nesco, they may have a better answer.

The maximum food length (from the instruction manual) is 9". The manual also states that 'large food items like roasts and slabs of bacon' need to be cut into smaller pieces before slicing.

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.

purchased for my son--he said it will not cut solid frozen meat but he puts his deer in the freezer for 1/2 hr. then cut it--that works best for him.

I have found that I do need to stop and start a bit when slicing through a block of cheddar cheese fresh out of the refrigerator (not freezer). This is not a problem at all--just my two cents. Overall, I would recommend this slicer.

I would imagine it could grind thawed non-stringey (not too many tendons) or boney meat, but I wouldn't throw a frozen block of ground beef inside ... that would certainly damage your blades.

We use a cleaver to chop the partly frozen meat into 1.5 inch strips....takes very little time to do

Absolutely. You can thaw anything. Keep the food packaged and sit in on the thawing plate.

I have only used it with traditional style. What I do is keep the meat frozen a little so it will slice thin.

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.

The best thing is an electric meat cutter. It cuts it very easy. Use a table edge as a guide

yessssssssssssss.....robalo .... that fish should be slightly frozen and slicing more easily: in very thin slices, you make a vinaigrette of garlic, ginger and finely chopped parsley and olive oil .... freshly ground pepper last :)

no, just put it on and wait awhile - it doesn't take too long. The steel draws out the cold from the frozen meat. You can accomplish the same thing with a steel frying pan.Just try it.
