Can frozen meat be sliced as well?

Good question! I have never tried to slice meat that is frozen!!!!?????!!!!!!

I have never tried this, but it is unlikely considering the amount of power that would require.

I would say no! Because the two pounder cold roast beef can cut except the side panel was weak and moved back and forth thats why cut meats are uneven cut. I never try to cut frozen meat so I'm not sure if it works well.

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

Yes, you can freeze the remaining portion after opening. I cut my 4 lb. roll in half, and place one half in a sealed plastic box in the refrigerator, This is the half I use daily, slicing the amount I need for each meal, and breaking that slice into small pieces. The other half I place in a zip lock bag and freeze until the first half is gone. As I am constantly rotating in this way, I probably have never had reason to freeze the half more than 2 or 3 weeks. As I read on the internet, the guidelines for freezer storage for meats are for quality only. Frozen foods remain safe indefinitely. (Though I find the quality goes down after about 6-8 months.)

I don't see why not. As long as you make sure to get all the air out, I would think you could freeze meat in them.

I have sliced partially frozen meat and cheese with good success. I would not want to put that extra burden on the motor. It's not a professional machine. The cost reflects that it is for moderate home use and does very well.

If you go slow it works well for cold meat, I haven't tried frozen. It's not that strong a motor so you would probably want a stronger one, or thaw the meat a little first.

Yes, for storage. However, it defrosts quickly, and the frozen loaf is usually easy to split apart into individual slices for toasting, grilling, etc... A thawed loaf will keep at moderate room temperature for almost a week (though it will begin to get stale).

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.

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

They say with the extra power that it has no problem slicing frozen meat. With the way it handled thawed pork loin I would be afraid to try it on frozen meat. I would NOT recommend this slicer at all.

I've never tried meat right out of the freezer. I pop it into the microwave for a minute or two and than slice it with ease.

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.

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.

You should be able to. I am very happy with my slicer. It has performed excellent for.me

Yes, I have used it to slice partially frozen beef for Mongolian BBQ and Philly cheese steak sandwiches.

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.

To answer that question, I tried it. A frozen bagel is difficult to cut and I quit trying before reaching the center. In the past I have successfully cut frozen bagels by zapping them in the microwave for about 20 seconds and then splitting them but I find the best way is to split the bagel as it comes into my home and then re-wrap it before freezing.

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.
