I want to thin slice venison to make steak sandwiches. I have some hind quarter muscles that are a bit chewy. Will it slice it thin?

I would guess that it would, although I haven't tried it. I thin slice hams. I come pretty close to "shaving" them which is what I like. I have found that it is better to just let the machine do the work to get a thinner slice (Don't force or try to hurry). You manually move the ledge that holds the meet back and forth yourself so you control the speed of that.

Probably not... we found that 1/8 inch or thinner would gum up the machine. We didn't go any thinner than 1/4 inch (usually with ham) before the gumming up would happen. Hope this helps.

Yes, as long as the cucumber itself isn't too mushy it slices it just fine! If you have trouble with this or anything else, like cheese, try freezing it for a few minutes first to harden it up before slicing.

It will cut pretty thin if meat partially frozen an eighth of an inch or less really haven't measured. I love mine wish I had bought it years ago.

I made jerky when I purchased the unit and it sliced right through the meat no problem. I would think it would do the same with cheese.

You know, I'd never tried this before until your question but I happened to have a wedge of hard Parmesan cheese in the refrigerator. I took it out and very easily sliced 4-5 slices off the end that ranged between 1/8" and 1/4" thick depending on how much pressure I put on the cheese pushing it through and how thick I set the adjustment for the slicing range. Thanks for the question! Now you have an answer to your question, and I have more options in cheese to put on the grilled sandwiches that I make! I just made one yesterday slicing apples crossways to go with provolone, sliced Vidala onions, green peppers and Dijon on rustic bread with home grown herbs. Yum!

I have made breakfast pork sausage, kielbasa, bratwurst, and Italian sausage. It works well on commercial meats. It's not so good on grinding venison. The sheath layer around the venison muscle clogs the holes in the cutting plates.

A flex knife might be good for trimming bone and fat. This semi-stiff knife has proven to be good for slicing and carving as well as trimming and boning for me. So, it fits both of my needs. I have been very pleased with this knife since I bought it. I use it almost daily and have not had to scrapen the blade yet.

What you need is the measures of the center hole and blade width. If its a match, maybe, but also theres a gear on the back of this blade and am sure the gear to gear ratio must match the gear on ur meat slicer. Trying googling it. That is how i found out, its a great blade and cuts well.

Carl, as long as you don't accidentally let your meat slide under one of these slicers, you should be good. Once any form of meat touches the slicer, vegetarians are no longer legally allowed to use this product. Trust me, I found out the hard way and had my wages garnished and lost my spot in the JG Wentworth commercial series.

Yes!!! slice meat at least one pound (I used London Broil) 1/4 inch thick or thinner (no much) place in plactic bag with seasoning shake to distribute on all or most of the meat. let it set in refrigerator 24 - 48 hours. Place strips of beef in dehydrator. 160 deg is best. cook for 8-10 hours. Whah-la...Munchie time...

I'm sorry. This was a gift but I've seen him 'honing' with it before slicing beef and turkey. Hope this helps.

I like it for cutting meat since I keep it really sharp. But the edge is fairly thin so I am either very careful or use a boning knife around bones.

It's not really what it was designed for. It's more for thin slicing roast beef, turkey, corned beef, etc.

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

It should i have not use it i got it for myHubson for christmas last year and he loves it. Just make sure you have a dishwasher to wash everything it is good to use to cut meat. But not froozen ment make sure the meat is still a little hard. It is a good slicer
