can i cut meat with it?

It depends upon the depth and texture of the meat. Hot dogs, ham slices, 4-oz. filets okay. A 10-ounce sirloin maybe not. Not being able to afford a 10-oz sirloin, I wouldn't know.

It is sharp, and should cut meat, but as for sharpening, since it is a serrated blade, it would take special precautions. The serrations are large so easier than if they were tiny.

No, not really. Meat requires a very sharp blade and although the blades in the machine are sharp, they're not that sharp. It works great for making ground beef with the cutting mixing blade, but for those deli slices, you are better off with a machine made for the job. Just search Amazon for "deli slicer" or "meat slicer."

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

I only use it with ground meat. I do not think it is intended for use with sliced meat. The package says mix with 1lb. of meat. Hope this helps.

Yes, I haven't made anything with meat but the recipe book that comes with the cooker has recipes in it that include cut up meat.

This knife is used for vegetables, I use it exclusively for veggies. You could use it for meats, why would you want to?

I haven't tried that, but I don't see why not. I just used it to cut up deli sliced turkey into strips for my grand kids. Love it for parsley and rosemary and thyme. Want to try all kinds of things with it. Best gadget ever!!!!

Yes. You can do any meat on it. Prepackaged, bulk, everything. I have thawed thick steaks, to thin, premade hamburger patties. No problem.

Yes, especially processed meat. Works fine cutting through a sandwich with cheese and deli cuts as well.

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

I wouldn't think so - it is HUGE and I don't think it would be agile enough for that. It works really well for carving meat into really thin slices.

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...

Bless me, but I don't now the answer to the answer to this question. It is nice knife and slices very thin cuts of meat, vegetables, etc.

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.

I have only used with ground meat. I would think it would be ok if the meat was sliced thin.

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!
