Can you use this for chopping tuna (out of a can)?

Have not done tuna yet, but have made chicken salad without problems. Tuna should work fine.

Oh yes, it (tuna) can be processed with the chopper. I've done ice as well as other soft items.

Not if you want to make nut butters. It has no internal cooling fan. If you just want to chop a few up, then yes. But if you try to use it to make nut butters, it WILL burn out. There's no escaping the laws of physics.

No, I don't think so. You could potentially try holding the steak in place across adjacent skewers, but that will not give very even cooking and the juices would run out.

Absolutely not because it is not high enough to allow cans to be stored unless they are tuna size.

Absolutely. I chopped a few cups of pecans in it for my cooking class. It is very powerful. I wish I had bought this one for myself instead of the cuisinart.

Yes. It works great. One of the best tools I have in my kitchen. There are several blades. You can choose the smallest one to make your sauce.

I have never tried chopping those items, but it has no problems with large pieces of other vegetables such as onions so I would thing it would work fine.

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!!!!

No. This is a canner for processing jars of canned produce. It replaces a water bath canner.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

You could but it would be a waste of energy. The canner has a lot of mass and it all has to be heated. The porcelain canners have far less mass and are designed to heat up quickly (and their cost is minor). If it were me I would use the right tool for the right job. If you decide to do it anyway DO NOT SEAL THE LID.

probably not very well. it seems to work best as a guacamole maker (you know: stuff you can add a little liquid to?) or salsa, or pickles for tuna salad. it is pretty small. it specifically says chopping chocolate is a bad idea; probably due to it potentially scratching the plastic.dry stuff like nuts comes out very unevenly chopped; but hey, i likes it just fine. maybe a more industrial (and more expensive) food processor is what you're needin'.

Well, you can but I would not recommend it. It will dull your knife or pizza cutter very quickly. Much better to move the items to a cutting board.

Sure you can. You would, I believe, just use the canner without making the pressure lid closed. It can act like any pan if you don't secure the pressure lid.

I have not used it yet, but looking at the manual, it is for putting the blade in when you want a small amount of stuff and then you can put a lid on it and keep it in a measured container. I think you could use it for chopping a small amount of nuts or making salad dressing. I will comment back when I use it.

Yes, but within the smaller scale. It's not as powerful, but need not be for a smallish bowl. It also lacks the attachments of a full sized FP, such as grating and slicing disks. If I only require a chopping blade and the job fits in it, I always use this instead of the large FP.

Most likely, but that's just a guess. I only open a can about every 2 weeks or less. This is the best tuna by far in a can.
