Can this cut through raw beef? Thanks!

The product has not been tested to work with raw beef. The type and texture of beef used is going to determine how well it cuts through the meat.

We have used it for steaks they were pretty good. Have not used it for thicker cuts of meat.

I haven't tried beef , but I have sliced some very thin ham. so I would say yes

Yes, absolutely! Infact, because it is so sharp, it slices right through the tomato with ease, and you can get really thin slices. A little pressure and it goes right through. You don't have to slide the knife forwards and backwards waiting for the skin to give way.

Have not tried to chop meat however it probably would work. The blades are extremely sharp you might try a "hard meat" like Salami first.

Anytime you have something to slice that has a tough outer skin, the knife does bog down. However, it has no problem carving roast, making a steak from a roast, bread (not with a tough crust), turkey, or anyother meat. I haven't found it helpful on raw vegetables .

If used for cooked meat or cold cuts, I would think it could be. I am not sure about raw beef or other meats. We use ours as lap trays while eating in our recliners. They can be washed so cutting and serving should be okay as they are advertised as dishes.

it cuts fairly thin (definitly not SHAVED thin). I really have not tried to see how thin it would go because I like things a little thicker. Does great on ham, roast beef, etc.

I am surprised with the answers. It does not cut paper thin... It only cuts down to the thickness of a "packaged" thin slice of ham. You will not get the very thin thickness you get at the Deli (that you must request specifically).... In other words, A very thin roast beef yes, but forget about cutting Prosciutto or very thin slice of ham.

I did not try any of my ceramic knifes on meat, because from what I know the blade can chip if it hits the bone. I prefer not to risk damaging the blade even with boneless chunks of meat. However meat itself is soft enough for ceramic knifes, so technically it can be used to cut it.

Not that I'm aware of. I am not pleased with my unit because the blades are to far apart to really tenderize the meat. You have to run the steak through many times to get a desired effect.

should slice cheese if sliceable. never mind the spelling, you know what i mean. p.s. my slicer has a carriage with a back bar and a device to hold the object against the blade also. similar to the holder in a mandolin. i've effectively sliced raw chicken breasts 1/8" for jerky. 30 lbs. worth. with one big chunk of beef (london broil, brisket,sirloin) really smooth and easy. semi-frozen is easier yet. the last little pieces of softer meats are the hardest to do.

I doubt if it would cut metal as it doesn't sheer it just chops. You would need a metal sheer for that.

I have not sliced meat yet. I use it primarily to slice cheese and it works great.

Yes it can slice frozen meat. I actually prefer to freeze mine before slicing, works better. This is not a butcher quality slicer but for occasional home use it works well.

Sure. I would think it might work well for cutting cooked meat too. The Serrated blade can be sharpened with the proper stone. The blade is very sturdy, and does not bend much. The handle is large and very comfortable, with a nice finger guard near the blade. I think it'd be great for cutting Brisket! If they make a fillet knife, I'd buy one of those too!

I use mine in a professional environment and there's nothing I cant cut with this knife. I have skinned fish, cleaned chicken and cut fruits and veggies. I love this knife!
