Can this saw cut (frozen) meat with bones in them? Is it easy to clean afterwards?

Not ideally. With the correct blade, it could, but you'd risk getting contaminates on all moving parts, which would be difficult to properly sanitize.

it's not build for FDA standard, so I'll not do that. If it's a single use, I'll just use a hacksaw. works for me couple times

I have not tried that. It probably would cut anything if you let the blade do the work and it is sharp. Not steel bars of course. A frozen bone might be tough. The housings are plastic and well formed. It opens up and can be cleaned o ut fairly easily, but there are some little nokks and crannys iside. I'm not sure it yiou wuoal want to howse it out and keep getting it wet. Also, it looks suspiciously similar to the Ryobi sold by The Home Depot. Go there and look at it.

The tallow from the meat will coat the rubber on the blade wheels and the blade will come off. You would need a pressure washer with garage floor cleaner for clean up. So the answer is YES & YES

I wouldn't recommend it. Clearance is small (both horizontally and vertically), it's not designed for foods, and it would be a nightmare to clean.

No I would not advise using it for chopping as that is what brought about the demise of my previous shovel... For that function I would use a metal shovel but for snow shoveling, wood chips, dirt or refuse it is GREAT !!!!

It may do it,but I would not recommend putting bones through any meat grinder,it would be hard on any cutting knife.I hope this helps.Thanks Randy

Yes, I've used it to cut through chicken back bones, but I have not tried cutting the drumstick/thigh bones.

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

I think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!

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.

My husband is an avid hunter and we do our own processing. I have used it for grinding deer meat into burger and chuck roasts into burger. The only problem I have run across is maybe needing to clean the blade a couple times. I love the attachment!

I think the blade easily cut frozen meat including bones, however the blade is only 11 inches long and halfway through the blade is a arm, therefore I don't think this will work well for cutting meat 16 inches thick.

I haven't done it, but I know it can be done for smaller, thinner cuts. Because of the cold temperature, it will take longer for the unit to get hot enough for pressure. So there may not be much of a time savings over thawing in the microwave and then pressure cooking. I definitely would not try ground meat, as it would cook in a block and would not crumble. Plus, without browning it would not look very appetizing.

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."

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.

Yes, very easily. Be careful though, it chops things so quickly that you may have walnut, almond, pecan, peanut butter! Enjoy it.

Absolutely. It took about an hour. I was able to break it into smaller pieces about 30+ minutes in. I have defrosted chicken legs and thighs as well so far. Have no fears. This is a definite must have!

Not a problem...I originally purchased the Cuisinart DLC-4CHB to help my 88 year old mother-in-law be able to eat some of the types of meat we would have for dinner. What I would do is cut up the (cooked meat) into half inch cubes before putting them into the Cuisinart. Using the chop and grind back and forth it would chop the meat to as fine a consistency as I wanted. That said, I have never used it on raw meat. I would suggest that you just try it with a small amount of meat at a time. Just listen to the motor to make sure it is not laboring, and don't run for an extended period of time, this is not a commercial food processor. One other point of information, after cleaning let the cutting blade dry thoroughly so that the part that slips over the motor shaft is dry. This will keep the shaft from corroding.

No, you have to slice it yourself. It is very easy to do you can slice a boneless ham in on time at all. This is a nice slicer buy it you will be happy with the slicer and it is a snap to clean too.

I'm sure it would work well for that. We have not used it that way just because it is hard to keep it as sanitary as I would like it to be to cut already cooked meat. I do wash the handle and blades well after hard use at the lake.
