Has anyone tried cutting frozen meat? How does it cut if you have.

I have used it to cut frozen sheep and deer, and got nice cuts, the only thing is if you try to rush it the blade bends and when it bends it cuts the table, so that is the only draw back. I hope that helps you with your decision. since i bought this saw, i have cut atleast 25 sheep and a minimum of 6 deers on it, no issues outside of the blade bending like i mentioned to you already.

I have not tried any frozen items but it is very sharp and may work. It does not slice tomatoes well, it tears them up some. It grates and slices carrots well and onions.

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.

It does work on raw meat, it just does not do it well. I have had to semi freeze the raw meat to give it some firmness and then it slices it fine. With out semi freezing the thickness of the cut is not uniform.

I only slice meat from a frozen state, provides a much more consistent thickness. The machine has been slicing frozen meat for over two years and still works. It is advertised as being able to slice frozen meat and i have had no issues.

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

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...

I never used the knife to slice raw meat. I did find a review about the knife on America's Test Kitchen, but it only mentioned cooked roast.

Haven't used it exclusively on ice. chops up frozen strawberries, raspberries, etc. easily.

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.

Definitely works...i do that all the time. I cut up my fruits first into smaller pieces and freeze them though, just to make it more manageable

I have not ever tried anything like that. The blades are not really very sharp so I would think it might break the vegetables if they are really frozen but I would not think it cut through them.

You can always cook frozen meat. I frequently have put frozen hamburger in a skillet simultaneously friying it and thawing it out right there in the pan constantly scraping off the outer layer as it cooks and defrosts at the same time. You can do this in the instant pot on the Saute setting. In any pressure cooker ( the instant pot is primarily used as a pressure cooker) you can put a whole frozen chicken, stew meat, frozen chiie block with two inches of water, making beef stew or chicken soup and just cook it about 5 minutes longer in the pressure cooker than unfrozen meat. It works very well. A pressure cooker unthaws frozen meat rather quickly as it cooks at about 240 degrees. No need to defrost first. You can take the meat put in the morning, put it in a dish in the morning and it will bee defrosted when you get home from work, but that is not necessary. Just take it out of the freezer and throw it in the Pressure Cooker. It will cook just the same as unfrozen, just give it a few extra minutes Bottom line - frozen is no big deal. W.O.

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.

I have used it on bulk lunch meats and block cheese. Cut both, it is not fast but I am quite happy with the purchase. I would suggest placing soft items in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to firm them up. I found this made the slicing easier.

I have found that when I have used it for freezing meat, in a pinch, I have to wrap it around the packaging to connect it back to the tape, and that holds it. However, it doesn't stick to the paper itself. It takes more tape, but when I run out of freezer paper, I can still get meats into the freezer when I have to. Just make sure you connect tape to tape. Works great that way.

I ordered it. Its not good for meats. You are better off with a real meat slicer. I tried with semi frozen and non frozen meats and half of the meat was chopping into bits, others were sliced. The slices did not look pretty.
