Can this device work with homemade treats such as cut up chicken breast?

I don't think chicken will work. The Manners Minder comes with 2 wheels with different sized holes to dispense the rewards. It really works best w kibble

I'm surprised at the "no" responses to this question. I use cut up chicken breast or cut up steak pieces whenever I start a new skill. If the piece is falling apart, shredding, or too big it can jam, but a well cooked piece chicken or meat, cut up with a good, sharp, not serrated knife works fine. The wheel comes out for easy cleaning and the bin is easy to wipe clean with the wheel removed.

No, I don't believe that it would. Even some dog kibble is too large for the dispenser and become jammed. A good option that has worked well for me is Zuke's Mini Naturals. You have to be certain that whatever you put into the dispenser will not break apart and cause the mechanism inside to become jammed. Love mine though and what's even better..my dog LOVES it more!

Maybe not raw, but I'd try with cut up jerky. You can make it at home by fridge-drying. :)

No it needs uniform pieces like kibble.I think chicken would be to soft and clog it.

It wasn't designed for peeling chicken. You never know until you try, so if you try let me know how it works for you. Otherwise I would only use it for apples, pears and maybe potatoes.

I can't see why not. I was trying out one of the blades on a red onion the other day and even using the pulse I went one push too far and wound up with minced onion, really really minced. As I mentioned to another person, invest in the extra set of blades. They were $60 but with all five blades you have a wonderful variety of options. I'm very pleased with the machine and use it much more than I ever did my old one. It's got a very tricky lock system, so if you buy it and can't get it to turn on just email me back. Hope your cat enjoys the homemade dinner.

Sanitation aside, I do not know as I have never tried this.....however, from my experience with how this cuts, chicken would not be a problem whatsoever........

No it isn't big enough to do a whole chicken. You could steam a cut up chicken but I have not tried it for meat. I use a slow cooker for that.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife. It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

YES! You can do just about anything with this food processor. When it arrives, there is a small booklet with a reference to a New York Company. Call the 800 number in order to purchase, a mixer attachment, wide slicing and grating blade and a couple more items. They are very inexpensive ( between 10 and 12 dollars). I ordered everything available. I love this food processor- the NY support people are exceptional also.

The technique of slicing partially frozen chicken breasts was shown on the DVD that came with my food processor. This mandoline has very, very sharp blades which, even after many years, will easily slice a raw carrot. So, even tho I've never used it for partially frozen chicken, if you are strong enough, it is sharp enough & tough enough to do it. Just watch out for those fingers, or the ferret may get a taste of something unintended. Those little nippers are all too happy to taste fingers as it is.

Don't know why it would not work. It works for small and large roasts and we often use it for roasted chicken, when not putting them on the grill.Hope this is helpful.

I have only used the cutter for meat & cheese...But, you have a good idea...If the veg was firm I don't see a problem...but if soft & mushy I don't think it will work for ya...

No, this item does not have "doneness" settings for different types of poultry and meat programmed in. However, it allows you to set a specific temperature (usually specified in a recipe) and the device alarm goes off when that temperature is reached. Nifty!

That's a good question. My answer would be yes as long as you don't get the chamber to hot. If that's the only reason your using it for, you could something much cheaper. It does however make great pizzas and I smoked a chicken in it which came out wonderful.Hope this helps

The edges are round, so you will cut away the rounded edges. You will also need heavy duty scissors to cut. Scissors use for cutting chicken should work. Hope this helps!

If you dip it in buttermilk and then the breadcrumbs or whatever, yes it will. As long as it's not dripping. If its dripping, the fan may blow all the liquid off the meat. The basket is not that big, room for about 3 legs or two breasts. The cooking is done by super-heated, recirculating air. That's why if you are doing fish sticks or chicken tenders, you need to spray a little cooking spray on the items so they have a little moisture and are not completely dried out. Aso, I believe they just came out with a larger capacity model. You might check that so you can make more fried chicken pieces at one time.

I would not recommend this tool for that purpose. You would be better off using a food processor or a good, sharp chef's knife.

Yes. I love the shears for their versatility. They can cut chicken up in a hurry. Enjoy!

if you only use oil and don't have much or any additional liquid to generate steam, I'd speculate this is unlikely to work. Plus the presence of large amounts of steam is unlikely to contribute in a good way to crunchy fried chicken.
