will the knife chop meat

I gave this requested gift as a wedding present. Didn't study it very hard. I don't think it had a serrated edge, so I don't think it would do raw beef or similar meats. I've used one very similar on chicken tenders , though I usually use scissors on small raw meats like that.

Sorry I can't answer that one as I'm a vegetarian. It is great at chopping hard veggies like Jumbo carrots though.Rebeccahttp://poems2order.wordpress.com

I have had the knife for a few months, and still haven't sharpened it - hard metal. It is the best of the brand I have bought.JR

Sorry about the delayed response. Yes the Knife will cut meat. I've cut through chicken backbones for soup stock. It also works great for prepping fruits and vegetables. I make a full meal for my family every day and I am mainly using this knife for cutting everything from meats to chopping garlic and parsley. I have had it for around 6 months now and I find that it works very well. I think it is well worth the money.

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.

I'm not sure. The knife worked great for the first use at Thanksgiving. Using a second time at Christmas, the knives stuck in the unit. I tried everything to remove the blades. The unit was of marginal quality-- so I returned it before time ran out.

We have used this machine to "cube" cuts of steaks. We run the meat through a second time, which makes it even more tender. I expect you could do stew meat with it. It may work with smaller pieces of meat. Might be worth a try.'

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."

I have not used it for that...the blades are quite sharp...I am guessing that it will chop your dog food...the chopping well is fairly small...it may only do 1 meal at a time (depending on the size & appetite of your dog).

It is strong and a good size for chopping chicken bones. Just keep the blade sharp and it will do the job.

I have cut meat with this knife and it worked well, but I do not feel the serrated edge can be easily sharpened.

I have not used the chopper for meats, but assuming a fairly tender meat, such as cooked chicken or ham, I would think it will do it satisfactorily. One might start with pre-diced cubes of 1" or less and fill only one-half to two-thirds full for best results, but that may not be necessary....I would think any bones would be a problem - bones such as those in turkey or chicken brest.

It will probably do that, however I doubt if it is made for that kind of work. You will probably wear out the knife pretty quick.

We use it as a dough knife most of the time. It will work for chopping, but we prefer a knife for that. It's great for gathering up chopped veggies or meat to transfer them to a pot or bowl.

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!

No, it's a bread knife. You should use a smooth blade (like a chef's knife) to cut vegetables.

NO, It cant chop light bones, only meat and vegetable. You might chip the edge of the knife if u chop bone, since the edge is thin. To be save you should use the Shun Ken Onion 7-Inch Cleaver to chop bone.

Hello Bern44, yes you can chop meat on these cutting boards. Since it's bamboo it is an Anti-microbial product and washing them is very easy just use soap and warm water. Any left overs from chopping meat is easily removed with a simple wash. Sincerely, Premium Bamboo

I have not tried meat. Works wonderfully on veggies. Doesn't work on cheese. It works like any decent mini chopper.

Since it's a serrated blade I haven't tried it on raw meat or chicken. It's my definite "go to" knife for cheese and most vegetables and have given to friends as a gift.
