Will it chop cooked meat, for example a cooked pork roast?e.

Absolutely. Anything that you'd use a regular chef's knife for is well suited for a mezzaluna. We use them when we're chopping things in a curved bowl and it's very convenient.

I would think so. I purchased it specifically for the Italian use of spices like basil and or parsley.

Yes, but don't let it sit on very heat and forget about it. I did And almost warped. Good pan. Browns well on top of stove then in the oven for a tender cooked center. Use for small pork roast. Beef roast. Just season meat. Rub with olive oil then keep turning

It doesn't mush some of the food before the rest is chopped. you have great control over size of chop. It has a sweeper on the bottom that moves the food around well.

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 will if the pieces are cut to fit, but be careful if you hold down the pulse you will end up with a mushy chicken salad, it will chop if you watch it closely! Hope this helped!

Yes, It will chop fine &super fine! It does a super job on my walnuts! It should do the job for you! Chops alittle larger too!

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!

It would depend on how soft the beans were after they had been cooked. I didn't like this item at all and bought scissors to cut my herbs. I would think a sharp chef's knife would work better.

I have never done cooked ground beef but I have done cooked veggies, so you should have no problem, just make sure you fill it up only below the half way mark, better doing it in several batches than all filled up, all of course depends on the quantity you intend to make finer.... It is quite a strong machine.Edith

It doesn't actually grind, but it chops meat pretty well. Cut the meat into half-inch cubes, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes, and pulse to the texture you want. We like it pretty coarse, but I've accidentally chopped it finer and it doesn't smush if the meat is cold/firm enough.

John,I've had the portable kitchen for over a year and love it. Steaks, chicken breast or burgers all cook up great. I've been getting my butcher to cut steak sized center cut pork chops. They are as good as ribeye steaks, it takes a little soaking in a brine solution, but the PK gives them a flavor that's beyond your imagination. I haven't tried a rack of ribs, but I think the PK will cook most anything, that's why it's called the Portable Kitchen. I bought the PK to replace a similar aluminum cooker that was 35 years old.

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.

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

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 .

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 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.
