can you slice bone with this slicer

I do not know if it will slice through bone, I have only used it for meats without the bone, such as black forest ham and pork loins, etc. It is a great slicer overall.

No, it won't slice meat very long. I stripped the drive gears during the 4th time I used it. Gears are plastic. It never saw hard use. Don't waste your money.

No. It would not even slice meat very good . It finelly stripped out the drive gear and I sent it back . We have a 6year old Nesco that has a serrated blade that will cut through frozen meat with no problem that I would recommend instead of this one. Good luck .

A flex knife might be good for trimming bone and fat. This semi-stiff knife has proven to be good for slicing and carving as well as trimming and boning for me. So, it fits both of my needs. I have been very pleased with this knife since I bought it. I use it almost daily and have not had to scrapen the blade yet.

Yes, it is small enough and sharp - not pointy. Ceramic knives would not be good to use on bones - they break and dull easily if used on hard objects. On the other hand, they are wonderful to use to slice vegetables, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. I especially love the larger one. It is my favorite. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure. This slicer is a piece of junk and mine broke before it was a year old.

This knife is sharp and it will cut anything but it is designed to remove meat from a bone.May I suggest you look at the Voctorinox chegs knife for cutting boneless chicken as it has multple uses as well. I hope this helps.

Interesting question. I generally would not suggest cutting thru chicken bone at all. It's best to cut around and between the joints. I would need to know more specifics of which bone u are trying to cut thru and the application to give you the correct answer.

As long as the bread isn't still warm (just out of the oven), I would think you would be able to slice with this knife. I bake a multi-grain bread in my breadmaker and as long as I let it cool I can slice it with little to no problem.

I would say yes for cartilage and spine bone, but not for breast or leg bones. A knife is still needed.

It would work pretty well but you might want to consider a cut resistant glove if you want the best results as the guard that comes with the slicer is a nice feature to keep fingers away from the blade but not that great at holding together things that want to fall apart when slicing like cabbage. I personally recommend a glove to anyone using it as the blades are very sharp and while I haven't hurt myself bad with I did touch the blade once enough to get a slight cut.

Well, you do need to cut AT THE JOINT on the larger (leg) bones. If you must hack your way through the leg or thigh bone in the middle of it, I'd suggest a cleaver, not the scissors. Personally, I never cut any meat with anything BUT a knife. Scissors, while very popular with some for poultry and other fowl, seem somehow sacrilegious to me in the cutting of meat. Also, these are sold, I believe, as general kitchen shears, not specifically poultry shears, which may have a heavier blade and offset handles.

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.

I have never tried it for this, but it appears it would work the slicer is mostly made for vegetables. If you use it for this purpose It may work, but the lifespan of the equipment would be shorter.

Yes,you should be able to as each piece is adjustable...ie, just adjust it so far out of the way so it doesn't slice.

I have never cut any potatoes with mine but I think the answer would be no. It has 2 slicing blades but I think all they would do is slice it into something like a chip. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

Absolutely! Just be careful. The slicing blade is so sharp and effortless to use, you will be through a potato before you realize it. You'll have the potatoes sliced and frying in half the time than if you used a knife.

I only used the shears once - on raw chicken that I needed to cut into smaller pieces for a recipe. I did not find it very useful in this context. Many years ago my parents had a similarly desgned shears that they used for cooked chicken. If cooked, I am guessing, but I think that it will cut through the chicken leg and thigh bones because the bones will become more brittle when dried by the cooking process. This is just a guess, though.
