Can this be used for meats; ham, sausage, hard salami?

I have not tried slicing any meat type items -however ham would not work at all because of the size limitation of the slicer (appoximently 2" wide) Sausage would be linited to something hard enough to hold its shape as it was sliced Peporoni would proably work - Hard salami would be too wide for the slicer

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.

Yes, you can. In fact, the last get-together we had, that's what we cooked. The frozen kind from Costco seem to work best, as they are compact, mostly unbroken, and stay together nicely until you pop those tasty little morsels in your mouth.I have found that this well designed machine works far better at cooking and keeping Brats, Sausage, Dogs, Taquitos, Corn Dogs, and Egg Rolls than any conventional oven can do.I thoroughly recommend! 5 Stars!JGLDFW TX

absolutely No. The power is too weak and cook very slow. my experience, only work for very thin piece of meat.

I only use it for fries and re-heating pizza. Works great for that. I would not use for meatloaf, maybe the steak as long as you have foil under it for all the drippings so you don't cause a fire in the stove. For Meatloaf-stick to a loaf pan.

Yes you can, I've used mine for cooking bulk sausage into pattys and I've also cooked eggs in it.

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.

I have no idea. I use it for meat, roasted turkey, cake, homemade bread and it works great.

yes. I bought this specifically for meatloaf dinners. I use it in both my toaster oven and conventional.

Good question. I have never done it. It could be done but you would probably have problems with a good seasonings mix in the ground meat. The stuffing tube will definitely fit with the grinding plate and the meat would be able to fill the casing. Marinated meat might be worth trying. Dang, I see the needless murder of another wild pig in my future!

Hello, We have not heard of customers using this product in preparation in sausages. Here in Nebraska we make what is called blood sausage or black pudding. We use either cow's or pig's blood depending on whether it is Pork or Beef that we are using. We also include some fillers like cornmeal and other spices. Look at some recipes on google and I am sure you can come up with something. To acquire some blood is another question that I really do not have an answer for as here in Nebraska we have plenty of access to beef and pork blood right from the farm. Thanks for asking and sorry this is not the product to use, Andrew Hemmer

Yes, you can grind most any meat to make ground burger or sausage. That's the beauty of grinding you own. You know exactly what's in your burger or sausage. I would suggest cutting into cubes and putting in the freezer for a short time to firm up the meat while you get everything set up. Then remove and start grinding. This grinder worked well for me. I made lots of deer burger and sausage last fall.

Definitely. I bake bread and cookies, roast potatoes, zucchini and eggplant. Haven't tried it with meat but can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Be aware that aluminum, like aluminum cookware, will be more difficult to clean after cooking meat in it. But the only way you can ruin it is to leave it in the oven during an oven cleaning cycle. That will melt the pan.

I would say no. While I have made sausage, both fresh and cured by smoke, I don't see tender quick as an ingredient. see this link for a sopressata recipe. http://italianfood.about.com/od/curedmeats/r/blr0510.htm

Yes it works good. I like to season cubed meat for certain sausages and leave sit overnight. I still mix the sausage with a mixer or by hand after grinding.

Yes! I've used it as a marinade on thinly sliced beef. Use a "tougher" meat.....not one that is marbled with fat!

You could try it, but I usually do two grinds for the sausage I make. I don't think this short cut of grinding and stuffing would prove to be much of a time saver.
