How good is this for frozen meat? Roasts, tongue, sausages, etc.

If you go slow it works well for cold meat, I haven't tried frozen. It's not that strong a motor so you would probably want a stronger one, or thaw the meat a little first.

I've sliced up venison roasts and whole muscle venison frozen with no problems. I've had mine for a yr and had no issues..

No,, in fact if you. Want to stack like burgers, get some freezer paper and cut it just a little larger then the meat. Be sure to cut 2 pieces placing the dull sides together , shinny sides out.Make sure that you leave a space between stacks for it to seal between them Don't put it more than 3 high, and 2 across they will seal good and you can open take out 1 or 6 then reseal same bag. You can season before freezing, you can use it to marinade, the rub or thick sauce. It works very well. You buy bulk grains or anything else like that even coffee and vacuum them in size you want it to be.

It depends on how you are planning to use it. I have used it in the oven to make stews and it worked out great. The instructions say that it can withstand temperatures up to 400F. However, I am not sure how well roasting would work.

I only use the frozen patties either regular or turkey sausage. I do not thaw or prewarm it first but I do time mine for 6 minutes not five.

Hi - This is lighter than a roasting pan and not as deep. I do not recommend using it to roast meats. Lasagna and casseroles would be fine. I hope this helps.

Frankly speaking, I have not used this oven for frozen meal. However, I found out this oven is good for anything dry and not good for heating up something wet like soup. For frozen stuff, I suggest to start with lower temperature for defrosting, then turn to high for browning.

Yes! I use mine for freezing all kinds of things. The only drawback is (and this happens in any condition, not just the freezer) every once in a while they "unvacuum" It usually happens quickly because of not zipping them tightly enough, but sometimes it is because of a bad bag or small hole in the bag, so I check in a day or two to avoid freezer burn, stale food, etc.

Yes. You can do any meat on it. Prepackaged, bulk, everything. I have thawed thick steaks, to thin, premade hamburger patties. No problem.

I have only used it with traditional style. What I do is keep the meat frozen a little so it will slice thin.

I've never used frozen food in it, but I image that you could. I've used mine for spagetti (leftover from the night before), soup, stew, & beans. I can plug it in when I get to work and they are hot by lunch time. It comes with a removeable bowl and lid, that is dishwasher safe. I just fill the removable bowl and put in the refrigerator the night before and grab it and go the next morning. It is mainly for reheating and not like the big crock pots for cooking.

Yes this will work just fine. The best thing would be to either season large chunks of meat first, then grind. Or, do a course grind on the meat, then add in the seasoning and then do a second grind. Or, do a course grind, add seasoning, then use the stuffing attachments to stuff your sausage casings.

This knife is good for slicing raw meat however it works a lot better when the meat is partially frozen so the meat will retain its shape as you slice it. I find this knife the best that I have ever used for slicing in uniform thickness if you do a little freezing first. dbf dblainefer@aol.com

They say with the extra power that it has no problem slicing frozen meat. With the way it handled thawed pork loin I would be afraid to try it on frozen meat. I would NOT recommend this slicer at all.

Yes it can be frozen for a very long time. I buy it to make my own sausages at home and I keep the caul fat vacuum sealed in my freezer. It seems like it will last for years this way.

I have only used the product for making dried meats like jerky or biltong. The product works well for meats and fruits.
