Can it slice semi-frozen boneless chicken breasts in order to make cutlets?

Semi frozen should work fine. However, My review mentioned that the blade would stop and make a rtcheting sound as if something in side was slipping. But that may be because trying to go too fast.

I have used it on bulk lunch meats and block cheese. Cut both, it is not fast but I am quite happy with the purchase. I would suggest placing soft items in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to firm them up. I found this made the slicing easier.

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!

No it isn't big enough to do a whole chicken. You could steam a cut up chicken but I have not tried it for meat. I use a slow cooker for that.

I don't know since I use mine strictly for making sausage from soft tissue only. The cutting blades are excellent, however, I wouldn't recommend ever putting chicken bones in any food stuff simply for safety reasons. The reason I say this, is that even after cooking chicken bone with heavy steam, it is still a danger for choking and risk of soft tissue tear in the digestive system.

Yes. Spray the baskets first with oil, so it won't stick in the holes. Timing depends on what you are cooking. Frozen chicken breasts will cook in about 30 minutes.

I tried cutting frozen hamburger and it cuts it. the problem is that the slices are being bent around the frame causing the meat to be lifted from the tray on the end as it is cutting through. you get a pattie that is wedge shape instead of round. my next experience will be with pliable partially frozen meat. I am trying to get patties from a round roll of hamburger so that I can freeze precut patties for the grill. cut at max setting.

I did chicken breast with no issue. Chicken is low in fat so there never really seems to be a problem. I sometimes run into issues when I am grinding hit fat content pork because the fat gets tangled in the blade and I have to stop and clear it out. I would still recommend this product though.

I believe so. We haven't used it for meat yet, but it's pretty sturdy so far! I'd probably suggest boneless chicken strips/pieces to be more efficient.

I ordered it. Its not good for meats. You are better off with a real meat slicer. I tried with semi frozen and non frozen meats and half of the meat was chopping into bits, others were sliced. The slices did not look pretty.

I would say no. I tried cutting an apple in half and slicing it. The results were not satisfactory. The slices are very thin. The slicer is the least effective of the pieces in this set. I use the graters and the julienne all the time, but almost never use the slicer.

Yes. I did the exact same thing with it by grinding a whole chicken. Make sure the knife is sharp of course.

The scissors are very sharp. I've been able to cut through chicken tendons between thighs/legs and wing sections but I don't know if they'll cut the bones.

Yes, use the diamond hone to sharpen the meat blade that has no teeth. Place the meat into your freezer and let the outside of the meat surface freeze to about 1/8 to 3/16 deep, freeze solid. Then using the Chefs Choice electric slicer # 610, one can easily slice the meat paper thin for beef jerky etc. See me on YouTube @ "Marty makes beef jerky".

The edges are round, so you will cut away the rounded edges. You will also need heavy duty scissors to cut. Scissors use for cutting chicken should work. Hope this helps!

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."

Absolutely. It took about an hour. I was able to break it into smaller pieces about 30+ minutes in. I have defrosted chicken legs and thighs as well so far. Have no fears. This is a definite must have!
