I love my Kitchen Aid Shears...they cut chicken skin and fat with out much effort... I use they nearly daily.

It's not really what it was designed for. It's more for thin slicing roast beef, turkey, corned beef, etc.

The feed tube is approx. 4 3/4 inches wide. 3/4 of an inch thick is all I ever run, anything thicker and it is almost impossible to turn the handle. I usually cut beef 3x3x1/2 - 3/4 size. I run it through 3 times for chicken fried steak or country fried steak. Run through, turn 1/4 and run through, turn 1/4 and run it through again - it really grows, so you have a large size piece to work with.

I have used fat and it works fine, don't have any experience with tendon or muscles. However, I am sure it would work.

all depends on how thick. I do chicken, for my dog. I slice ,pound, takes about 5 hrs. I don't open for at lease 4 hrs.

I don't know because I'm right-handed. However, I really do not recommend it as a general kitchen knife. It's good for dejointing chicken; but doesn't cut the skin at all. I am disappointed with it.

I think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!

I grill steaks, chicken breasts, chops and burgers with this press, it works great....the meat cooks much faster with heat from both sides, it marks up the meat great. It sits lopsided with a bone-in, but still works great. TIP....pre-heat the press well on a seperate burner and baste the meat with oil or butter.

I haven't used it yet for opening coconuts - but it does a great job of cutting through my chicken bones when I make curry chicken :)

Did you ever buy the Hamilton Beach knife as I need to buy one for the same purpose...slightly frozen beef to cut for making jerky. I'm doing the Fast metabolism Diet by Hallie Pomroy and lost three pounds the first week and seems like all I do is eat. The jerky will be a easy snack and I made it with ground beef but will want to cut it very thin.

It's certainly sharp enough; I've cut up a bit of meat with it, no hassle. As for cleaning and skinning anything, I've not had the privilege of attempting that yet.

I'm surprised at the "no" responses to this question. I use cut up chicken breast or cut up steak pieces whenever I start a new skill. If the piece is falling apart, shredding, or too big it can jam, but a well cooked piece chicken or meat, cut up with a good, sharp, not serrated knife works fine. The wheel comes out for easy cleaning and the bin is easy to wipe clean with the wheel removed.

I've used it to cut through deer legs and ribs. It binds a little bit on the bones, especially early in the cut, but it will get the job done.

I have used it to cut roast with no problem, but never tried chicken breast.

I've been using these Messermeister shears to cut through breast bones, wing and leg joints and just about every part of the chicken but I wouldn't expect it to be easy to cut through the leg/thigh bone transversely. I would think that for that one would need some other kind of tool other than poultry sheers.

This will cut thru the hardest bone. I'v chopped at least 100 lbs of chicken and the blade is perfect. I assume it will last a lifetime. Not losing it's sharpness is important. I give it 5 stars....Paul

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