How is it for chopping meat such as ham or cooked chicken?

Fine, so long as you don't try to do too much at a time, but that's pretty much the case with everything.

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.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.

Hi, Happy New Year! To answer your question; I've chopped just about everything you could imagine in my pro chopper. I have to say, it all depends on how you prep for the cut. I do not recommend trying to chop raw meats unless they are frozen. Cooked meats will put too much pressure on the handle, causing it to crack or break. (mine cracked but was still useable) If you feel any pressure from the handle at all, just back it up and try again. Hope this answers your question. Good luck and happy chopping!

I haven't used the thing but my wife was quite impressed with it, she did cook a slab of ribs and they were delicious. It looks like you could comfortably cook a decent sized (family of 4or5) beef or pork roast.

Sorry, we haven't used it to chop meat yet but my thinking is it would do the job.

Yes, I have used it for ground beef as well as steaks, pork chops, and chicken.

Yes, very sturdy and easy to clean. I have cooked chicken, turkey, steaks and pork chops in mine and it comes out great.

I gave this requested gift as a wedding present. Didn't study it very hard. I don't think it had a serrated edge, so I don't think it would do raw beef or similar meats. I've used one very similar on chicken tenders , though I usually use scissors on small raw meats like that.

I have only used it to carve a turkey and a ham and it worked fine. I have never used it to cut raw meat

frying pan is wonderful for meat. Used mine last night to make chicken legs.

Hello Bern44, yes you can chop meat on these cutting boards. Since it's bamboo it is an Anti-microbial product and washing them is very easy just use soap and warm water. Any left overs from chopping meat is easily removed with a simple wash. Sincerely, Premium Bamboo

I haven't used it for chopping nuts but I can't see where it would be a problem. I am on my second chopper and I wouldn't buy another type.

It depends on what you are chopping. I would say in general a qt. I do small chunks at a time of some things. You pick up the feeling very easy by the way the handle turns.

No, it doesn't even really chop. Not quite a grind but not a chop either. I bought it to chop raw meat for my dogs and gave up on it.

I haven't try frozen meat. I only used to cut hams and roast beef. For the most part this slicer work as good as the high end meat slice.

You can but wouldn't recommend doing so, the chicken that we have used it on turns out very dry, and soaks up a lot of oil, not sure about pork chops.

So funny you would ask that! One of the big reasons I bought it was to make dog food. My very small Shih Tzu just had her teeth cleaned and several were removed. I use the Cuisinart to make chicken and brown rice meals for her. I poach the chicken on the stove first and then it chops perfectly - not in chunks, more ground. It would probably do just as well with raw chicken. I haven't found anything that it can't handle yet.

You can chop anything in this handy little chopper. I love mine and use it for everything.

it cuts fairly thin (definitly not SHAVED thin). I really have not tried to see how thin it would go because I like things a little thicker. Does great on ham, roast beef, etc.
