Can this be used to chop pork butts, chicken, ribs, bread, etc on a daily basis? Do they keep a good edge after constant daily use?

I don't know. I use mine exclusively for mincing garlic and herbs. It keeps a really good edge.

I'm sure a butcher would need a sharpening steel. This is a good one, but I have no idea how long it would last being used several times daily compared to other brands. Sorry...

Yes, it does a good job, but make sure that you keep an eye on how fine you wish to chop/grind them! It's a personal choice.Hope this helps.

I would not recommend slicing anything that is dense and hard as a cooked brisket, but it may very well work on something less hard. I have used it on meats up to 1/4 inch and it works fine. I really wish I had bought a more powerful motor because after using this one only 8 to 10 times, it is showing sighs or wearing out.

Yes you can. I love this knife a lot! I do use it daily even thou I have a slew of top quality knives at my disposal.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

No I would not advise using it for chopping as that is what brought about the demise of my previous shovel... For that function I would use a metal shovel but for snow shoveling, wood chips, dirt or refuse it is GREAT !!!!

I actually stopped using mine. It works fine (as long as you don't overdo it and break the handle) but I got tired of the constant clean up and it takes up a lot of space. I also found it necessary to clean after each use because of fruit flies. It's just as easy for me to chop scraps up while I'm cooking.

No problems chopping the veggies you mentioned. Will dice them very finely if need be. The longer you hold down the pulse button, the finer the dice. The blade is good, remains sharp through tons of uses. Easy to clean, but the top unit contains the motor and cannot be submersed. I just use a damp paper towel to clean it. The rest is easily washed by hand. The blade unit comes out of the chopping chamber for easy cleaning. I do not know specifics about warranty, but I do know that Black and Decker usually offers life time warranties on their products.

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.

Since it's a serrated blade I haven't tried it on raw meat or chicken. It's my definite "go to" knife for cheese and most vegetables and have given to friends as a gift.

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!

it won't Create Cube steak like from the Butcher...however you can create very tender Cube Steak Like out of cheaper cuts of beef. One of the most important tools in my kitchen...I use on beef, chicken, pork

I'm sure you could. I've been using it to chop up cilantro and other herbs. The blades are sharp so be careful cleaning it.

I use it to chop nearly anything that will fit in the bowl. For lettuce and spinach you'd have to do a very small amount at a time. It would probably only be practical if you needed a small amount.

Don't Know. I know if you keep chopping onions with it they get really mushy!! I really just use it to dice onions and garlic for my tomato sauce. I have to be careful that I don't turn the handle too many times.
