Yes use a meat tenderiiser add a half cup of watter cook on high for about 10 minuits. If not cooked to your taste cook another 5 minuits on high

I have cooked ground beef and stew beef in mine with good results but I don't think it make the beef any more tender than cooking on top of the stove, it was just quicker and cooked, ate, and stored (in refrigerator) from same pot. I use mine almost every day. Have even cooked pasta in it for Kraft Mac & Cheese.

yes i have cooked chicken in it there is a recipe that comes with it for chicken you could probably do pork or steak.there are cookbooks for pressure cookers

It is more of a steam kettle not a true pressure cooker. That means that it will not tenderize tough cuts of meat like a true pressure cooker will. However,it is a pretty good microwave steamer for vegetables. I have not had any luck cooking meat in it.

I would say no! Because the two pounder cold roast beef can cut except the side panel was weak and moved back and forth thats why cut meats are uneven cut. I never try to cut frozen meat so I'm not sure if it works well.

If you have a micro wave in the 1300 watt power range it does well. It will even sear the meat. I have a 1350 watt micro wave and can turn out a medium well steak seared on both sides in about 6 minutes. The power your micro wave matters.

The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

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 this once, and it was for steak. I don't think it would solve your problem. Get a tenderizing hammer, or a gizmo that looks like you are puncturing the meat with 20 little razorblades to break down the texture. No advice on cookbooks.

Not that I'm aware of. I am not pleased with my unit because the blades are to far apart to really tenderize the meat. You have to run the steak through many times to get a desired effect.

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, I haven't made anything with meat but the recipe book that comes with the cooker has recipes in it that include cut up meat.

I suppose you could but wouldn't be best suited for that purpose. I wouldn't. It is more of a devise to cook meats. I don't eat much beef but basically use it for chicken breasts; pork chops, salmon and fish. It does great. I haven't had a stove hooked up for 3 years. I have a toaster oven, microwave, nuwave pic and the nuwave mini. It does it for me as a single person who lives alone. It is really a cooker; not like a toaster oven so wouldn't make toast in it.

We have used this machine to "cube" cuts of steaks. We run the meat through a second time, which makes it even more tender. I expect you could do stew meat with it. It may work with smaller pieces of meat. Might be worth a try.'

Yes, especially processed meat. Works fine cutting through a sandwich with cheese and deli cuts as well.

The knives have a serrated edge on one side and will cut thru sandwiches, salad materials etc., but probably won't cut dense meat such as beef, pork, mutton etc.. Much depends on how the meat is cooked also for instance grilled meat is more dense than baked or slow cooked meat. I hope this helped.

I'm sure you could if it was moist enough. The design of the jerky gun is basically take the ground meat, pack it in the tube, and squeezer the trigger. Also the plastic is a bit thin so forcing anything through it could damage the gun or it's parts.

NO. the Micro is hand use only. I had to purchase a Dremel cordless large size for the tool station.

It may be possible, but would probably take a lot of time to cook bacon and steak. The heat does not go up very high and of course it is marketed as a sandwich maker, so I would be worried about the speed at which it could cook anything else thoroughly.
