I slice my own meat but also have little scraps left can this work with sliced scraps or do I need to ground it up to use?

It will only work with ground meat. Maybe invest in a meat grinder.....that's my next purchase!

If you are talking about bits and pieces my thought would be no, but if it is some of the chewed up meat you get sometimes when using an electric slicer then perhaps. The cannon is big and I would say it is not worth taking out for a small amount (less than a lb.) in my opinion. It is awesome though.

I would have it ground to use in the shooter very nice gun works great with Ground Sirloin that is what we use to make our jerky. very lean.

You have to grind it up first. If you don't know what to do with the small scraps and don't have a grinder then use a tenderizer hammer on them and pound them flat. I used to slice my venison but now I cut it off the bone and into the grinder to use with the jerky shooter. It saves me so much time and the ground meat does not need to marinate as long either. Big pieces will not stick together and will clog the end.

I have used the scraper when brown meat in the iron pot and then scrap to get the scraps up. But, I am also now using it when I cook my oatmeal in a stove pot.Eveything just comes away from the sides of the pot. I put the rounded edge toward the curve of the pan or pot. Hope this help.

Carl, as long as you don't accidentally let your meat slide under one of these slicers, you should be good. Once any form of meat touches the slicer, vegetarians are no longer legally allowed to use this product. Trust me, I found out the hard way and had my wages garnished and lost my spot in the JG Wentworth commercial series.

I know for small scrap booking ones they say to use aluminum foil. Your suppose to chop it up a few times. Not sure of this works, but it might help.

It's only around 4 inches wide so I would say no, unless it was a small cabbage and you quartered it before slicing. I wouldn't purchase this item it's very cheaply made particularly when you look at the price. When you bare down to slice it varies the thickness of the material you're cutting. I ultimately discarded the item is being useless.

I has a scrapping blade that comes with it. But I think a heat gun and a putty knife would work better.

I doubt it. I threw mine away. The wood started splintering. There is this other one I got which comes with an electric slicer.I am moving and put it away. I will let you know later if you are still interested.

It will cut pretty thin if meat partially frozen an eighth of an inch or less really haven't measured. I love mine wish I had bought it years ago.

as a chef i can tell you NEVER try to cut bone with a deli slicer, DANGEROUS and will dill the blade with just one use! You need a heavy duty meat saw(similar to a bandsaw, for carpenters), dont use this machine for this purpose , william olsen- willyobiker@yahoo.com

I think unlikely, though I haven't tried it. The round metal "blade" is not sharp so I imagine bone would not get ground up. The meat gets pushed through the metal attachment and becomes minced. It's mainly for small jobs and bones would probably break the mechanism. Hope that helps.

I mixed pork fat with my deer meat and it ground it. Like i said for the money it did the small amount of meat i had. I'm used to a butcher shop grade grinder

Yes, it has to go somewhere..just chop it up and use in the rest of your recipe..or save that and the top that you can't shred for soup

I think it works better if the beans are raw. You can try blanching them a little and see if that works better for you. I haven't had a problem with this slicer and have used it for 3 seasons. I have to "clamp" it to a heavy cutting board because I have granite counters and they're too thick for the "clamp" on this slicer. I too put a chair under the board and let the slices fall into a bowl on the chair.

I've never used it for such. I have tried other cuts of meat but it takes experimentation. It is perfect for rotisserie chicken and it is fine to experiment with other items, but I am not confident enough to use expensive cuts of beef or lamb.

I have actually never tried it. Normally when chopping any types of meats like pork, steak ect. it would need to be semi-frozen for easier chopping and precision. Since it chops hard potatoes I don't see why it won't dice up pork, steaks, stew meat ect. It would need to be somewhat frozen because it's even hard to chop and dice meat when it's thawed out with a knife. This is just my assumption. This is made really sturdy, so I think it would work but just not something that is frozen solid, partially thawed. When you purchase this just try a small piece and see how it does. This is a vegetable chopper so I am only telling what I think it may do because I have one because it's made so well, I feel it would work but 100% not with putting anything thawed out on it. Anything put on this chopper needs to be some type of hard texture so it can be pushed through the blades. If the meat that you want to chop is semi-frozen and in a small piece it would probably chop and dice it up.

I've sliced up venison roasts and whole muscle venison frozen with no problems. I've had mine for a yr and had no issues..

The tallow from the meat will coat the rubber on the blade wheels and the blade will come off. You would need a pressure washer with garage floor cleaner for clean up. So the answer is YES & YES
