How does it perform with steak or other thicker cuts of meat

We have used it for steaks they were pretty good. Have not used it for thicker cuts of meat.

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.

I have not cooked steaks in mine. But I do thick pieces of chicken very often, and it does them very well. I think it would make a great steak. But like all the others have mentioned, it all depends on the power of your microwave, and how well this pan works in it. I would recommend you do some experimenting with it before you cook for others....and especially before you put an expensive cut of meat in there. But once you figure it out, its a great little device.

I've cooked steaks, chops, they come out GREAT!! just have to experiment with the cooking times.. but I usually cook about 2 1/2 mins then turn over, cook another 2 mins. sometimes you have to cook longer. all depends on the microwave..

I used it for strips and rib eyes. I loved it. Bought one for both my sister and nephew. It leaves grill marks and I thought steaks had great taste.

I have used my Rapala Lithiun Ion Cordless knife to fillet fish and carve beef and pork for two years without problems with the trigger being stiff or hard to depress.Mike D

I only slice meat from a frozen state, provides a much more consistent thickness. The machine has been slicing frozen meat for over two years and still works. It is advertised as being able to slice frozen meat and i have had no issues.

The knife has a thin blade and thus has a little give to it. However, the thin blade makes dicing small items like shallots and garlic a breeze. If you are cutting up a potato, for instance, the blade will give a little and not make the perfect cut. This is my go to knife for the small stuff. It stays sharp with a little care.

It is micro-serrated, like most butter knives and cuts very well, but would not necessarily replace the need for a true steak knife on tougher cuts of beef. Does fine on tender beef, chicken, etc. Beautiful flatware, very happy with it.

Hi I have sliced so much meat at one time, it never over heated and never shut down. I had sliced 10 of cornbeef, I had purchase from the deli a whole one and I sliced a 10 pound slab of corn beef sliced thin it took me over 1 hr of slicing and it was still Great! this was a good purchase i had made.

No it has worked fine for slicing about a pound or two of meat at a time. That's all I need it for. I love mine!

I haven't tried it, but I would think that if you cut the meat into bite size pieces it could work. It is very powerful!

I made jerky when I purchased the unit and it sliced right through the meat no problem. I would think it would do the same with cheese.

Every kind of meat I put on the slicer works beautiful! Tri tip ham, turkey and so on! I haven't tried bacon, but with this blade being larger it would probably accept a slab of bacon. Also, easy to clean and blade very sharp! Great for all thickness of sliced meat!

no. It it will tenderize meat like a cube steak.I guess you could chop it up into bite sized pieces after you tenderize it.Hope this helps.....Jim

I use it to cook all the time if I'm just cooking for two. You can adjust the temperature if full blast is too hot. Steaks, tuna and pork chops all do very well just on the infrared burner. For thicker meats, like chicken or a very thick steak, I'll use the regular grill, too. Last night I cooked two ribeyes medium rare in about six minutes on the side burner. Warm up is quick, too, two minutes or less. I'm saving gas like crazy.

I use it as my regular, everyday knife. Cheese, hard vegetables, soft vegetables, meat, it doesn't care; cuts right through them.

It 'can' be used to cut meat with but because of the type of blade it is, it's not real efficient. You would have to use a sawing motion to do that (I have done it) AND, it will cut through the meat; just not as smooth as a different blade. I've used it for a lot of things other than cutting cheese products; vegetables seem to workwell when using this knife (carrots, celery, etc). Things do not get stuck in the holes (including) meat, it's just not meant to beused for cutting meats.

The julienne blades work very well with harder vegetables. I prefer it to a v-slicer as it seems to not jam up.
