Can A Meat Slicer Cut Bone?

Yes, a meat slicer can cut bone. This handy kitchen appliance is excellent for easy slicing and dicing significant cuts of meat. A meat slicer uses an adjustable blade to slice through any food item, including bone, rapidly. 

The trick to successfully cutting bone with a meat slicer is ensuring that the blade is sharp enough and adjusted correctly. A dull blade will not cut through the bones cleanly and could damage the machine if pushed too hard. It’s best to use fresh, sharp edges explicitly designed for slicing meats when attempting to cut through bones with a meat slicer.

Additionally, it helps to ensure that the thickness setting on the machine is set correctly before beginning the slicing process. The thicker you need your slices, the higher you would set the thickness setting. The thickness of the bones should be at most 1/4 inch for best results. If too thick, the force required may cause damage to both the machine and your knife blade.
