Manual Frozen Meat Slicer, befen Upgraded Stainless Steel Meat Cutter Beef Mutton Roll for Hot Pot KBBQ Food Slicer Slicing Machine for Home Cooking of Hot Pot Shabu Shabu BBQ

Works great for slicing frozen meat. I make dehydrated meat chips and jerky. I have used frozen beef, chicken, and pork. Adjusting the thickness is so very easy. Love that it is manual and light weight, & compact, compared to the electric slicers. Be careful not to let the meat thaw too long, as it will just “chew or shred” the edges. Befen has great customer service, that info is in the manual that comes with the shipment. I advise that everyone read all the reviews, great information, especially for beginners. Don’t compare the slicing techniques to electric slicers.Befen frozen meat slicer is my favorite kitchen tool.

Overall, I’m quite impressed. The assembly process was straightforward, with clear instructions. It was simple to use. The slicer works well for cutting through frozen meat, delivering thin slices as promised.However, as the meat gets shorter on the left side, it does become a bit more difficult to cut. Largely due to the way the meat is positioned as it becomes smaller. To get the best results, I found that freezing the meat in the shape of cylinder that’s much easier to slice.Given said that, I still recommend this slicer for anyone looking to easily slice frozen meat at home.

Bought to slice the meat for hotpot. Easy to use and got the job done. The meat had to first prepared adequately. The hardness of the meat is really important . This is what I usually did. 1) separate and cut the large pack meat from store into 12” x 8-10” pieces and freeze them at least overnight 2) take the frozen pieces from freezer and put them in fridge at least 8-10 hour depends on the cut size. you can take them out of freeze at night to slice them next morning or take meat out of freezer in early morning and slice it in the evening. The meat slicer should work nicely.

This product is extremely easy to use and really easy to clean up. Be extremely careful as the blade is exceptionally sharp.Some things that may be helpful. When you assemble the food tray/guide, be sure to make sure it's not too far to the right (near the blade). I made the mistake of having it too far to the right and nicked it with the blade. I adjusted it back to the left a little to ensure the blade clears it and I haven't had any issues since.Make sure you hard freeze your meat overnight. I've used this to thin slice/shave rib-eye steak for bul-gogi, thick and thin slice pork belly as well as thin slice brisket. As long as your meat is hard frozen (over night or longer, as the instructions recommend 48 hours), this slicer will shave/slice the meat paper thin.Setting the blade is fairly easy. I generally just eye-ball it, make a slice or two and adjust if my slices aren't the desired thickness or if the cut is uneven. It adjusts fairly quickly, so not much worry there.The blade guard is pretty solid and it's really hard to cut yourself if careful and are operating it safely. You'd really have to have a finger up in there to cut it and the guard is such that even then, you'd probably only get the tip of your finger as gross/large cuts are blocked by the guard arm. Always use the feeder tray properly and keep your fingers away from the cutting edge. Did I mention this blade (and replacement blade) are extremely sharp?!Clean up is easy and fast. Hot soapy sponge, wipe it down and spray it off in the sink. Just be careful as the blade is extremely sharp and will easily slice through a sponge or careless finger.The only negative aspect of this item would be the feeder tray as I would like the action to be a little smoother, but again, that might just be nit-picky. and it might break-in over time.All-in-all, I found this to be a great value. I now buy meat in bulk from the local grocer and Asian market, so that whenever I want a quick meal, I can put some on the slicer, serve up some steamed rice and ban-chan and be grilling within a few minutes.

This is my first such device, so I have nothing to compare it to. First, it cuts very well. We used frozen brisket, which I cut into smaller pieces before freezing. The overall cutting and operating experience was excellent.Cleaning is another issue. The blade does not sit flush, so the meat got into the small space between the blade and handle. I had to take apart everything for cleaning.The parts holding components together are not finger friendly. The two nuts holding the feeder table to the bottom are difficult to install. It would have been better if they were more of a knob shape, allowing a better grip.I had to disassemble the feeder as some meat got onto the spring. While taking the feeder apart required no tools, the nuts holding the feeder in place were too small for my hands. It was a struggle to put them back on.The blade had to come out because the meet got between the handle and the blade. The two bolts holding the knife in place must have been installed with a power tool set to max. The Allen wrench provided did nothing to dislodge the blades. After several attempts, I stripped the Allen wrench without any impact on the nut. Ultimately, I used a power screwdriver set on max while applying additional pressure with my hands to turn the bolt. Way too tight.The blade is exceptionally sharp, so I cut my finger while trying to remove it. There was blood.After washing all the parts, I applied a little oil to the pieces to avoid them getting stuck too tightly again. Some folks complained that all parts are not made of stainless steel. I will check tomorrow to look for any rust.Improvements I would like to see:All stainless steel parts, no rustFinger-friendly components that do not require having power tools and Allen wrenches on hand to disassemble.The whole cleaning process took a little time. So, the product works great but requires significant cleaning investment. If you plan to buy this, keep extra tools nearby in the kitchen.I am likely to return this device and continue looking for other options.
