My most used attachment Given all the concerns about e-coli and mad cow, we decided last year to start grinding our own beef and lamb. This grinder does the job perfectly. We grind right into the short round Ziplock boxes (about a hamburger’s worth), which go into the basement freezer, and then we turn out the frozen “hockey pucks” onto a plate to defrost in the microwave, or right into the pot for bolognese sauce or sloppy joes. (“Honey, would you bring me up a couple of hockey pucks for dinner?)
It gets the job done, but it’s nothing special. I work in the food industry, so I’m unfortunately comparing this to its commercial counterparts. If you have small batches of meat to be ground at a time, this grinder is so much better than the crank grinders and gets the job done in a quarter of the time. I still use it, but here’s what I don’t like about it:
Works well I like to make my own sausage, so this, plus the sausage stuffing attachment, was a great addition to the kitchen.
